Its not hard at all, but its frustrating trying to get the PCM back when there is not as much room to work with. But if you dont want to ever use the TCS then you just dont extend the wires to fit. But if you want the TCS to still function then you just have to extend the wires to the plug to get back that far

Why the hell would you remove the bar?!!! It looks great.

Great job so far. You are doing a lot of thing I have never seen before, keep up the good work!

Lucky, I sent you a PM re: your empty holes along the fenders. Check out a hardware store to fine black plastic plugs for those.

It was a PITA for me at first, then I realized that I could just unbolt and remove the bracke that holds the PCM in-that made it MUCH easer. Reinstalling the PCM is tricky and you have to becareful not to scratch the fender.

Lucky did it right by removing the plastic cowl-i didn't want to deal with that though.

pollished hood struts?
something with the brake res.?

If you polish the hood struts, its a must to clear coat them. I polished a set of mine and they rusted within a month. Its not a secret how babied my car is and how it never sees any elements either.

here are some better pics:

still need to place the wires neater but you get the idea

and here is a pic i didnt put up, EVAP Solenoid relocation: look by the red battery hookup (this will all be covered by TSS's engine kit)

Did you have to drill holes in the coils to run the threaded rod thru????

nope they are already in the coil

**00blacktransam112** · 08-22-2009, 10:38 AM

looks great. it seems that the coil relocation is a miserable bitch to do though. it just looks so cramped up there that i would just get frustrated and start breakin shit

**Redphoenix1998** · 08-26-2009, 09:52 AM

wow looks really good

Its not terrible, but yes it is cramped when you go to pull on the plug wires. However the valve cover can come off in 5 min. now

Thanks for the compliments everyone!
