ok so I bought my first turbo dsm a 1997 gst, and the guy had a bunch of aftermarket electronic stuff installed and I want it out but idk how the wiring is supposed to look and I don't wana mess anything up so I was wondering if some1 can come by my place and help me put it all back together properly ( I stripped the car) all the wiring is connected and in the car but idk whats supposed to be there and what isnt, ill pay for gas if any1 can help me out. also I wana paint my interior panels black and I want the paint to last and be good quality , any suggestions? call/txt me at 4429991230 or pm me if you can help a fellow dsmer out :pray:
 
First off what electronic stuff was installed? you could potentially have a lot of electronic stuff that was only connected by power and ground, so knowing whats on there could help out a lot
 
he had a tachometer, a turbo timer, and some other stuff for like a power inverter and cables for a sound/entertainment center...I got most of it out , but there is some stuff that doesn't seem right and my cluster doesn't wana work Idk if its the cluster itself or ### the dude messed with the wiring, like some of the wiring is loose and the dude had it tied down with other wires...I don't think its supposed to be that way..also the wiring for all the lights ..and theres wires that I have no idea where theyre going or what there for
 
Both gufi and I live off twin oaks
 
im probably about 10 mins from twin oaks but im currently working the the turbo set up for my car so its non drivable plus I stipped the interiors out but id give u guys gas money if u can stop by, my plan is to clean all the dust out of my baby put the interiors back in and get her running and registered so I can get her painted and get her some new tires :D
 
dunno if they did the same thing for the 2g's ( I hope not... ) but there was a black ground in my car that was supposed to be for the stock stereo or something that ground the interior lights/gauges/tail lights. there may be a ground there you have disconnected or popped the fuse possibly( i blew 5 of them trying to figure out why my lights went out after playing around with some wires the previous owner mutilated )
 
ok so the car is almost back together and it runs, but the battery keeps getting drained....so im guessing the alternator is no good or some cable is draining the battery....any advice? also I ordered the wrong flange for my greddy bov....I got the weld on 1 but I need the bolt on 1 any1 wana trade? or can someone link me to the proper 1?
