Weathers been killer.... What did you use to activate the Can on the ECU?

Small, (well actually HUGE) update. She comes home tomorrow with working AC for the first time!! After all this time the Canbus was bad. I finally got the Gen 2 connected and the AC fires up cold and runs well:)

Here are some pics a photographer took at the shop during a car show they held there.

So I havent updated this thread in a while. I didnt want to post pics that we had in the COTM until it passed a little. So since that was back in August I thought I would post some pics in here now, plus a few that didnt make it into the post.

Enjoy!

I'm glad I've discovered your build, really great stuff and I'm going to ask you a bunch of questions. I want AC in my swap, but right now I'm occasionally getting MAF codes and the suggestion I got was that anything but a stock air intake is sketchy. Do you have details on how you finagled the setup of a stock airbox?

So we shortened the tube and then removed the bottom of the airbox. Right now its really an open air element (stock filter) into the airbox. I am going to fabricate a shield on the bottom when I get some time. We are using the stock MAF.

Still need to do some fabricating on the bottom of the airbox, but trying to make it look as OEM as possible in the engine bay.

I will do a full shoot when it's done.

Time to PM me so we can finally get this feature done!

[Staszek]

A quick teaser, still finishing up with adjustments, need to put the windows back in and fix a few more things. I will do a full shoot when it's done.

[Albie325]

Coming along nicely, can't wait to see all the bits put back together!

Base coat on the MT2, no clear yet.

Looking good 👍

Advice - flattening the finish to lose the peel is a long, hard road. And, once you start anything that is not blocked flat stands out like you wouldn't believe. A good, overall covering of OEM style peel is so much easier (and cheaper if you're not doing the work) :)

I am the worst with paint so I kind of know what you are talking about but not really:) I am paying someone to do it it so we will see how it turns out. It wasn't cheap lol. They are painting the MTech II kit now to install in the final rebuild.
