Dana,

You should earn "914 Emerald Points" or similar. How many times have you moved that dream across the US? 3 or 4?

It looks great as usual.

Since 2008 when this project started, WRX transmissions have become common on conversion cars. Did you ever think of ditching the Kennedy adapter and 901 for a Subaru trans with a cable shifter?

Yes, I feel like that is all people want to talk about on this thread. Check out the previous page for my most recent answer to this question, or the page before that to see the previous time I answered this. A new tranny really isn't a priority right now.

No problem, just trying to get this thing on the road!

I installed the tranny to prove that I am embracing this inferior technology, at least for now.

Time to start wiring it up!

Kind of a shame to cover up all this fine art with body work.

Yea, It's a work of Art; it needs to go to a Museum. It's too clean to drive on a dirty road. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I had a couple people pm me asking about about tranny paint, this is the paint I am using throughout the car, I have found it to be very durable, and looks great.
It is available for aerosol and paint guns, I have used both on the car with good success.
Usually cheapest (but not cheap) directly from Eastwood.
Attached Image

To repaint the tranny I started by cleaning it with soft wire and fiber wheels.

Then premiered with Eastwood black primer.

Here are some higher quality images of the Alumablast finish, clear coating is optional, I chose not to.

How many cans of primer and aluma blast paint did it take to do your transaxle?

Thanks,

Steve

2 cans of each should be plenty, I did 2 coats of both primer and paint.

I am going to give the WRX fuel pump controller a shot, I didn't use it when I had the car running before, it delivers variable voltage to the pump based on engine need, and shuts the pump off after a couple seconds when the ignition is on and you haven't started the car.
Attached Image

Here it is installed, I also wired up the pump, As far as I can tell I think all of the wiring needed to start the car is done. Radiator and everything up front is wired as well. I will get some test runs under its belt then shorten the excess length out of harness and wrap everything. Eventually I will build a cover for all of this.
Attached Image

All of the dash wiring is good to go, and ignition and starter buttons are wired up for testing.
Attached Image

Looks like the chassis wiring is fairly done, here are the leftovers, nice to cull this amount of chaos and weight out of the car!
