Marine7 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Mike, Is that really my old car? Wow... I've said it before and I'll say it again: Nice Job! Cant wait to see the whole thin finished. Of course you'll have to post a lot of pictures of both interior and exterior. Maybe some before and after shots so everyone can truly appreciate the transformation. Tell me about your heel pad. Looks like a small alloy strip. Great idea. Did you purchase off the shelf, or have your metal magician whip it up for you? Keep the updated coming.

MightyMike Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Jason, Thanks for the compliments. Your car has certainly gone through a transformation, but its soul hasn't changed. I picked up the heal pad online - Moss Motors if my memory serves me right. The only challenge that I see remaining with my wiring install is getting the right wires from the ECU figured out.

MightyMike Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 ISIS install going well; however, I have a few extra wires. In fact, the three sets of bundled input wires are un-needed. At some point when I'm triple sure that I will not need them, I plan to cut them off or pull them out of the connectors. The output wires to the system are still backordered. Once I get those and barring any screwups, my Birkin ought to be up and running in short order. http://i51.tinypic.com/15hzwhj.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyMike Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Wiring harness project is complete! I still must calibrate my Stack dash and fix a few minor things, but I am pleased with the results. I like the push button start and not having an ignition key. http://i53.tinypic.com/2mdksg1.jpg http://i55.tinypic.com/8wa25e.jpg http://i51.tinypic.com/vo4f11.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slomove Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Come on....you can not keep your car that spiffy. Drive it! Are you sure you won't join our Black Hills trip in July? Seriously though, fabulous car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 No key? Does it have a proximity fob or can anyone just jump in, fire it up and drive away? If so, what is your new address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMike Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Skip: No key - just a key fob that arms/disarms the security. Slomove: I drive the car as much as I can. With two young kids, I am usually stuck driving my Corolla! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyMike Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 They are used to program the Stack and view different information layers on the dash (e.g. fuel level, odometer, lap times, etc...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackal Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Absolutely gorgeous! I always remember a few "key" cars that have really inspired my own projects. This Birkin is now one. Now I just need the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
