It's one of my favorite mods so far from the making your car look modern standpoint.

Spent a few hours working on the car last night, cleaned up the new wires that I ran for the Big 3, and ground wires, tied them down, put the rad fan back in, did a few misc things to get the engine ready to fire up for summer. Trying to get her ready for the meet next week, unfortunately hit a snag in one of my interior projects, so that won't be done in time. Gotta figure out a way to get to the vacuum line under the TB to replace those. Nice to be working on the car again

What brand are you looking at? Knu-Konceptz is top of the line stuff. Their top line is about the same as stinger, kicker, etc. but has more copper in it... And yeah, 1/0 ain't cheap, but it's needed in big builds...

Got plenty of work to do, took off Friday before the meet to work all day long.
Here's my short list:
Tie up ground wires and new custom 4 Guage wires (done)
Wiring for Projector HID ballasts rewired with new electrical setup (done)
Rad fan reinstalled, hoped to keep it out till I got new alt, but not gonna be done by meet (done)
Climate control and wood grain need put back in after climate control LED conversion.
Steering wheel trim needs put back on after steering wheel conversion (also have to test horns and new cruise control switch and possibly reset SRS light.)
Center console and radio reinstalled after shifter plate was painted satin black, and climate control was removed. Switch box in center armrest also needs reconnected.
2nd Gen battery box and optima recharged and reinstalled, after wiring upgrades and measurement for custom bracket (battery tray was reinstalled last night)
New 4 Guage wires stripped and installed with new battery terminals
Plastic windscreen underneath car needs remounted
WW Lip thrown on temporarily for meet (if I have time)
Install D2 coilovers if my buddy comes through on Sunday to help me
Full interior detail (although it's virtually spotless already)
Leather restoration and conditioning
Wash and Multi-Stage paint restoration and polishing. (Not sure how many stages will be done before the meet or after all depends on available time)
Vaccuum lines replaced with new black silicone hoses (may not happen before meet)
Subs into new speaker box (probably won't happen before meet)
I know I'm missing a few things, but can't think of anymore off the top of my head

It LIVES! MUHAHHAHAHAHA
So last night, I finished tying up the alternator, battery, and ground wires, and put the rad fan back in
Ground wire run across the front of the engine bay, battery to fuse box wire run around the back of the engine bay
Got the starter wire, the relay wire, and the 2 ballast relay wires stripped and into the 0 guage terminal, then stripped the 4 guage stinger wire from the fuse box to the battery, and put it in one of the 3 x 4 guage terminals. ( 2 remaining for 2 x 4 guage amp runs)
Charged the optima up with my deep cell charger, hooked the positive terminal up, ran a temp ground for the voltmeter, and hooked up the v 6 p ground kit, and I had power
Car fired right up, first time, no hesistation at all
No lights, no issues, AND no SRS light from cocoa's airbag

Thanks man, it's a brand new delphi, it's only an oem replacement 100 amp, but I'm putting in a 160 amp, wish i could have gotten it in when i did the 4 guage wire to it, before i put the rad fan back in, but didn't work out that way.

looks like a crazy list, i love to see someone who is really detail orientated, and most of the work is usually only know by you, as other ppl may not see all the slight touches
i was gonna ask you about buying an airbag, as i want to switch over to a woodgrain mdx wheel, but i see you got yours from cocoa
do i recall you painting the airbag aswell?
^further explanation is needed for this please

When I had my bumper off for the retro, condensor painting, horns, tranny cooler, rad, etc I never remounted the wind screen correctly, and while working on the car using a broom stick as a hood prop, I pushed the windscreen down by accident and it's hanging, decided it's time to bolt it back in correctly and secure it with clips or whatever it needs

Mitch and I have already solved this problem... Ebay US + UPS to Canada is much cheaper than Ebay Canada + Shipping to Canada...

Damn you Chris... Your car is going to be sick by this weekend, isn't it? Go figure... So it's either drive ~6 hours to see your car (and like 2-3 others) or ride along for 2 hours and go to Slamology... Too bad I've already made my decision... Looks good, and take lotsopics...
