Rudy, you are the man. Wish I was still working and wasn't worried about my tires, I would burn them up too.

Rudy, your SC is looking great on that lift next to the 911 and S4! Love the stock color with those wheels and the SC400 front lip.

RIP your old rear tires, lol!

It's a game changer man! The only downside is the constant urge to perform hood rat activities LOL!

Thanks man! I'm really going for a bit of an 80's Japanese/Shakotan/American muscle mixup with that thing. Glad you guys get a kick out of it!

Well... It finally happened... I sized up the front tires on my car because I went a little too thin originally and hated the bit of stretch. However, I've yet to ever relocate the driver side wiring harness in the wheel well and finally chewed through it. Hit a bump the other day and everything went dead... EVERYTHING. LOL. I've had two of these cars, both lowered, and never managed to mess that harness up. I knew this was coming - definitely deserved lol but I'm DREADING fixing it. I'm going to get the car up on jack stands this weekend, raise the coilovers some more, and evaluate the damage. I'm contemplating towing it over to a friend's shop where he's done excellent wiring work for me in the past. I'll do damn near anything in my own driveway... However, I despise doing wiring jobs lol. It's just so tedious and the reward is never quite a thrill for me to say the least.

Here's a pic just cuz lol.

Just re-went through your build thread and damn it gives me some motivation. Did I read that you were still W58? Really nice car I can't wait to get mine on the track.

Hey Rudy, they say a confession is good for the soul, but this one makes me feel your pain even though you seem to be taking it like a man. I hate to admit it but I have not rerouted my harness yet, but it will be done shortly. This should be a good wake up call for all of those (like myself) that have put off relocating their harness.

Joe - thank you very much! The car has treated me well over all after the swap with a few hiccups along the way. I'm still rocking my W58 and so far it has held up surprisingly well considering the clutch drops and donuts that take place lol.

Bill ain't that the truth? I've seen guys post about it several times on this forum and always thought I'd sneak under the radar and get lucky LOL! I need to look up a few DIY's on here and see which route I want to take.

Rudy, keep me informed about which way you go and I will follow in your tracks. I have got to do this, I am tired of trying not to think about it. It has got to be done ASAP.

Bill - most certainly! I'm not sure if I'll dive in this weekend but I'm at least going to get it up off the ground, take a look, and start planning my approach. If you look in the master DIY thread about relocating it (it's in the SC DIY sticky area on the forum) they mention that it can be unplugged from the back of the fuse box in the driver foot well and run through the engine bay, then plugged back in. I'll probably do this in combination with fixing whatever wires are broken. If your car isn't lowered too much and doesn't ever rub I wouldn't worry about it. Otherwise, I definitely recommend it as you can see where it's left me LOL.
