So, I'm attempting a wire tuck...
Well we will see, best of luck. I hope you are doing some good things. Your work is good, but I guess like all companies you go through a rough spot everyonce in a while.

I'm in the process of getting a Chasebays harness. I have briefly talked to Chase and one of his employees and so far I have had a great experience. Once my harness is out its going to them for some work.

Dropped my trans off yesterday and got a sneak peek at the CM1 Evo VIII harness, and I'm super stoked. Test fitting looks perfect. I'm Not sure if he'll just splice in the mil-spec twist lock for me, or if he'll just make another one.
We're going with a split reservoir brake setup, one for front and one for rear. It's not as clean as the single, but I like that extra insurance.
the bias controller is quality, I'm thinking the placement is going to be in the cubby hole to the left of the steering wheel. Easy access, but out of the way from wandering hands.
-He's still working on making me a "one off" accessory/light harness.
I actually have some general questions for you guys about some things
If the acc harness were put into production, where would you want the fuse box mounted? under the dash(if there's room), in the trunk, or under the headlight?
-If you get the engine harness, would you be inclined to get rid of the ABS and order a brake line kit for a discount?

ChaseBays, I have a question. That harness was $499, and you have to send in a core harness. Does the process just involve unlooming the stock stuff, and then re-looming, or is it all new wire and connectors for the most part?

It's been slow going on my part, but between work and family life I haven't had much time to wrench, but I've been motivated as of late so here's some progress:
I ended up partially shaving and painting the bay silver since the black swallowed all the nice bits in there. I have the full milspec wiring harness installed, as well as the power steering lines and the manual break booster/abs delete. I also made a custom accessory harness and relocated the fuse panel underneath the radio.
No big turbo stuff yet, just a stock Evo IV motor with some shiny bits so I can enjoy the car for a while.
This was after I took the motor out:
new hotness:
shot without intake manifold:
Twistlock is FTW:
I opted for the full milspec setup, as well as the wicked quick disconnect injector plugs:
How everything currently looks, it sucks that the harness looks so good, but is tucked away where you can't see it:
Some of the visible wiring:
Power steering reservoir:
Power steering lines:
This was before I had to rip everything back out to change the clutch back out (long story) but it's a bit more "complete"
I've gotta say doing business with Chase has been nothing but a pleasurable experience. I knew going in that I would be the guinea pig, so it would take time, but he and his staff have kept me in the loop and worked around the crazy turns my life has taken as of late.

Whew its about time. It was this review I was waiting on to make a decision to purchase. Since it took so long I just bought another stock harness. I was not overly impressed with them when talking to them on the phone. Hope it all works well for you.

Well, I do live in Alabama, and will occasionally make a road trip. I may eventually get the lines tucked but we'll see.
