I poked a couple of holes into this grommet and ran my amp cables through this after I put the manual in. Had the same problem that the only other hole in the engine way was now being used for a clutch cable.

Otherwise, congrats on a big job. Looks like its all come together well. :1syellow1

Default Update
UPDATE.
I have made the ECU think that the Auto is still there are that it is DRIVE! by fitting a 25kohm linea pot and also told it that the temp of the auto was "Fine" by fitting a 4.5kOHM resistor. (this stopped the thermo fans going flat out the whole time the car was on)

Parts total..........$1.80!!!!!

Now it idles fine and is a bit easier to drive in traffic.

The Project is comming together rather well, however i just got a ipod addaptor to fit my Pioneer head unit so 4gig of music at the touch of my hand!


oh yeah i have a secret of the next thing im doing........but thats a different story.

Enjoy

Hey Matt

Drew’s car is back in Brisbane and is feeling a lot better. I am sure he will tell you all about the wonderful (NOT) customer service he received from the friendly (NOT) team at Warwick Ford.

Great to see you online!

Cheers, Tori

Hi Matt

Weapon goes good. The GT is sitting on 19 inch wheels at the moment and she looks hotter then ever.

I am so glad you didn’t tell me about the menace Super Pursuit in your showroom… _ I am still waiting for my ute to arrive and the good news is that they reckon it will be yet another week. :( Sigh, I am so not patient. Is the one in your showroom a BF, if so I will scream…?

Cheers, Tori
