Been on a buying spree lately.
Picked up my Harness and petal from PCI looks awesome. trying to figure out where to mount the ECM.
Got my Driving lights (69 style) from Marquez.
Ordered the auto meter/GMPP gauges.. those are on back order so I wont have them for a bit.
Picked up a DSE wiper kit and a DSE master and booster assembly.
Clutch master should be arriving next week.
Next steps... Mount DBW petal to floor, fit the clutch master an weld up a bracket on the petal as needed..
Moc up engine harness and start to build body harness, figure out where I am going to mount ECU and Fuse box...
FAB up dash center for VA 3 knob, top vent and three gauges... Hopefully like what DSE did on Dale Jr's car.
Should be posting Pics next week.

will be keeping a eye on the project. For the dse wiper install the top bolt first and then the bottom two. much easier to install that way. I just did mine today. lets see a pic of this harness from pci and what was the cost? could this same harness be used for a ls1 or ls3? Reason im asking is bc i might have to settle for a ls1 until i get the ls3 that i want

Will take Pics but it looks exactly as it does on the website... I highly recommend them... http://psiconversion.com/ I paid just under 1000.00 for the harness, ECU, petal, MAF and MAF holder to my door. Did a good amount of research on them via LS1Tech.com... looks like LS1 stuff is listed there as well

Today I made up a floor mount for the DBW and then made a bracket for the ECU. I have to wait to get my gauges in so I can make sure the ECU location works. If its good clearance wise I am thinking of just welding it to the cowl
Not a lot of room with the AC ducts right there....

[XLexusTech]

Took the day off.. got a good amount done... started with wiring made a lot of progress then decided to make some changes that require weatherpack connectors I dont have... (if anyone now a good source let me know)
Got the clutch master hooked up. I took a slightly different approach. I shortened the rod on both sides, then drilled into the fat end and ran a tap into it. Then ran a Die over the small end. this gives me about .5 to 1 inch adjustment.
started on my gauge panel.. too some 3" exhaust pipe slash cut them @45 degrees this is a rough in it will be much better fitted into the dash before its done. hoping for a factory look when its done.

completed my wiring on the bench.. now time to MOC it into the car. Fist step Batt.... (BTW optima no stickers with a new battery? ) the cutoff is removable goes through the lower bolt hole of the bumper for track days.

[tumper93]

Thought I was the only one with the idea for the cutoff run like that!! Great minds think alike I guess

[XLexusTech]

Got some Bling via the brown truck....

[BuddyP]

Definitely some nice parts going into this project! Love how your center stack gauge panel turned out, Mounted my gauges in the same spot only used angled bezels.
