February 6, 200719 yr 'Bout time Scott! Awesome. Nothing like not lacking power out on the trail. Time frame? My wife's leaving for Japan for a few weeks in March. I'll have lots of spare time to wheel. . .
February 6, 200719 yr Author Time frame? in March. . . it should be up and running within a few weeks I have all the parts ,ECu and wiring, I have the whole car it came out of , lets do it !!
February 6, 200719 yr Author Tenetively 10th and 11th at the cabin? Reason I say cabin is because it's still good and muddy there. The creek is running, but soon will have salmon babies headed down stream. We try to stay out of it while they make their little journeys. I will check with mar as she has a cousin over there and its about time we visit them
February 8, 200719 yr Author progress?? heres the rats nest from the Legacy and the dash is out in the EA the plan is to run without stock dash, heater/airconditioner. the ECU will be mounted right where the stock heater box was right up under the windshield , I want to keep all the major electrical up high and dry , figure this car should run well with water over the floor boards, with use a small light heater/defroster box from a old datsun
February 8, 200719 yr Author Are you planning on keeping that *sweet* paint job? I think it might continue to evolve , the blue doors and hood are Rollies so my original red doors and silver hood will go back on , also with a second set of safari doors which will also be a different color thanks SJR this is what it origanaly looked liked and the doors and hood will be going back on
