wire harness problem Options

[celicaracer18]

ok i emailed elprototypes and they said

Hello:

Based upon our experience, this is not a simple job.

Testing, splicing and configuring for the application is about 30 hours. This assumes both harnesses are in original undamaged condition.

Note: We solder all joints and match all wire gauges to avoid the risk of damage to the vehicle.

The flat rate for this service is $1,500. The hourly rate is $65. / hour for damaged harnesses or repair of modified harnesses.

By now you may be experiencing "sticker" shock; however, we would like to assure you that the cost is real, as is the time to do it properly. (We do a lot of repairs to harnesses that have been improperly modified and the total cost is invariably higher for the customer.)

Regards,

ELP

is there not anyone who an do it cheaper, and i though someone told me ^they did their harness for $300

Mike(Qatar) used to do harnesses for people, but lately he's had trouble and some of his harnesses haven't worked. In addition, he hasn't been online much and isn't willing to help. So if I were you, I'd look into doing it yourself...Lagos and DG have been posting a lot of good information about the wiring, and they're very knowledgable and helpful.

If you're not up to it, there's a shop in Florida called Jamasco I believe, and they do 3S-GTE swaps into Celicas...they could probably do your harness for you.

Oh, and EL Prototypes is kind of slow from what I hear. Ray's car was there forever for his swap, so if you do get your harness done by them, make sure that they'll do it in a timely manner.
