Default !wire mod & pcm cover

I had some extra time to work on the car so I decided to do the !WIRE MOD & make a PCM cover.

I relocated my MSD Digital Window Switch to the glove box.

Now I need to fill the holes and at least match paint the sides of the engine bay.

(sorry about the crappy phone pics)


!WIRE MOD:


Engine Bay b4 !WIRE MOD 1




Engine Bay b4 !WIRE MOD 2




Engine Bay during !WIRE MOD 1




Engine Bay during !WIRE MOD 2




Engine Bay after !WIRE MOD 1




Engine Bay after !WIRE MOD 2

LOL...it does look kinda cheesy, but I can guarantee you that my PCM will not be getting wet.

(no more corroded PCM connections)

One mod at a time boss, I'm in the process of making a battery cover...

Besides, I already have a N20 bottle in the rear passenger side and a stealth box in the rear driver side.

A dremel...there's nothing a dremel can't do!

I cleaned up the edges with different bits, but I didn't take pics.

Actuall, I've decided to have my painter do the engine bay the same color as my car...PXR

I've also filled the holes and smoothed out some factory "tach welds''?
Still not finished (thats etching primer on there)






...but I won't have time to give him the car until next month...
