Eric's Mirage Update

     Here is a minor update on Eric's Mirage.  As there is a ton of work yet to go, things are just getting started.  First are some pictures of where she began, and some of the wiring damage done to her by merrill performance.

Some of the Wiring Damage

Massive Air leak at the Intake Manifold (Black Soot is Where it was Leaking From No Gasket)

    Now, these are just a very few of the items that were done with a lack of care or concern when performed by merrill performance (supposedly a performance shop, but I don't believe it carries a legal license to operate).  I also had a shady intake installed, an oversixed throttle body too large for the manifold (mani. was not properly bored), and the coilovers were installed wrong just to name a few.

     Now, the rebuild process.  The first and largest task is the wiring.  In an attempt to perform a "wire-tuck" the harness was all but ruined.  I have rewired the majority of the harness so far, and have approximately another 10-12 hours of wiring to go.  I am yet to repair the fuel injector wiring as well as the feeds to the coil packs, which both of those will be done by this weekend.  Then the next will be re-mounting the fuse box back to it's oe location.  As far as additional wiring goes, the only needed item is wiring in the AFR (narrow band ) gauge.  Here are a few pictures of the updated wiring as of this past weekend.

More to come as it's a fast work in progress.
