Andrew seems to think that a junior law associate will have more than one free hour a YEAR to actually DRIVE a car on a track. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Nice job on the harness Travis. It's now on my list.

The relays are 30/40 amp and are standard automotive relays. I could have went with the super weather sealed ones but... 1) they are not needed in this application and 2) if one ever goes bad you are not searching high and low for an exact replacement.

Trevor,
Going in the sig right now...

Andrew,
I have my own car to worry about. Anyone got a spare torque biasing diff. handy?

Once you have everything together (including the lenses and lights, etc) it will resemble the package IceShark was selling, right?

Dont give him one, I hardly stand a chance against him at the autocross now, if he gets that I might as well go back to loosing to an SUV again. Did I say that? Oh well tomorrow is another autocross, we'll see how it goes. The Headlight upgrade kits are SWEEEEEET, Maby we can get some before and after pix on my car with standard sealed beam headlights. Now that I just got my car back from the body shop, but thats another story. Time to KIll The Cones Tomorrow.....

I have never seen an IceShark kit, but I guess it might. The lights and housings are indeed the most logical companion to a new harness since you can now handle the added current being drawn with their use.
I started the project because I toasted the headlight switch in my 86 NA. If I am going to take the time to build something good for myself, it might as well be available to everyone else as well.

Me, too, this seems like a no brainer.

Hey Trav, any reason why your NA brake upograde kit wouldn't fit an early model 928 (its the same part number for 944AN and early 928 calipers)? I want to upgrade my wife's brakes on her '82 and I bet the 928 guys would eat this up... the way they spend money on their cars makes us look like the cheap ba$tards that we are!

Regards,

I just ordered my harness (also got a NIB Iceshark +/- battery cable kit recently through another RL member), and joined RL for 2 years with the savings!! Thanks for this excellent site!
