Completed.

Just need to get the car running now. Was hoping to do it tomorrow but weathers pretty ****e up here. Dad said it looked to be hanging around for the weekend shall see.

He's usually pretty good but he's currently making that call from 4.5hrs north of where I live so, hopefully its clear for me!

Hey Ben,

Cheers. No lol, hasn't made it off jack stands yet. Need to even up the camber on the rear as well before any serious driving.

- Work out wtf it wasn't running in the first place. Could be solder join related potentially. Anyone know if the stock ECU needs to be earthed? (i.e. does the stock brackets earth the case and thus the ecu?)

- Bolt everything up tight suspension wise and double check all suspension is the same height.

- Swap back to 2.5" exhaust or rotate the stock mid pipe 180 degrees as the shifter linkage is currently hitting it. (Swapped to stock exhaust as originally thought the cat in my 2.5" was shagged).
Update:
- Engine now turns over.
- Broken wiring for trigger two meant that only cylinders 1 and 4 were firing.

Build has suffered scope creep. Moving to a complete standalone installation, harness has been removed from the car. Will be checking all the solder joins tonight for broken wiring.

Then will proceed to wire everything up so that I can get idle control working, air con and power steering idle up and lastly get COPs going in direct fire.

Unsure. Broke at the solder join, most likely during relocation.
