MK60 wiring: day 2
Day 2 of wiring- Yaw sensor I created a yaw sensor mount in fusion 360. I designed it with an angle to match the rear of the center console. I did this with a 15 degree angle, but I think I overshot a bit and might redo it at 12.5 degrees when I make an…

MK60 wiring: day 1
Day 1 of wiring First Up Red Band – Needs to be connected to 12v power through a fuse. Recommend a 30A fuse. Some users have gotten away with a 20A fuse, but OEM was 30A so that’s what I use. Orange Band – Same as the red banded wire. Needs its own 20-30A fuse.…

MK60: mounted + hard lines run

First drive + alignment fight
The last week has been frustrating. I went out to test drive the car to make sure nothing was wrong on Wednesday. The battery was dead, so I throw it on the charger overnight and in the morning it’s still at 3.5v, so ex-battery. NBD, this is why I tested. So get a cheapie Walmart…

Rear delrin install, sway bar, end links
So this weekend was frustrating. I finished up the rear delrin bushings. Luckily the rear is a lot easier as you can press them out either direction. It’s even possible with the arms still on the car. I skipped the rear ball joints for now. They are in okay condition and I just wanted it…
