i do travel interstate for some jobs

last year i went to perth for 5 days to wire up a 1uz toyota into a hilux

it takes about 5 days to wire up a cobra properly

these days i can buy the main body loom and make most of it a home depending on diagrams givin by customers of car layout

and also wire up engine too at home then when i go do the job its not as hard

so when i travel only exra charge will be travel time and maybe accomodation
if needed

but i do haev relos in brisbane and perth and melb so accomodation can be saved sometimes

i have wired up au2 and its not so hard cause i had the bcm and the key hidden under the dash

hopefully soon the software will do fords too so im not sure on price

holdens are about 300 at moment

i dont think u need to tune engine for no air or power steer

in the usa there is software to tune fords but its not cheap and u still need a flash tuner inbetween which i think stil makes it dear

anyway codes for ecus slowly get cracked and if there is demand it speeds things up



u just tune it for max power

u can buy flash units from cappa but theyre about 950

i have wiring looms at home so i can talk to the ecus on my bench and power them up just with a battery for both fords and holdens so once the ford software is out it will make things easy

if you have seen any recent magazines with a red wilys coup on cover i spent 10 days wiring that up

was a nightmare but turned out nice and neat

i got a 32 ford rod with a lexus v8 to do this thurs and fri up at toronto
so il be staying up there for few days

so im slowly doin more nice show cars from scratch to finish which is what io enjoy and the good thing is im always the last person to finish the wiring and i get to start the cars and when they start and rumble i get to see the smiles on their faces which is a good feeling
