  • the VRIS actuators literally were resting against that lip on the firewall, so the aspire engine bay has got to be much bigger

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

    • sounds like your engine sits higher than mine too, mine tucks nicely under the lip, and I folded mine up against the firewall. It just took a few good hits with a dead blow hammer.

          • Hey any new progress?

            Comment


            • Actually yes, i've gone through the second harness and i'm just about done with it

              today i started by stripping the interior out to re-wire a few things, i've decided to go ahead with a wire-tuck now, it may not be a perfect tuck, but hey it's my first attempt at one :lol:

              Here's how the car looks right now..... kind of a sad sight but i'm just thinking of the finished product



              A nice bare engine bay



              The festiva wiring that will be re-used



              And the back of the engine where i ran the first harness i trimmed down



              Next step is to bolt the engine in place, then run the wires where i want them so i can do whatever i need to do to keep the harness hidden
