Update 15

Posted On December 5, 2016

Well the time has come for the body to start being installed. I have been avoiding it! With my list getting smaller and smaller I plan to get the body installed this weekend/next week. I was hopping to get most of the interior in before the body but without the top on I can’t get the dashboard installed in the right spot. I plan to get the interior in after the body is all set up. But for now here is what I have done.

I managed to get my rear brace installed to clear the VF30 turbo. I was having issues with the bar clearing the waistgate arm so I cut a notch in the brace so that it would clear the turbo. I cut the notch and then sealed up the hole by welding it back together.

I was having issues with fuelcut because I deleted the VSS sensor(2014 WRX trans has no VSS for the trans). The Ej207 V7 ECU I guess does still require the VSS sensor. I picked up a MapDCCD wheel speed sensor that uses the OEM ABS sensors. I got the basic model(2 ABS sensor max) and am using 2 rear ABS sensors. I was going to put one in the front but for things like a dyno and such it may cause a reading error so I went with 2 in the rear. http://mapdccd.com/vss.html.

Started to assemble my head lights. I installed some LED lighting on the edge sense I really liked the look. It fits well but not OEM perfect by any means. Overall I am happy with the results. I bought 26in long lights and cut them tell I got the length need to fit correct. They light up both amber and white. I plan to have them blink amber for my turn signal.
