so after a long wait and even longer conversation with jegs and painless it turns out the harness has been discontinued and I cant get it through them. So now ill just wire it up the hard way and use the refund to get more parts instead.

so its been a while since ive had a chance to work on the rex, had to rebuild the top end of the Range Rover, but after that nightmare I was able to focus on the 7 again and with a little wiring.... The ls1 roared to life! the open-header monster belched fire and came to life for a whole 3 seconds... then it shutdown. fired it up again and it roared to 2000!!! then shutdown again... did it 3 more times then triple checked all the wiring. I now belive that since the engine was removed from a firechicken the VATS was never disabled. So now its time to disable the security in the ECM and a couple other things while im in there...skip-shift...rear O2...purge...etc... After that we'll see if it will idle for more than a few seconds. The driveshaft, clutch master, and all lines will be in hopefully soon but if its anything like the last time I ordered from Hinson it'll probably be a month.

You need to hurry and get the car done and take it to a meet or cruise.

just got the driveshaft today! still waiting on clutch hydro though, hopefully that'll arrive in the next day or so.

Clutch parts arrived so now time for the installation. Should have everything finished and operational soon then its just the pcm flash.

nice, can't wait to see this driving on the streets

All the clutch parts are in and work great! BTW I dont know how much room is in the transmission tunnel of an F-body but when a t-56 is crammed into the chassis of an FC there isnt much room to bleed the slave cylinder... not much room for anything else either.
The master & res. fit nicely in the corner. It dose however have a MUCH stiffer pedal now.

Frank put a remote slave bleeder on his car that's really cool.

^Super Street said the previous owner did that LOL!!!

when the time comes to replace the clutch and slave i think i will make a remote bleeder just for simplicity.

yea i made the bleeder. probably my best mod!!! i couldn't bleed the clutch otherwise.
