Removed lower wiring harness today to replace it with a new one.... The reason I'm doing this is because I was a dumbass and didn't disconnect the battery prior to removing the supercharger, so..... When I removed the supercharger and it dropped down about an inch it touched the starters positive and negative and it lit up pretty good haha, its all good though nothing was seriously messed up and the new wiring harness has already been ordered. No biggie, I know what I'm doing and am replacing it as soon as the new harness arrives. Good news is that I'm gonna be running E85 and 10 - 14lbs of boost as soon as its back together :) KA24DER FTMFW!!!!

not yet just spend all my money for the kids for the holidays but they will be soon. Waiting for a check or two to get the 5lug conversion and the necessary adapters to get them on, and with income tax money comes the coils, toes,etc. I am just as anxious as everyone else is to see them on an s13. Coming soon! Check my build on the sig to get some insight. :naughty:

Me and a buddy installed a LSD and I pulled out of his shop sideways. No more peg leg, and I can go threw snow.

Makes a hell of a difference doesn't it! Have fun, but be safe about it.....

I simply pulled the car out of the driveway, wiped the snow off, shoveled. Then Pulled the car back in.....Pretty easy day for her....We will see what the night brings, I love snow.

I finally got my stereo head unit installed. I couldn't get it to turn on after I hooked everything up. I started tracing the ground wires and realized the factory harness doesn't have a ground wire. I ended up running my own ground to a bolt near the shifter connected to the chassis. The speakers still suck so I need to take care of that next.

do you have the "active speaker" amps in the doors? or the factory amp in the rear?

I don't know, I've only had the car 2 weeks. I just wanted to put a new head unit in now and deal with the speakers when I get paid. I figured the factory speakers were powered by the head unit and not an external amp. I'll have do do some checking on that.

Today on the way to work (Auto Tech) I found out that the rad and lower hose had frozen over night :tisk:. So I had to leave it at another shop and have them thaw it out and put coolant in it :facepalm: . I forgot that most of the coolant was water from the summertime when I had to throw a rad in it. Maybe I should take car of my own car instead of everyone else's :gotme

i just bypassed my door amps amps and rear amp the sound is so much better even from my cheap aftermarket speakers. if your car has the active speaker nonsence it will say active speaker on the speaker grille on the door, if not, delete your rear amp (if equipped).

Had a pretty ugly dent in it. After I put the piece on my baby, I beat the dent out of my original piece so it is I have a gold under tail light panel for sale. Anyone wanna buy a running KA24E with the wiring harness. 150,xxx $200 buck :)

I will buy the ka24e!!!!
