For people wanting covers to wiring radio shack sells mountable boxes they label "Project Enclosures" typically used for pc and electronic stuff but would probably work for covering up crazy wiring messes. They have all kinds of shapes and sizes. I'm hopeful that maybe this summer I'll start a ka swap and will definitely be ordering one of these if I get that accomplished. Great stuff!

Nas I know this is kind of old but I'd like to hear what you found out?

Aw come on no pinup for the street fighter?! :D

Cool thanks Daniel. A friend is going to stop by sometime soon to help me with a bit of wiring and I'll be sure to pass on the info. I have a ton of loose wiring not connected to anything I'd like to get cleaned up. :angry:

Awesome thanks hainz. I believe the housing I'm getting is l20, it should show up today I think. I looked for the wiring (just a little bit) for the stock gauge and I think he may have clipped and tucked it somewhere. Can't find anything that would have been long enough. Thanks!

Short version I have an upper thermostat housing on the way. Anyone happen to know what the thread should be? I assumed metric but someone told me they might be british standard. I'd like to use and aftermarket temp guage I bought that has standard and some metric adapters. Long version The reason I ask is because my original one had an aftermarket standard in it that wasn't working when I got the car. A friend of mine gave me one of his and actually put it in for me while I was doing something else, also standard. Well his didn't last long because I never secured it to anything so I was replacing it again the right way this time. At some point the thermostat housing cracked because I no longer have anything to thread into thus the replacement. Obviously I'd rather not do that again.

Awesome so glad it was found! Scares me even living in kansas, better get a kill switch going too!

That red really pops. I like it. I hope his son isn't 16 or anything. :D

I like it, those are cool wheels too, different! What are they?

I got my last one in colorado, I could head over. :D

COmply why? You don't use it anymore?

Oh man, that's no fun! What are you doing to do, look for another? Rebuild this one?

Looks great!

Dubai plates like Dubai dubai? What are you doing for a rebuild?

I like the console! What's it from?

Dave real nice, the only thing I would change is the HUBCAPS. :D

Cody they are talking about the one with primer on one side and green on the other in the mud, not yours if that is what you are thinking. :D

Need to give it a vinegar bath (fuse block) I was looking at somebodies pics of their before and after, WOW. :D

Figured out some wiring and got my wipers working! Next up, developed some serious vibration on the way to my friends house last night so u joints or rear end work on the way. :mellow:

I bought some fuses and headed for my buddies house. We got out his meter (missing a cord for mine) and quickly found that one fuse that looked fine wasn't. Swapped that out, cleaned things up a bit and followed the wiring diagram and plugged all the wiring back into the plastic cap. We got a couple backwards and the motor ran when off instead of on lol. Another fuse later and we noticed if you clean the wiper motor a little better the wiring matches on the other side of the plug. Switched a couple around and VIOLA, slow and slower wipers! Still like I said blazingly fast compare to no wipers. :D Unfortunately on the way to his house I developed a heck of a vibration under load which I'm hoping like heck is u joints and not rear end. So my next set of posts will surely be about that. I'm checking it out after work and he had to give me a ride home.

Very detailed help thanks a million! I'll hopefully be checking all this tomorrow night! I'll let you know how it turns out.

No sorry for the misunderstanding the motors do that when I hit them with hot wiring from the battery not from the harness. Sorry about that.

I was just glad one of the 3 motors I bought worked and actually two of them did. The other one just jerks once when you hit it with power so I suppose it might work after some cleaning. I know the stock wiper motor is considered slow but it will be light years faster than NOTHING. :D

We'll definitely clean it up. As for the juice I wish when I squeezed it red bull or something energetic like that would come out unfortunately it's something more like prune or tomato. :D
