V1 IDRVSLO / TRACK / 08 SS TC **REGISTERED** #105

[Dre]

I wish I saw this before I did my harness. I may still pick some up when I do my dash buttons and lights.

 

[IDRVSLO]

What size is most of the wiring? 22-18? What is a good estimate to start with?

 

[IDRVSLO]

I believe so.

I only used the red and the blue. yo can find kits with only those two colors in them. I used 2 of those packs.

I tried those, but they can leave questionable joints especially if your wiring is corroded. But then again, I have high standards for solder joints. I was trained in the AF with NASA standards.

I understand, I am an electrical engineer myself, but if you have corroded wire you should clean it regardless of what you use. I have not had any problems with them thus far. We use them a lot on mud buggies that get submerged and so far so good. Guess it is just a matter of what your comfortable with.

The car is ready to go! One question, for the 08+ TC or heck even the SC folks did you have the fuel filter like the video shows? I crawled up and down the underside of the car and couldnt find it.

According to Lonny the TC's have a built in fuel filter that is installed in the fuel pump. No need for an external one. You just need to run a single line from the pump to the inlet on your intake. I did not know this at the time so I installed an additional one. So filtered fuel is filtered for me.

I did not have a fuel filter on my 08 TC.

You will have extra clean fuel.

yea I'm not running an additional fuel filter, just the one in the pump. I've heard of a couple doing it for piece of mind though. One of those mods that dont cost too much, isn't needed but can still give you peace of mind while driving

 

[IDRVSLO]

Donor is gone! All parts are sorted and in storage bins. Just starting the cleanup and painting. This week I will also start wiring! Stage 1 should be here around the 10th of September.

Fun stuff!

 

[BaltimoreHokie]

Looks good. Nice work on the control arms.

 

[Dre]

Cleaned them up real good.... So organized!

 

[IDRVSLO]

Thanks guys, the new pressure washer is working out well. I need to order some good quality satin black paint.

 

[IDRVSLO]

No update other than Stage 1 was picked up today! Just finalizing PC selection and continuing to clean parts. I am not happy about the hubs and how they cleaned up......I have surface rust, nothing bad, are people just painting over that stuff?

 

[Briann1177]

Yep. Cleaned and painted.

 

[IDRVSLO]

Grabbing the shipment from an Estes location tomorrow, then dropping off for powder mid next week. I went back and forth on colors for awhile but decided on Illusion Shocker, gonna look pretty crazy!
