Just the one picture is uploaded at present. It is somewhat bigger as shown within my galley of pictures. I will take some higher quality ones over the next week or so and upload.

Volk GT-P which are 18x9 with +12 offset on all 4:

Rich's Performance Muffler in Wylie, TX. He built out my 3" mandrel exhaust for my LSx swap. Very good work.

I have not done anything special other than disconnect from battery. The only time that I have disconnected the harness from the PCM is when I was welding something on the car. Even then I have had no problems.

I rewired my 280Z LS1 Build with a complete (entire car, not just engine harness) 2002 TransAM wiring harness. I am using the 2002 TransAm Fuel tank too thus the TransAM wiring allowed for OEM functionality of the purge/vent system. I gutted all the original 280Z fuel vapor cannisters and just capped the filler neck vent line connection. No issues with any fuel vapor smell.

I installed a steering column out of a 2002 TransAm. It is a tilt column but not telescopic. It had what is called a Double D column connection. I ended up rerouting the entire steering linkage set up along the top of the frame rail and then dropping down into the subaru PS rack. I transitioned from the Double D end of the steering column to a splined set up. I utilized a vibration isolator, several ujoints, and two radial bearings to prevent looping in the steering shart.

Well I searched figuring this question has been asked prior however I did not find an answer. Does anyone know where this type Air Dam can be purchased? Air Dam

I replaced the entire car wiring harness with that of a 2002 TransAM wiring harness. It took considerable effort to identify all the circuits but with wiring diagrams it can be done. I now have VATS enabled, Power accessories and a possible future modification to ABS and Traction control. I did have to replace the steering column, and fuel tank with that of the TransAm too. If anyone desires to do such as I have done make sure that the steering column includes the key and matching body control module or BCM. With the VATS system the BCM reads the key resistance chip then sends a signal allowing the starter solenoid and fuel pump to operate. Once started the PCM must read a passcode from the BCM to keep the fuel pump in operation. Its all complex but interesting to learn about.

As much as I dont want to, I need to remove myself from the header build list. I installed a Subaru PS rack along with a TransAm steering shaft. I routed all of my steering linkages straight down and atop the drivers side frame rail. After looking at the pictures I have little doubt that I will have interference issues between the steering linkages and the header tubes as they loop out and over the frame rail. I will just utilize the block huggers that I have currently installed. My 1978 LSx 280Z is off to the exhaust shop monday for a 3" mandrel bent exhaust. Once installed the car will be brought to LG Motorsports in Wylie, TX for a dyno tune. I will snap some pictures and post once the exhaust is complete! Sorry I could not follow through with this.

Whats the latest on the Prototypes?

Can you give us any update as the protype progress. thanks

You know my layout better than I do! I probably spent 60 hours identifiying all the circuits, and then modifying and mounting fuse/relay blocks in the engine compartment. The interior harness and the under hood harness along with the engine harness all connect to the PCM. It may not be necessary for your installation but it was for mine.

Same harness as in the entire 2002 TransAm under hood harness, interior harness, and engine harnesses? Including all fuse blocks? Where did you mount the connectors that mates the under hood harness to the interior harness? You know the 3 inch square one that has 10's of connectores that mate underhood with the interior. When the entire car harness is used the process of locating the PCM inside is greately increased.

I mounted the PCM right next to the Battery. However I am using an entire car wiring harness from a 2002 TransAM thus my PCM location was determined more by the harness layout.
