electron_si Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 February 20, 2011 Finished the disassembly up and now have the car as a total rolling chassis. Quote Link to comment
electron_si Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 February 27, 2011 Got some work done on the dat today. I had to finish pulling the guts out of the passenger door and we went up to the storage unit to grab some lights we passed a body shop that is down the street from where we keep the car. I saw a guy outside touching up a car so i stopped in and asked about doing the bodywork for the dat. He came and saw our car and he agreed to get started on it in 2 weeks. So tomorrow the car will go out and get the fuel cell installed and the fuel pump and filter primed and then it will come back and go in for body work. Look for some updates in the next couple weeks because things are going to start happening. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Very awesome, I like looking at pictures. Cant wait to see the new color! Quote Link to comment
electron_si Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 yeah i know the pics aren't the greatest but i take them from my blackberry and it automatically uploads them to my photobucket account so its just so much easier than dragging out the camera snapping pics and plugging it in.

electron_si Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Ok.............Its back from the dead. My uncle called me a few days ago and was in touch with the body shop. They are going to come pick it up in the next 2-3 weeks to start working on. Stay tuned for updates in a few weeks. Im still at Ft Rucker so I'll try my best to have him take pictures, but I'm going back at christmas and i will take a TON of pictures for the thread. By then they will have it blasted and be deep into the body work so ill have some good pics Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 YAY. I was wondering what was going on with this car. Cant wait to see pictures. Quote Link to comment
electron_si Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Hey well im glad to see someone was watching this lol. Yeah plans kind of got put on hold because i was accepted to flight school for the Army which is why im down at Ft rucker right now. My uncle and I tried everything to keep the project going but im doing all the work on it so when i left it pretty much came to a halt. I was glad to hear that it will be going in for body work soon.

Laecaon Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 That is a very valid reason to not continue working on it. And Sending a car off for body work is a great way to fill time while you are gone. Have you come up with a color yet? Quote Link to comment
electron_si Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 90% sure we want to go alpine white with polished/black work equiips but we still arent totally set on that yet. Possible colors are a grapite grey or silver. picking a color has been the toughest part of the build so far. Quote Link to comment

electron_si Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I was thinking of the BMW alpine white but im sure its pretty close to subies color. I called ermish today to have troy double check my wheel offset choices for the works but he must be out of the shop, i was hoping to ask and see how far the suspension was from being done. We will prob order wheels in the next month or two. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Oh dangit I was wrong. Alpine white is BMW. I have Aspen white from Subaru. I wonder how the two compare. When I went to the paint shop I asked for white colors, and I went through the oem white paint chips. It came down to the two whitest in that room. I turned them over and saw Subaru on one and Honda on the other. I went with the Subaru color. So it sounds like you have an idea on what rims you are running? Wait, I just read above about the equips. 01 or 03? either are good choices! I cant wait to see this car come together. Quote Link to comment
electron_si Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Going with work 03's, not sure on the offset yet or disk yet but it will be a 15x7" wheel. here was the optional color combo i was looking at. Its prob a little too modern for what we want . I think these are going to be the final choice Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I would go with the all black ones. Its just different enough. Either way I like them! Quote Link to comment
electron_si Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 I think the next big hurdle for this build is going to be the wiring harness. Im going to build a harness from scratch for the the whole chassis....the problem is I have very little wiring experience. I did a full wire tuck on my 00 civic si but all i had to do was depin reloom and repin all the connectors and run them through the fenders so it didn't take making anything that i didn't already have. This is a totally different ballgame. I sent the f20c harness out to a company and they reloomed and removed all the unneeded plugs and made it look really good. Then they tied it into an ARC fuse distribution and swtich panel. Im just not sure how to wire from the switch panel to all the things i need power for (lights, turn signals, fuel pump) Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Run the stock 510 wiring to its stock box. The 510 has 2 wires that you need for the engine harness, Black/Blue is a start signal and really all it will do is plug into the starter. There is also the Black/White that is simply ignition on. So unless you are running a custom dash, it will be easier to just run the the stock switches to the stock fuseblock... Basically just piggyback the engine harness from the chassis harness.

electron_si Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I am definitely not going to do that just because this build has so much invested in it, im not going to retain the stock wiring. I want to fabricate all new wiring harnesses for the car. I've already got the new ARC fuse block wired into the f20c engine harness i just have to figure out how im running power to swtiches for headlights, turn signals fuel pump etc. I'll get it figured out.

electron_si Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 October 10, 2011 Ordered the full s2000 dash wiring harness so i can have the s2000 gauge cluster plugs as well as the factory radio plugs. Also ordered a new Inline Pro fuel rail and aeromotive FPR to start mocking up the fuel system when i get home. I think Im going to use all black lines/fittings just for a clean look. Its amazing how quick $500 in parts adds up. Quote Link to comment
dennis Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 right on!!! I am rewiring the 510 right now as well. I am doing it in a way that everything can be unplugged in sections with new wire, everything soldered of course and in a sleeve of braided wire loom with heat shrink at the new plugs.
