If anyone Is curious alot of progress has been made this last week (sort of). Pulled and fused all the wires for my harness/splitter and the switches. was bout to wire in my EL wire when I In inadvertently blew my invert er (needs a diode to prevent this IMO). Bought a custom license plate cover and started to dig into the painting projects. With christmas coming up I feel i should be spending some money on others, but these lights are coming soon!

Replaced coolant elbows with zzp aluminium ones. To anyone who's putting this off I sugest doing it. Don't even screw around with the plastic ones. They are all POS' these were not the factort elbows and look at how they came out.

I had to fish around in the engine and eventually blow a hose in it to push a small piece out of the upper one.

Also came with some cool zzp decals. So I decided why not. One on each side and the rear window.

Here's an update on my project. I found a small pool of oil and some leakage near the rear valve cover, I'm going to pull these and replace the Gaskets so i figured, Hey why not paint them while im at it? Also after some conversation with other members I'm going to do the LIM gasket as well as all the upper intake gaskets. This will Set back My LED's till at least Christmas time. But doing them Myself this shouldn't cost me more than $200. Over all Red is running and looking good. just some preventative maintenance to save me headaches in the future.

I got a set of those switches, too! in red though. Since my plans for the Purge Kit fell through I don't have a clue what to use them for anymore!

These lights were supposed to be blue, but I'm tired of returbing things and the look good. When I do my write up for the power supply itl give you an idea of how I wired them I'm. I'm just using them to toggle power to things. And they are quick disconect so I can swap what powers what. Some ideas are an exhaust cutout, led underglow and engine bay lighting. Also a knight rider storbe kit.
