I also just noticed that you guys are in AL!

Would you mind if I popped by one weekend to check out the build?

**Edit Whoa! You guys are in AL. Oh I'm so stopping by to check out your build. I will kill two birds with one stone. Hit up little Talledega and also stop by to check out your build.

Do you guys build roll cages/bars?

Well maybe this one will be complete when you go to little Talledega and we can have some track fun.

Currently getting things together to completely rewire my '73 Honda CB500-4 and convert it to fuel injection.

Custom electrical work is extremely underrated.

We will be hiring a wiring specialist soon. If you're serious email me Chase@ChaseBays.com

We share similar interests. I'm searching for a bike to build a cafe racer and I have a KTM 640 Supermoto. I'd like to see the wiring on your bike and to hear more about your FI conversion. Carbs can suck it.

Haha you'd be surprised. I think all of us here are ADD, but we love what we do.

Not at all! The only issue is we have a seperate location of where we build our cars and where we do all other Chase Bays business things. So I just have to make sure we're there. What weekend were you thinking?

Chase Bays · 04-17-2013, 08:15 PM

Oh and this showed up.

Thank you to Ryan @ Nitrous Express for this. I have to say its pretty cool to be working with Nitrous Express. I can't wait to see the dyno and feel the butt dyno with this + Vortech Supercharger.

wow! awesome harness. thanks for sharing all of this, and awesome build.

YDNA · 04-21-2013, 09:23 AM

im interested as to why you guys went from kwv3s to buddyclubs. i was debating on if i should get them for a dd/weekend warrior or if i should go with GC. care to chime in? would these be way too stiff to run? i did run 13k/11k on my s2k when i had it, so i was wondering if this would be ride-able to dd

Can't comment yet since I haven't driven it, but we've run Buddy Club Coilovers in the past with great luck. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either.

We've got our engine harness prototype in motion. A huge issue with this is that the engine harness is integrated into the engine bay chassis harness. I'm not sure why Subaru did this, it certainly makes our job much more challenging.

The best design is the engine harness going straight to the ECU with a series of inline disconnects for the chassis functions. Everything we've worked on engine harness wise is like this. Minus Subaru WRX of course. It's very similar to this design. Figured they would have learned by now.

In order to achieve this straight to ECU design on this we had to completely rework the entire engine bay chassis harness, and it has been way too time consuming to offer to the public. Hopefully we can figure something out and offer an engine harness for the FR-S/BRZ.

Thanks for reading!

Next time I hear someone badmouthing Alabama and the cars we build here, I'm going to point them to this thread! Class work guys! Seems Huntsville doesn't have the ALL the engineers in the state!

Ryuu0u · 04-24-2013, 05:41 PM

Wow and I thought doing wire sheathing for a PC was tedious. That harness must have taken forever!

DarkCard · 04-24-2013, 06:45 PM

as always, top notch work, gret job

FR-S Neck · 04-24-2013, 07:11 PM

I now know who I want working on my car when the time comes.

*KID* · 04-25-2013, 02:05 AM

It's time consuming, we've got some sweet secrets that save us time. Learned only from the experience of doing it since 06'
