YES......but I am getting some flak from the guys. "its not a race car....why move it....you are adding weight in wire...bla bla" But yes, I think I will since it isn't that tough really.
I think I will pull the spare and make a place for it.

yes....but then I would loose trunk space....or wait.....i guess there is just as much room over there (behind the carpet) as on the drivers side huh........DUH, and it would counter-wiegh the driver. What about the antenna and gas filler being in the way?
Damn....guess I should have put more thought into it huh :) Either way, I should ask you guys about it since I am sure more than just Dis has reloceted the battery.
Thanks Re-mark!!

SVO booster/MC combo has arrived at Napa today
VHT paint arrived today (short one can of clearcoat.....solution pending)
MM Brake lines due Friday.
Thursday night it is suppose to rain it ass off....might not pull the car in. It will give me a chance however to clean/prep the heads/rotors/spindles/headers..ect. for paint or powdercoat. You know...this job really sucks!! cleaning and prepping takes more time than anything...I need my own mexican for this shit!

Last night I test fit the SVO Booster/MC. Looks quite nice. I will paint it black and polish the aluminum MC with a black cap. I don't want to paint it red like I will the other engine stuff as I don't want to draw attention to the brake system .... I think they look funy when all fancied up.
Top veiw...nice pic of how much room you get!
Peddel engagment - lets just say - FUCKING PERFECT!
I did all this test work BEFORE I rerouted some wires, pulled clips, tore tap, stretched hoses...bla bla. This is what the bay looked like before I left for the night.
Note: a) Rerout of crash sensor wires to fenders on Pass side
b) adjusted Coil
c) remove smog stuff
d) rerout air suspension wires/hoses (not complete yet)
e) remove ABS sensor wires
f) rerout several loom mounts and power wires
I will now post a thread about what to get rid of...since I have no clue!

Cleaned up a little more this weekend.
Relocated pump relays and rerouted some wires
tossed the ABS relays and mounted the MAP different.

Cut the useless wires and coated them with liquid tape before bundeling them up.

If you want to sell those wheel well moldings let me know.
I have some wheel well mouldins from the MKVII I killed. I'll have to take a look at them to make sure they are okay.
Also is it possible to relocate the air pump to the drive fenderwell if you still have factory cruise control?

I would say yes.....but you might have to manipulate the position of both. I thought all this moving and shuffeling would take alot of work and had to be correct....but no, just cut hack, reroute, move, bend, CREATE places for shit to go. Hell - removeing the ABS gives you more room than you think just in wire looms!

Got the 93 Cobra intake, 3/8" spacer, gaskets, 70mm BBK TB, Double roller timing chain, gaskets, high flow Water pump and READY for some prep work!!!! Excited....but have other stuff to deal with first - not too mention the cleaning/painting/prep still before I hack into it...guess the complete brake conversion will still have to wait. Still yet to fix the rad supprot also.

FWIW, When i cut the abs bullshit harness right out, i dipped the ends of all the wires in liquid electrical tape (3 times) Its much cleaner and easier to work with then foldingover, wrapping, capping off wires, etc. Just something to think about.

Last night was the first time i really used the brakes abov 50 mph...i think it slowed down better from 110- 50 then it did when the abs was still in the car. It such a nice feeling... like your in sync with the brake system. :yes:

So....what you are saying is......you're a COPY CAT :D
Good job fluffy!
Hell, if it wasn't for me dirrecting you torwards my threads you would still be bitching about your ABS system :) Glad it is working out for you....I am short on daylight for most of my projects, so it take a while to get anything done. But your brake adapter post will hopfully get me a little further.
Remark....keep looking back...On firday I will have MORE PICS MORE PICS MORE PICS!
