Summer is here, and I've started working diligently on my car. After a long time of letting her sit dormant (school and work) I can finally break into her. Tire fitment is priority numer UNO...


In order to fit these...

I had to do this...

Which lead to about 2.5 hours of soldering (DONT DO IT THIS WAY-remove dash)

Which lead to a nice (sorta) clean harness...

I'm going widebody front and rear, so I got happy with my grider...

Last but not least, I'm tired of my bucket o' bolts ride. I know i'm not as X-TREME with my bare floor and gutted interior, but a full cabin of B-Quite will be sweet!!!

Looking good. I just don't like how you cut the harness in one spot.

Nice choice with the tire size. I thought i was going big with 255/45 on 17s but you showed me.

:eek: You might have heard the age old saying "The bigger the glob the better the job" well, it's really not true. Here are some useful tips (http://www.elexp.com/t_solder.htm) for next time should the need arise.

All in all it looks like your project is really starting to shape up, best of luck to you!

yeah, i'm a complete n00b at soldering. i wishing i hadnt cut it in one place either...and yea its a little sloppy...but the tire clearance is worth it (just wish i did a better job)
