He brought me the disc but we got it running before he left. I haven't looked at it yet. Man it sounds so sweet. I am having problems with the fuel pump the only way I was able to get the pump to come on was to ground out the green power wire. On that other harness I do have the ecu plugs are yours broken? You know you can have em if you need.

I want to get mine running so bad. But, stuck over here. I'll definitly need your help when I get back now that you know what goes to what. I do need one of the ECU plugs. Its the one on the right that has the batt wires. Did you drive it yet? Also, did nic drop off the tranny and he pick up the downpipe? Let me know how it drives and what not.

I'll get some pics and audio soon. It has been snowing here.I let it run for 10 min last night Still wondering why my gauges don't work but sounds so smooth and revs without hesitation. must have missed a ground, also does anyone know how to wire the fuel pump so it isn't on all the time?

Just hook an inline switch up to the fuel pump relay, that way you can have it on when ever you want.

Time to go in. Now to finish the body work and paint. Since I liked the old pearl white I decided to go with House of kolor pearl white prism blue. Man the pictures don't do it justice. The stripe is a gold flake with kandy blue over it.
