strippin my car... i hate it...

So where are the pics? I got to my ECU while sitting in race traffic. Took me about 10 minutes. That's how I found out where it was. I pulled everything to wire up my radio and saw it in there. Then cleaned up the coffee the p.o. spilt all inside of it. There's still some in there.

man it sounds like u got ur hands full

strippin my car... i hate it...

got home around 4pm friday afternoon and decided to tap the speed sensor wire in my car... and run the new monster cables that i bought for my amp... little do i know... it would take more then what vamp said (20min) to get into the ecu...

removing the center console was a pain in the ass... especially in our already cramped corolla. i didnt finish till 10-11pm... and i still had to work on it this moring for 3-4 hrs... i think i would need another 2 hrs before i would be done.

tryin to get into the ecu for the first time will take a good 1-2 hrs... thats if you want to still reuse ur interior pieces. otherwise... just rip those suckers outtta there...

i tried to run as much cable under the carpet as i can... and everything fits fine... the two monster cable that i had were huge... each cable was about the size of a 0/1 gauge power wire... i had a hard time running those... those wires cost about 100 bucks for the two.

taping the wire was fun... because it was easy to locate... the speed sensor wire is the VIOLET/WHITE wire... once i tapped into it, i was ready to put everything back together...

took me about 1-1.5 hr to put everything back... but guess wut... i had 4 extra screws on the driverside remaining... i was like... damn it! i gave up... cuz it was dark... and called it a nite...

next morning, well actually this morning... i used up 3 of the 4 extra screws. now i only have one extra... haha... oh well... ill save it for something... or next time...

took me about 2 hrs this morning to hide all the wires and make it neat with wire loom and stuff... car is lookin good.

i will post pics later on today when i am done with it...

hm... i thought i took more pics then just this... but oh well... i had half of my car interior out on the lawn... ppl drivin by was like.. "wft is that guy doing to his car"

i had my back seats out.... more then 10 plastic pieces out on the lawn... etc... my car was a mess... looked like someone jacked it or something...

i spend about... 160 bucks for wiring.... 90 bucks for the amp wires... and 70 for the speaker wires. they better work better then the old ones... monster cable xln... and xln pro...
