well, here is the update with my little monster. the poor thing was beeping MADLY at me, a higher pitched consistent buzz and i was freakling out becasue one, my spedo cable isnt hooked up due to major problems with the length. i was flying low with a radar detector, and keeping my rpms nice n low kept my speed down too. the problem was, with this new buzzing, a tack failure was included, along with a message of overheating and "your alternator sucks". so, i put it up on stands and checked it out. to start with, i got a new spedo cable. good feeling. next i tracked dow the computer which was a treasure hunt with a weird ending. as i pulled off the metal shield, a three pointed star stared back at me. yes, my MAZDA rx-7 has a mitsu computer in it. im not knowlageable enough to diss mitsu, but i was dissapointed. well, before consulting you guys (which i should have done) i poked and prodded and tested and got the beeping to go away. spedo works, tach works and no buzzing. im ready to go, with the excepting of my headrests, which are on hold right now, due to my mother being gone.



the pics!

i decided to post here because the general discussion people make fun of me for my mods, and i figured you guys are a bit better. here is my solutuion to the problem of how i was going to turn on and off all my extra goodies in and outside my car.

Looks good. What are you planning to control with all those switches?



Also - Post some pics of your complete interior already. We asked before, and you were waiting for the camera...
