Decided to start part 2. Part 1 got locked at my request, it was going no where. This time is final, and a tribute to my car...
This will mostly be a journal. Not a how to. No where else to keep records. You are welcome to ask questions. No 2gr info here, there is a separate thread... This car has not been driven in 8 months, it has been used as a parts car, for the mr2, and the previous celica sold. Unfortunately, because of this, its getting new parts, or parts are getting blasted and painted. The car currently is a sad vision, 7 years of use, last 3 of neglect... few pics of current condition... ( no wipers, no knuckles, no seats, no steering, etc, etc, etc...) DSCN1313 ![]() DSCN1308 ![]() DSCN1310 ![]() holes left from removing things.. DSCN1312 ![]() the knukcles ive got, are rusted.... DSCN1311 ![]() Most recently decided to pull all the wiring, for the cruise control. I will never use it so... E3C0FF98 ![]() it was sent away EED8DDA9 ![]() while i was there... 1FDA2065 ![]() then.. B483D95E ![]() over the next few weeks will bring it back to life again.....

lol. i cant help it. Im working this week, but managed to put 2 hours in the car....
removed AC unit, and finished removing brown wire that feeds the cruise ecu at 16 pin. DSCN1355 ![]() while i was there cleaned the a/c evaporator, and sprayed lysol.... DSCN1354 ![]() whipped out some flex tubing in various sizing, what is that? it looks like this... DSCN1356 ![]() and then started to do the rewiring process, and halfway done there. I have to admit, its hard, but the results are great. DSCN1357 ![]() i have some wiring upgrades to make to the other side, since there is no cruise control, now i have a stalk, and 4 empty slots at the clock spring. So I may replicate Daniels, radio controls... This post has been edited by njccmd2002: Sep 24, 2017 - 12:52 AM -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

wiring is a tedious process.
created a small harness of 5 wires... DSCN1358 ![]() to use in the cruise control plug, to take advantage of the clockspring.. DSCN1359 ![]() looks now like this... DSCN1360 ![]() then proceeded to rewire the harness again... DSCN1363 ![]() and almost done for exception of the steering column... DSCN1361 ![]() and here is my harness that comes from the cruise plug. it exits with the ac control plugs... DSCN1362 ![]() dont know what ill use this for, maybe audio controls from the steering wheel. they are there as option... and all this just took 5 hours, of soldering and taping...

thanks guys. I know its nothing to be proud, but i need to really clean this wires, and stuff i undid in the past. This is the last time i mess with my car....
today i finished the steering colum DSCN1366 ![]() reinstalled the dash frame, and wired the amp wire on top of it to the center. i got tired of hitting it... DSCN1367 ![]() im doing jdm fenders, so i figured i had to mess with this... DSCN1368 ![]() all said and done.. Relocated the amp wire and tucked it under the fender, rewrapped the harness, after i had it all a mess. and it looks like this... DSCN1370 ![]() moving onto the dash.., nothing too serious, just need to professinally tuck the harnesses for the jdm power mirros. those are hanging on the sides.... DSCN1371 ![]() once i install the drive by wire pedal, and plug some holes, i will be reinstalling the dash again, for it never to come out.... (crosses fingers) ....

well not that many, since working on the swap delayed me a lot. little here and there.
Since the FRS seats dont fit, got a steamer finally to steam the foam and rejuvenate it, and wrap the oem seats in leather... DSCN1364 ![]() however, the stupid leather upper covers dont fit, they have somehow shrunk.... made a custom line for low pressure power steering. more info on the swap... DSCN1469 ![]() cleaned the subframe DSCN1463 ![]() and painted it... DSCN1473 ![]() painted the power steering rack. DSCN1464 ![]() and trying to hack some enlinks for the front. DSCN1472 ![]() cant do the engine wiring because i dont have a spcific plug, and it sucks.. so im just doing bits here and there..
