Loving the build, but why did you keep the heater box?

Took the factory air box and took out everything but the heater core and sealed it so it only blows air to the defrost/defog

Looking good!

@JZXjunky the heater box is still in there because I need defrost, there have been some events that we've had where it's raining and like 5above zero haha, you need the defogger so you can see out the window. Plus I like to street drive my cars!


@Verdana It was more less making it wider on the left side, didn't need to cut out much at the top but more on the left side. And the painless kit is pretty painfull haha, I'm just good with wiring from installing remote car starters for years before. And I was able to pin out all the stuff pretty easily, but we will see what happens when I add power to it haha.

O this car is getting a big stereo too!

all good, i was quoting you for Snoopz

Looking forward to seeing that kit on there. Is it the new bumper version one? Did you get the new Vertex fenders also?

[snoopz]

Oh, I didn't read that bit I just looked at pics ahah. Fair call, I'm not going to be running one and I've never had a situation where I've needed one. Plus I've already welded up the holes.

What wiring loom did you end up getting ? The 18 circuit or 12 circuit ?

From the box, it looks like 12 circuit.


Nice build man, coming along well! cant wait to see the kind of power you'll be pulling!

Oooops I meant to go @ Snoopz, and thanks JZXjunky. Posting from work so I tried to make my posts quick haha


@Snoopz it is the 12 circuit, and I'm adding a bunch of relays to the set up along with an extra fuse panel just for the extra relays for the front power windows and such. And the loom I bought from a local electronic supply store, braided non split. Not sure of the brand.

@jayzedex100 I just did the front and rear full bumpers, and have my same Vertex side skirts from my last car. Did not go with the fenders, just wasn't in the budget this year, maybe next?


Thanks for the good words guys! Can't wait till it's done, mid April it will be running/driving!!!

Biggest headache will be the headers, looking like we will need to build our own custom ones

[snoopz]

V8's weren't meant for the JZX, I'm liking the build and the speed of it!

I'm probably just going to get the 18circuit, so it's a bit easier.
