Slowly modifying the body harness (don't want to F up something), thank god Mazda provided detailed wiring diagrams on the net or I would be F'd. Anyways, removed and moved relays, modified the front relay box to house less relays, (Another plastic welder product). Just need to make a new mounting frame for the relay box where the fan relays used to be.

The Spal fan controller box will be mounted on the same frame. Picking it up Monday. Looks like the wiring I saved from the original setup will be used for this controller.

The quick disconnect plug will be using for the battery relay box I will be moving with the Battery. The plug will be placed where there is an unused orifice on the driver side firewall. Need to cut grooves for the prongs and it will slip right in.

Completed wiring the new front relay box and started integrating the new Spal fan controller. I'm also integrating a removable secondary relay for a potential second fan if it looks like I need it.

Today finish that up and start working on the battery relay box relocation and what not.

Got a little stuff done today, started setting up the external kill switch. 

Wish I had just put the kill switch next to the battery. Would have saved a lot of weight.

Started putting body plug on and couldn't for life of me find or remember if the holes I covered with aluminum tape had plugs or not. Oh well. Started to also put the battery and fuse block in, need to get some special hardware to finish the battery install.

With the assistance of Bobbo and Spider things have started rolling at a faster pace.

Setup of the firewall plug is nearly complete, had to double up on a few wires, but no big D.

Spider started greasing the Delrin bushings, replace my worn-out steering end-links and putting new dust seals on the upper A-arm. Though I need to either buy or borrow the tool necessary to instal the new bust boot clips.

Bobbo, cut out my rear brake shields for preparation of my new BBK I'm getting. FD New Brake Options Re-reinstall my diff and put half shafts on.

Oh and I got the GZ Secondary Fuel rail (1 of 4 available for sale at GZ). After talking with Frank at GZ and a few other experienced tuners, I may run four 1600cc or four 1000cc injectors for secondaries running two injectors in series. That way I would utilize all the GZ injector ports and I wouldn't need to integrate a resistor. 550cc side feeds would be used on the primary rail for good low idle smoothness. Overkill on fuel, but it would actually turn out to be easier in the long run with my future single turbo setup. Stay tuned.
