how many babies has your car killed so far?

**Fuster_Cluck** · 12-26-2007, 06:17 PM

I want to say once again thanks for the kind words in this thread!!

With that being said, I came up with an idea to try and get some footage up for you guys. Hell, I want to see her on the web

I don't know why it's taken me a damn month to think of this, but it worked. Basically I played the video on my tv through the camcorder and recorder the footage using my digital camera on the tripod. Not the best quality, but it definitely looks better than many many night races I've seen on youtube. So, it's uploading as I type this and I'll be posting the link as soon as youtube has it ready

Looking forward to your comments and feedback on how to make the next couple of vids even better. This is my first ever video edit so go easy

Also, when the hatch is back up in February all footage will be filmed with a HD camera. So, the quality and hopefully the editing will get better as time goes on. Thanks again to you all for making this project as fun as it could of been. It's far from over though. She's tore apart right now and I'll be posting those pics in the near future. Not to forget either some internals or boost in 2008

Well, if no one does then I'll do it again with my next project. May be this year or it could be 5 or 10 years from now. I will build another car again. What car is unknown though. Thanks for the props

Not yet. May not happen until end of this year or next year now. Unfortunately I have other things in life I have to take care of that require $$$$ on a monthly basis

But, if I sell my house it could happen in the Summer

Hahahaha...... yeah, I spend about 80% of the time driving her in vtec

Thanks guys for the props and posts

Ok, so I've held out for a while and need to give you guys a heads up on what's been going on.

The car has been down for 3 months now and I haven't really done much

Removed wiring not needed, wire tuck, relocate of some things, HIDs, new fuel rail.... yada yada yada.... which will all be completed by 2 weeks.

I decided on the spot for the ECU:

The brackets that will hold the ECU to the firewall:

I will line the ECU and/or brackets with either dynomat or some Lowe's carpet sample

to dampen the vibration / keep the ECU in place.....

BTW > That is when the brackets were bent to fit. I did make even them out, rounded all the edges, and painted them flat black. I also fabbed a little "U" bracket that sits where the stock cabin harness runs to hold the cabin harness in place

I still have pics from before the show to post. Not many, but I will be posting them next....

Stay tuned for more to come.....

She'll be at the ATL dragway for the Nopi race / show at the end of March

Hope to see you guys there as well

I'd use adhesive backed foam rubber on the brackets, ie: weather stripping.

Yeah, I'll just have to get down under the dash to get the ECU. No biggie. I will also have to get underneath to the ECU to plug in the cable to datalog.

**Hondatypr636** · 03-02-2008, 11:27 PM

wow i cant stop reading this thread. awsome EG. its a beautiful car and great way of sharing your progress with all of us. cant wait to read more

^hell yeah man. hell yeah.

**NAIZBST** · 03-03-2008, 04:02 PM

always enjoyed reading your buildup....

**.blank cd** · 03-04-2008, 01:57 AM

why dont you do somethin like this and set the ECU on the floor:

**EJ6** · 03-04-2008, 02:29 AM

that look dumb imo

**Fuster_Cluck** · 03-05-2008, 04:55 PM

It appears that ECU is mounted right in the bend of the passengers floorboard. Also right on top of the floor mat. I am confused why someone would want the ECU in the center of the floorboard for dirt and feet to hit

Maybe it's for bragging rights as the ECU even has the "HONDATA" sticker on it.

I'd prefer to keep things hidden and let the car moving do the talking or bragging

To each his own though and thanks to whoever mentioned the weather stripping to line the brackets. It's going to that or dynomat

More to come.....

**Timinater** · 03-05-2008, 03:24 PM

**Hondatypr636** · 03-05-2008, 05:02 PM

**Fuster_Cluck** · 03-05-2008, 05:33 PM
