Yes, it won’t be totally square. I would have to move the right rear wheel well rearward to make it totally square and not sure I want to do that. For a road car it probably doesn’t matter much. Once these cars are on the road, haven’t heard a single builder complain the car doesn’t drive straight. If I was road racing the car I might do things differently.

Thanks Ken!

Thanks Ken! I tend to overthink some things which eats up a lot of time, but when it comes out good it is very satisfying.

Thanks Murray!

I appreciate it!

Thanks for the compliment, this is a one and done project. I just hope I finish this one!

@@JoelKSLC I don’t blame you looks a little complicated 👍

@nottherealjk Thanks for the compliments. It’s a real brain teaser on how to package everything up and keep it organized and serviceable.

@josh-hr5mc Appreciate it!

@lunavil Thanks, appreciate it!

Thanks for watching. Not a bad approach, get it on the road as quick as possible.

Temporary solutions tend to get permanent unfortunatly.

​@@IngeBallyeah thats true. I don't mean temporary tho, I would say build something that 100% works even if it ain't pretty is what I meant. Perfection is the enemy of progress. No build is ever finished anyway 😆 theres always something to do. They evolve with time 😎👍

@@UKBUILT No, they're never finished 😂 Cheers mate 👍

@UKBuilt, Thanks! You have a build thread, I’d love to check it out!

@@JoelKSLC Hey, I am documenting my build in video form on my channel 😎 thanks 👍

@RA-uj3m Thanks!

@carbonfiber8071, absolutely. The trans cables are already wrapped.

Hi, it’s a hydraulic clutch. There is a hydraulic throw out bearing in the transaxle which disengages the clutch when you press the clutch pedal,

@@JoelKSLC thank you made it very simple to understand. Your car is wild. Hope you finish it soon.

@@The007craig Thanks, a ton of work but getting there.

Most definitely! That would be nice!

It should be pretty straightforward to set up. Good luck!

Thanks Greg!

Thanks for the support! I throughly enjoyed your EV build and watching you solve problem after problem.

Oui merci Jean Philippe!

Thanks HI! Looking to start it up this fall.

@highlanderc going to control it with the PDM once I understand the pin assignments on the booster vacuum sensor.

Thanks @hammer_2.2 I haven’t messed with arduino, but looks like you can automate so many things with them. If I ever do another build which is unlikely I’d like to get into arduino, 3D printing, and maybe one of the open source auto dash systems.

Thanks!

@Hammer_2.2 , thanks. I didn’t know hella made a latching relay. I combined the timer and latching relay into a nice little project box. The latching relay I did find also consumes zero current when set or reset.

Thank you! 👍

LOL, she was on a cruise with my daughter. The kitchen looked like a bomb went off within 24 hours!

Thanks Mason! How is your build coming along?

Thanks 👍

Thanks Mason, the electrical has been my favorite aspect of the build so far. Keep up the great work as well on your build.

That Yellow LT5 is up for sale, it’s quite the car!

@SeanObryanZZ Thanks, glad you like it.

Thanks, appreciate the kind words. It’s been quite the journey and looking to fire it up and drive the chassis in the summer.

@nfox4051 Like everything new, just have to break it down and go slowly.

@buzdrift Thanks for watching and appreciate the positive feedback. I’m planning to have some video updates soon.

@@JoelKSLCVery keen to see the updates, I always wondered how my PDM and ECU would behave and cooperate with the T13, I have the same PDM, but I'm running the Nexus R5 as well!

@BUZDRIFT This would have been far easier if the Compustar had a ground or battery signal when disarmed, but needed to add the latching relay to do the reverse while consuming no additional power when armed.

@@JoelKSLCYeah, saw that, a truly valuable bit of info for sure!

@KVX21 Thanks, appreciate it.

@jbdaytona7853 This vacuum sensor is three wire. A 5V power, ground, and signal. The signal goes to the pdm and the pdm turns on off the vacuum pump. I’ve seen two wire ones where one wire goes to ground and the other goes to the relay to turn the pump,on.

Hi and thanks for watching. No, just a hobby for me.

Welcome back Al!

@skatademirlidag That would be a lot more work, the steering rack is manual and custom built for this car. So you would need to fit in a new steering rack. Then you have the challenge of adding a power steering oil pump on the engine. So that would require engineering and fitting that into an already tight engine bay. This is far easier and I like the feel of the EPAS over hydraulic.

Thanks for asking. Busy working on a bunch of small chassis items and electrical. Not the most interesting things to cover in detail on video. Should have a winter update pretty soon.

Hi Dubble, I don’t plan on using the remote start capability. The Compustar will be used for door locks and powering up the PDM when I get in the car. I could easily have just wired in an IGN/Power switch but want it like an OEM street car. The other thing is, this will primarily be a street car.

@@JoelKSLC That's awesome a aim pdm in a street car! 🤣 Did you build your harness yourself or order one up? I'm looking to switch from switches and relays to the PDM when I do my roll cage install.

@@dubbleA100 I purchased the AIM harness although it is pretty expensive for what it is. That gives you a starting point with all the wires pinned, but making that from scratch is not too hard. If you are looking for a heavy duty racing harness ready to go with connectors already attached take a look at the AIM harness made by trailbrake.com

@@JoelKSLC I'll take a look, I'm planning on doing a full chassis and engine club level harness with a little bit of pro stuff. Might do a few firewall bulkheads and some Tefzel wire. We'll see how far it scope creeps haha. I'm integrating a BMW ABS setup as well. I was also going to ask if you found boots to seal up the back of the AIM connectors, they're really big and since you bought their harness I'm assuming you didn't do that. Edit: oh I forgot about trailbrake, do you have their Tire pressure sensors?

That sounds like a fun project. Wasn’t planning on boots since my PDM will be in the passenger compartment and really didn’t think about it. One thing about installing boots, if you want to de-pin something and modify down the road you would need to cut the boot off. I haven’t purchased the TPMS system yet, but planning on the trailbrake system with the external sensors. I already have my tires mounted and don’t want to pay to have the tires removed and rebalanced.

Thanks! Hard to believe this was over 4 years ago.
