Here's how we do the wiring. http://www.ausubaru....ead.php?t=12147

If you butcher it and send us a tangled mess to be fixed you will have to buy new looms so be careful about taping the loom together in sections.

ah yeah right. been a while since i've been up there, they did a head gasket for me about 5 years ago. probably the last time i was up there lol

[Shaz]

My mates old man owns the shop. Apparently he's a Subaru veteran. Some ridiculous amount of years at Subaru as some guru, then opened his own Subaru specialist shop. It's good to be able to take my car somewhere where they know what they're doing.

yeah i think he was at Buckles for AGES then decided to go his own way yeah? always nice to have an guru a phone call away

with their help i'm sure your conversion will be a done without drama

Fingers crossed mate. Transplant begins at 0700 tomorrow. Hoping to have it up and running by Tuesday arvo.

So a bit of progress. We've managed to scrap absolutely everything out of the STi cut, and laid everything out for a better picture. I've not started pulling my car apart yet, because the new plan is to take everything out of the STi cut, wire everything up, replace bits and pieces, and do the whole transplant in one weekend (As my original, now completely undo-able plan was)

As many of you have told me, the wiring has become an issue. Not sure exactly what way we're going to go with it. At the moment, I'm thinking of purchasing a second hand Haltech, and buying a Loom, and using that, as it will be much easier to splice the haltech into my original Liberty Loom (Without removing it from the car, which i do NOT want to do) Whilst this option may not be the easiest, it will be good for long term to already have a aftermarket ECU for tuning purposes if(when) the mod bug hits again.

I'm also thinking of sending my looms upto Al at AMAuto, but again, i don't want to pull the loom out of my car. So I'm thinking of buying another 00 loom,(The "spare" i had isn't actually a Liberty one...) and sending that off, then once i have the spliced one back, swapping them over.(I know this is a back to front way, but i want to have my car still drivable whilst the loom splicing occurs)



Mechanical wise, everything is going well though. I'll try and get some more pics up shortly, my computer is being a fscknose and not uploading for somewhere.

Check this out, the front brakes + engine bay of my mates Club Spec Evo 4. Does 0-100 in like 0.5 second.

I also apologise for the lack of beers in the photos, for some reason they are invisible in them.
