battery set up is in with a quick install, i just need to tidy it up a lil more and make a better earth. heres a few pic's of it installed follow the big thick red wire...

on closer inspection the rear tower brace i got from skit isnt the same as the one my car had installed previously so im still going to have to fill the holes in the towers

had a bit of a play around under the bonnet today and i mounted my coil pack extended the wires for the coil pack, cleaned out the car cleaned out the garage, connected all my positive wires under the bonnet to the power cable, apart from the starter motor.

on the starter motor i have a thick black wire coming off it should that be connected to the positive? then i have a little wire next to it dose that go to the ignition? any pics would be great help.

now i got this loom ... WTF is it and where dose it go... do i need it?

Never seen that plug before? (but not really familiar with smallport) It should be pretty obvious what it plugs into if it's meant to be there!

On the starter, the smaller wire goes to STA and the larger one goes to +... if you had the smaller one going to ign then your starter would be running whenever the motor is turned on!

Looks like fun

lol ok, so i run a wire from the STA on the ECU to that wire?

[Golberg]

Yeah those wires are from something else, they're not AE86 or 4AGE related.

yea i thought so i couldnt find anything for it to plug into, i was thinking it was from an auto G/Box from a corolla if the SX corolla ever had a Auto box with the 4A-GE but i dontthink it did.

been stripping the factory window tint the last few days ... its a bit of a bitch. but im down to the last quater glass. ive just been using a razor blade and some metho to get the glue off after i peal it. it looks really weird now because the tint was so light you didnt really notice it but now its gone you can really see its missing.

i got bored so i quickly wired my old CD player into the car. i threw a box with some 6x9's in it on the back seat and re wired the original fronts into the mix and its not bad ... it will be alot better when i work out what im really gonna do for sound in this.
