lol, the digital dash is gonna be SO BALLIN!!! Its gonna totally be worth all the trouble. I just want everything to be logical. The way I had it wired before made no sense. All the gauges took power from the radio and lighting inputs from the radio and such. See, the instructions for doing the digital dash swap on the net leave out all the "extra" stuff that goes above and beyond just making it work, because most TD people are lazy and bad at wiring. So I am having to figure out most of the shit on my own. So, its a digital dash, which means it is bright at night right? The instructions say "don't worry about the dimmer wire, just leave it" that kind of shit bugs me. If the "dimmer" wire is there it probably does something cool to the unit when you turn the light knob. I want that cool something to happen! I also want to re-route all the wiring that goes to my gauge pod up behind there so all the gauges are wired together....thats the logic I was talking about. I don't want half the wiring going to the radio and half to the column. Also I need to go cut the ignition harness out of another car. Between all the cutting and splicing my ignition harness wires look like solid electrical tape.
If you can see it this is the swap thread I am using for my basis, but the bottom line is I will be doing all the wiring from my diagrams. I have an 88 and 89 book both so I can look at the two sets of plugs side by side. I'll be taking them to class today so I can try and figure this shit out.

REMOTE START OWNERS~ have any of you figured out how to make "turbo timer" an automatic option? I'm thinking if this is possible I might put a Python 990 on it (the mile range joint with the LCD display) The 990 is the same as the Viper 8XX whatever you DSM fools have, only its gonna be the model after it. My problem with remote start for that purpose so far is that it is an option that you must activate. I'm thinking I might be better off just putting a strait up turbo timer in it instead.
On that note - Whats a good cheap turbo timer? I had a "greddy" one I got from Rex but it didn't seem very legit so I sold it. Thoughts?
