When I had the battery in the boot of my crx I ran a big fat one direct to the starter motor and a smaller one to the front battery terminal.

I found that when I just had the one doing both it wouldn't start as happily in winter, something to think about maybe.

New Omex harness is on and guess what, there's issues.
Several plugs don't fit, should be able to splice most of them but I don't currently have a solution for the tps and iac, omex are seeing what they can come up with.
Few more bits to do up which are beyond me and are for the electrician. He comes to look at it tomorrow, bet he turns the job down.

Fingers crossed he doesnt, at this point you may have to bite the bullet and pay him what he wants to meet your deadline.

Money isn't his issue, it's time. He goes away soon, maybe I should call someone else. We'll see tomorrow.

I was caught in a traffic jam with a Monaro. It sounded fantastic. Earthquake frequencies.

There was one at oulton park when we went drifting, it sounded beautiful!
They just sound so much more soulful than a straight 4, can't describe it.



Drew up some new mounts to be lasered ASAP, and going to get the flange for my sump redone in 8-10mm thickness and try not to warp this one.

Made a U piece for the coolant system to delete the cabin heaters for now.
Going to try get my hands on a honda throttle cam tomorrow then somehow fit it to my throttle body.

Hopefully have all the mechy jobs done tomorrow night/sat day
Excluding the sump and swapping of engine mounts.
