Spaz lost hope on Ivy

They do make one for the 8th gens. I been eyeing it and now that video just sold me on one. Looks so nice. It's definitely on my mod list. Just a little pricy, but what isn't when it comes to quality parts.

That's right man. Quality costs money. And nice video [MENTION=28]Spaz[/MENTION]

Where to begin.......

Installed my passenger side hub and strut



Then decided ok I'm going to run all of my battery cables today... So to start I began with focusing on the fuse box and the starter/Alternator lines
This is where I went into the car from the bay


Started running line inside


From the inside


Brought the lines through my grommets and past the radiator


Connected starter and alternator leads


Then modified the factory connector so I could complete my fuse box. Put it in a vise


Then opened it up


Put my new cable in it and secured it


Also ran up the alternator wire


Now test fit them both



Now time to connect them to my battery line. I'm running a 2 gauge and split it. Mounted my splitter


Installed my lines


Boom tucked away



Found my sway bar installed that





Also installed my Hybrid Racing fuel gauge and mounted the old one on the FPR since I had it




and just for fun my radiator hose

And then decided to redo my EPS harness since everything else was redone.. here is the mess I started with


Took off all the loom and tape


Separated power and ground from the loom so I can run separately and depinned power wire


Now make sure you write the pins down.. but de-pinned the plugs





And then made my own loom and put back together. Much cleaner




Installed the new lines



Im' still trying to figure out where I'm going to remount my computer for the EPS so I haven't ran the power wire yet.

[PetefromtheStreets]

Looks great man. Now I'm curious where you get that wire loom from?

Nice updates, figuring out where to mount things is such a PITA sometimes.

[Spaz]

man I am spent.... I literally put the rear panels in and out like 50+ times trying to put it all back together....


So I am putting my battery back in the trunk. So today my goal was to mount it and start putting the interior back together... I was getting so frustrated there aren't a lot of photos.

Ran the line to the back and secured it



Bought this battery tray. But it's not level where I want to instal it. So of course I started making a bracket.


this wasn't working fully


So I welded a bottom lol



Then put it in place in the car and drilled the mount holes



And installed a brace washer underneath


Then started putting all of my bars and interior together.






And my poor front seats lol

So interior wiring is around 90% finish thank god... my fingers can't take these little clips and shit anymore....

So my big issue was this big fucking wrap my buddy put on the harness. I couldn't get the harness to fit for shit because of it...


So I hacked away at it and started cutting it out



And removed it completely to expose the wiring which gave me a lot more room to work with!


Since it's a tucked harness I just wrapped it back up with electrical tape...



But god damn did it make my life easier!!! Now I ran the harness to the other side for the fuse box


and out the top


Boom finished with fuse box!



Then decided I was going to tuck away my EPS module in the center console



Re did the power pin but haven't full finished so I'll leave off here







But also..... does anyone know what connector this is that has nothing plugged into it lol I cannot remember! (bottom blue one)

I'll take a look tonight and let you know what I've got there if anything.

[Spaz]

So I finished wiring up my EPS.... put my new power line in the connector and ran it to the module





and put on my new ground



Ran my O2 harness through the cables slot


and plug it in


I then made a new piece for my EPS loom


added a grommet


Then installed



Painted silver with my AC delete cover


Then finished off my interior... some of you will hate it.. but I was sick of all the mis matched off colors... so I painted all the bars SSM which I'm extremely happy with! I think it's super clean and more subtle... some loved the stand out of the blue but I didn't like all the different shades and colors







all finished

Interior looks great!
