My 85 Corolla GT-S build / F22c swap thread by mtmetzger

After the drive shaft was done, I started integrating the Corolla lights to the S2000 wiring harness. It was pretty simple. Run the wires to the lights, solder the corolla connectors and plug them in. Everything works like it is supposed to. I included the circuit for the headlight retractor motors so they flip up when the lights come on and back down when off. Just like factory but with the Honda controls. I even retained the "winter mode" so you can keep the lights up if you want.
One of my buddies lending a hand:

All wiring is neatly tucked under the fender now:

Fenders back on:

Next it was time to start on the exhaust. I didn't get many pictures of the process because I was by myself. I'll try to add a few more later. I did mount the factory S2000 catalytic converter and it fit perfectly. Then made the rest with 2.5" piping and a muffler I had laying around. It had a really nice deep tone and screams in the higher RPMs. I still need to make a tail pipe for it from stainless.

The car sat on jack stands for 3 years. This is the last picture of the car on stands.

The final wiring I had to do was the windshield wiper motor. It took a little bit and a couple relays to reverse polarity but I got the Honda controls operating the corolla motor like it should High, Low and intermittent.
