Waffle House: Oct 27, 2004; You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

HELL YEA

I was wondering when we�d get a Zzzap.

My god, you have an actual garage. And like...electricity, a hoist, and maybe running water.

Are those walls INSULATED? I�m insanely jealous. :thunk:

Why have I never thought of putting an I-beam and chain hoist over my loving lift. Genius.

Seriously, this setup is rad, I'm really excited to watch this unfold; this is something that I thought about when I picked my 1J, but nowwww....

A real treasure of this specimen is that uncracked-looking dash. That freeze-dried cheese foam is fun; so stale, so brittle.

I'll be the first to admit I'm not a clever man, but how come a Tesla can get away with an electric motor and a final drive with some ratio, but this build needs(?) the five speed?

Edit: It must be super weird to drive. I guess you can come to a full stop with clutch engaged in any gear. But can you start? Would you want to?

I mean why not? It's just a torque output. :shobon:

If you haven't already discovered it, this link is a TREASURE TROVE of wiring diagrams for the S30. I don't know which year your 280's chassis is, but they have ALL years:

Of course! I don't know how much use of it you'll make until you start converting the car's accoutrements and cabin lighting over to your new circuit, but powering the car's entire harness is pretty simple...it's like four wires, the old fusible link mains, and they're all together in a bundle.

Which sway bar did you get? Suspension Techniques?

Also droppin' a 5-vote on this fine S30 thread here.

This looks like it's coming along nicely. I can't remember what year your car is, but there's a Zzzap apperance package for the 1977 model year:

That is a fine Bosch-style relay bracket! I really need to bolt mine somewhere, they just kinda dangle behind my dash...
