It is when you have to pull the dash and everything else out, remove whats in there and put in the other harness.

well you didnt have to remove the air bag( sucks!) or the 3 clips up by the windsheild( sucks!) you didnt have to fish the monster harness through the fire wall and most the shit on the roll over was missing. plus i have to be carefull cus this has to run and drive when im done.. but yess for a novice you impressed the shit out of me on how quick you were.

did some work today and i just need to find out how diff the hanger for the right side shaft is from the zx3 i think it needs to be shifted to the left 1/4 inch and out 1/8 inch but its hooked up and ready to fire this week end i have a few more small things to do( like reassemble the inter.
