just pull the loom off that one down a foot or so, odds are you will find the break.

i had a similar issue with my gte swapped lexus drift car. i had to drop the tranny one week before a comp to replace a freeze plug. i reinstalled it all just in time to trailer the car and leave for the event, once i got there 300 miles away i spent the entire next day under the car (40* and rain) trying to figure out why the auto trans wouldnt shift at all. turns out it was a single pulled wire that i didnt find till i got back home. and i DID solder and shrink wrap all my connections too.

best of luck

I know the car will be a blast to drive, I can't wait!

I still have my other rims, and they have great rubber on them too... I'm not selling them now, may use them for track wheels...

It's ok, we talked about getting your extra, but I decided to get one that hadn't been spliced, due to the problems we were having... I may still hit you up for that LSD, however!

Congrats on getting the head done, be sure to cruise on by the shop when it's up and running...
