    Re-wiring chassis harness

    So here's the deal. I'm have been building a drift/autox car, and I have stripped the body of all the wiring. I want to relocate the fuse box into the dash area. And I'm making this car street legal. What do you guys recommend for wiring? I've been looking at the ezwiring kits, and other around the web but can't pull the trigger. Could I run the stock dme at all from this harness? Or would I have to install my ms3x right away? Thanks guys. It's a m52 with an hx40 running e85 by the way.

    Custom race harness requires....custom wiring. Hope you have electrical experience.

    - ETM manual will be a must!
    - Get a hold of some extra wire in different colors.
    - Be experienced in terminations. Butt connectors are OK but solder is much better (more secure joint and heat shrink will seal connection up and prevent oxidation. Butt connectors will be vulnerable to oxidation over time unless you heat shrink those too.)
    - Be sure to match the same wire gauge as OEM, not thinner.
    - You can run any DME/configuration you want, as long as you have the correct wiring and compatibility.

      Yea I have electrical experience and all. I was just more wondering if anyone has used a 12 circuit or so street rod type harness for one of these. Those wires are all labeled and such, and I will be using parts of the stock harness to make connections such as headlights and wiper and such.
      This kit for example.
