Does anyone here have any picture examples of locations on the firewall they've run a circular bulkhead connector like the Corsair/Amphenol units commonly referred to as "milspec", or Deutsch AS connectors? After looking around a few times, it seems like all of the good space is right behind the ABS module, but with no room to connect and disconnect them as it's pretty tight? Anyone have any other ideas on a car that will retain AC and heat?

I’ve only just got my 2 connectors (47 pin deutsch) so haven’t done it yet but my plan is to replace the factory grommet with one and putting another one just below the brake booster on the drivers side.  I’m running drive by wire so will need extra wiring in that area so makes sense to relocate some of the wiring across that side at the same time.  My aim is to have no wiring across the back of the firewall at all (would like to take coil wiring across to drivers side loom as well) but we’ll see what happens….

I'm on mobile now, so I can't see my profile. I thought I had it on there, but if I don't it's an ENR34.

 

Looking to run 3 circular connectors. I was thinking someone may have utilized some space on the lower portion of the firewall that's not incredibly obvious from above.

      Should you buy cheap Chinese tyres?

      By admS15 · Posted

      Agree with Bogan bloke above. I like running quality tyres on my street driven cars. Wife's daily as well as my daily have Michelin PS4, good tyre that does everything you'd expect without fuss and reasonably priced for popular sizes that aren't enormous. Skyline had Yokohama on it for many years but have recently fitted zestino tyres. Just did a quick Google and they're actually Chinese made (jap designed apparently). Surprisingly they grip really well, wet and dry and haven't died, YET. Obviously on the higher end of CCP tyres but still China nonetheless.

      My view is to put the best tyres your budget allows for a daily, there is no run off or kitty litter on the street, only cars, bikes, gutters, trees, kids .......as for the track, it's not like street driving where you need to deal with all the thousands of Muppets that are cutting you off, slamming on their brakes for animals or pedestrians that wander into the road Every mm the tyre brakes better could be the mm's required to not running over a kid who runs out in front of you, especially if it's wet, wet weather is where most cheap tyres fail horribly, either when hard braking, or quick evasive turning even at lower speeds My Honda came with Tracmax, whilst they worked in the dry doing legal road speeds, in the wet they were rubbish  After some googling reviews I tried some Hankook Ventus Prime 4's, the difference in the dry is noticeable, but in the wet the difference is chalk and cheese, IIRC they were around $150 a tyre fitted, so for only $600 for 4 news tyres, that are lasting really well, I have tyres that actually work at legal road speeds in the wet If they save me once from "an unfortunate situation" they have paid for themselves  Tyres are one of those things that can save your life when driving, and as most of your time driving is in your daily, your daily tyres are more important than a tyre on a performance car that knocks of a second or 2 on the track My daughter is a copper, she regularly drags dead or injured people out of cars because they lose control, or run up the back of cars in the wet TL;DR. Buy the best tyres that might help save your life if $hit goes down https://www.bitre.gov.au/publications/ongoing/road_deaths_australia_monthly_bulletins

      Hey sycotix and welcome!  We changed domain names a while back, some of the old links still go to the old domain. If you can click the report button on these posts I can fix them up. I try to attack them as I find them. Thanks! Christian
