I'm not going to bother tucking all this crap. I done plan on having this motor very long. I'm just going to clean up the existing harness so it looks nice but thats about it.

Sadly the fusebox takes up the entire passenger space so I have to run a factory style intake. I'm just using an e-bay intake pipe with a what ever filter right now. Its surprising how much room those tubs take up, I think I lost 2-3 cubic feet of space. I have a loooong way to go before it gets cleaned up. I want to get it driving first then I'll go back and tidy everything up. But I want to keep the harness as simple as possible with this motor. Once I do a V8 set up I'll relocate everything and hide all the unimportant stuff.

Power steering cooler arrives today so will go in tonight, I need to install the driveshaft and shifter, bleed the brakes and clutch and it should be ready for a test drive.

Hopefully my seat rail ships out here soon as well, I want to test out my recaro as well. Then I have to finish stripping the FN's and send them out to get polished and the new Nitto's put on.

After that I'll paint the car and just enjoy driving it for a while before I do anything else.
