Looks to be out of a Caldina ST215. With that said, whose gonna do the wiring?

The same shop that's putting it in. It came with the wiring harness and ECU, so it shouldn't be to terrible. Hard part right now is finding a valve cover gasket.

Finally time for an update!! Wiring harnes has been made thanks to MR220v of the MR2 boards and the special is currently up on a lift at the exhaust shop. Boost gauge, fuel pump, and a couple odds and ends still need to be installed. Hopefully no more hiccups and I'll be up and running within a week or so. Got a dual outlet cherry bomb turbo muffler they're putting on, walbro fuel pump to go in, and intercooler piping for the CX Racing FMIC. 3" pipes from cat-back and 3"FMIC, all sorts of good stuff.

UPDATE!!!


So, turns out my mechanic has been stringing me along for quite a while now, either not doing things he said he was or doing them wrong. Car is back in my possession now. The mechanic kept claiming the wiring harness was bad, but he just didn't know what he was doing. Now thanks to a lot of help and guidance from mr220v it is nearly running now. Not only did he do a great job on the harness, but his knowledge and willingness to help out beyond just making it has been amazing. Still a lot of work to do to get it on the road, but it's a lot closer now than it would be if it were still sitting in the shop. Will post some pics/vids once I get it fully up and running.

So I've been working on getting the special back in shape after it's horribly long and useless stay at the mechaninc's shop. Since I'm waiting for a new EFI relay and some money to buy the stuff for the belt and everything else I decided to put the hood latches in. So guess who forgot to take into account the effect the curvature of the hood would have on the alignment of the pins with the catches!!

THIS GUY.




Not a huge deal, just have to move the pins over a bit, but still very frustrating having spent all morning working on it trying to finish.
