Duke Blues 15 Posted June 21, 2016 I hear that the price of solder and heat shrink is on the rise due to high demand in the Southport area. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfrace 116 Posted June 21, 2016 Jeez how much do you like spaghetti. It'll be an amazing enhancement, these mods really make the car more whole but god knows I can feel a migraine coming on just looking at that mass of wiring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richard thanks I tested everything as sub assemblies it looks worse than it is. the way to beat it is to treat and view each system as seperate. its only when they all join uo it looks bad also here on the pics, its not loom wrapped or tied back and everything is all on the bench, a lot of wires are in the bay and to rear of car so it looks worse, but yes theres a ton of wires behind dash ive tested each systm im very proud of the master warnign module and the auto sense rain wipers and especially the wash wipe system which i can programme also the mp3 system runs very nicely each system has its own sub loom and fuse its nto that bad really im the same as you though as i cant draw, paint or sketch and when i see your stuff my mind just blocks and thinks....how the hell do you do it? to draw those pictures like that.... amazing guess we all have our gifts Rich when i booted it all up and when you combine the systems and they all start working with each other its very rewarding. ive built systems that i need for BIG motorway miles and continental cruising this cars going to be bangin on some miles, swampy retires this year for a break and ruby takes over ive been driving around and these systems are what i want to make my motorway driving better ALSO you cant tell they are there ! ALL STILL LOOKS STOCK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
