yes I do.. Im replacing the EMS and custom harness for an stock and piggy back set up.
Tech 2 Motorsports Totally *****ed up my custom harness. wired my coilpacks and injectors in random orders. Grounded power wires and vice versa. and to top it off they use all black wires to stop anyone from "copying" there wiring. wich disables me from fixing the damn thing.
It has Blown a Stand alone ECU, Stock ecu, and a tuned ecu. before we knew what was happening.
but dispite all the bad luck, and all the $$$ lost... its at the shop being simplified in order to run proper.
Its been almost 9 month since ive messed with her. but drift events are starting up soon so gotta get back on it
here is where i left off

For the A/C repair, I found a leak in the evaporator core in the dash. The trac system had to be removed to get to it. I went ahead and replaced the expansion valve, the core, new receiver/dryer and and a newly rebuilt compressor. It lasted 2 weeks then the compressor went out. Had to pull it out again and send it back to Texas, under warranty. The installation is straight forward.. To remove the compressor:
Remove the battery.
Remove the battery tray.
Disconnect the high pressure, then low pressure side hoses.
Disconnect the 3 sensors, 2 on top, one under compressor. You wont see this one until you start to pull the compressor out.
Remove the front small bracket, it has 2 bolts, size 10mm, one of these bolts has a sensor attached.
Unscrew the 2 small phillips head screws on top of the compressor, behind the bracket.
Remove the 3 bolts, 2 on top, one under the car, size 14mm
For the receiver/dryer:
Have to remove the front driver side headlight! Right directly under it.
I believe these are order, pretty straight forward. The dealer may have a rebuild kit. I know www.lextreme.com has the rebuild assembly instructions for the front seal. This is where mine was leaking. I hope this helps you out!

Honestly, do what my husband does with his other drift car, go to home depot, get 50$ worth of satin black spray paint. Wet sand the whole car down, then take your time and paint the thing yourself, Then lightly wet-sand it, and rinse.... it will look stealthy and you never have to worry about chipping paint, just carry an extra spray can with you and you can do touch up's on the spot.
This can at least hold you over till the Real thing
