Its getting to be close to summer and i'm getting the bug to work on the 7 some more. Curently the throw-out bearing needs replaced, and i have to put my new fuel system in, a 3 bar map sensor, and a .86 A/R exhaust side housing on the turbo. I allreay have all these parts. Some of the other problems that worrie me thou are all the electrical problems. Currently when you push the clutch in and out the brake light and another warning light go on and off. The lights on the dash dont light up when the headlights or driving lights are on, the driving lights dont turn on either, the starter is acting up really bad too. And finaly the battery wont hold a charge. Any idea where to start on some of those problems? Does any body make a killer ground wire kit? I think that might take care of some issues. And if any one knows where i can get a write up on a 3bar and the fuel system that would be great.

Yea its nice to be able to do that if you have a shop open during the winter and have the money at the time. I dont plan on having the car on the rode within the next 2-3 years. Once i get it running i'll prob take it on the rode a few times and then trailer it to the local tracks, beaver run raceway, and pittsburh raceway park. So i really dont have a off season or on season.

i have a brand new battery, alternator, and i've checked all of the fuses.

Just checked some more things, The dash lights will flash when i arm the alarm but when i turn on the driving lights or headlights the dash lights dont come on. Its the air bag light and brake light that keep going on and off for some reason when you push the clutch in and out. It still starts up just fine, which really suprizes me since most of the time they are a bitch to get going after sitting for awhile. Where does all the wiring for the dash and those lights run? Is that all part of the same harness that runs over the front driver side fender? That harness is pretty well damaged, its been giving me problems for ever, its been fixed twice allready. Should i just look at replacing it?
