Did your stuff arrive yet? That Nigel-jdmparts vendor says they wont even receive the harnesses til late next week, so I won't even get my harness til probably two weeks from now. I should have just ordered off amazon. lol.

How are you planning to rig yours up? Using a stalk?

Haven't received them yet... just got an email that they shipped from Japan a couple days ago, so I expect another week or so before they arrive.

I haven't planned the switch yet... might do the stalk, waiting to see the DIY first.

Picked up some steering rack bushings. I don't have a clue when I'll be free but I would love to come shoot the shit, drink some beers and install these babies.

Hey Zane! I think we already installed a set of those on @stockysnail's car and they were easy. Maybe he can chime in and remind me... I remember pulling the rack down, but can't remember if we actually replaced those or if we needed a press.

I read you only need a c-clamp and a socket or pipe to press them out. Hopefully that is the case.

No Darren we didn't install them that day. I installed them at my place however. I used a 2 jaw clamp from Harbor Frieght. It would be easier with your life however, but it still takes a little time as the clamp had a tendency of slipping off, but it worked really well. I think it was the 8" 2 jaw clamp that I used. Nothing really needs to be done aside from taking the bolts out and using the clamp to push out the old bushings.

Here's a good DIY tutorial that I used to get a good idea.

OK, I have an assortment of clamps in my toolbox, so hopefully it is easy.

you just need an H11 harness. tons on ebay/amazon. i decided to go through nigel-jdmparts on here, but it seems like he just orders them from somewhere else too. says he won't get them til late this week, so i won't even see the harness til probably next week. should have gone with amazon, i would have been rolling with fogs for a week now.

I want to see how they look on an asphalt! Also, let me know how the wiring goes. That part makes me nervous.

Evan (tech4pdx) car is orange. Did you vinyl wrap it black too. I think you meant someone else. At least I thought it was orange. Maybe I'm going senile in my old age.
