On that kill switch, there are 2 wires that exit to the right of the car and there are 2 wires that wrap aournd the back of the fusebox and disappear. Where do those two wires go? You should just be able to cut those 4 wires and eliminte the kill switch. The car won't know it's gone unless it runs to an alarm; which could cause a problem.

You would have to splice in all of the wires at the fuse box by the battery. Can you see the wires under that fuse box? Do they look fried?

yeah I can see the wires but they don't look fried. don't know about inside tho. but no the ones outside don't look fried. I was thinking of soldering the wires instead of splicing. what's best??? i'm also taking in consideration of replacing the Battery cables with the ones from concept z performance look:
http://www.conceptzperformance.com/C...244.11.178.221

has anyone done this before? is it a hard job? any cuttingor splcing? or is it how it says jut plug and conect???

It could help, but I don't think that's your main problem. There are 2 grounding points...1 is on the firewall; which is easy to get to. The other is at the top of the bell housing; which isn't as easy to get to, but is much easier in an N/A, and is very doable. It's probably worth a shot. I'd look at making that grounding net also.

I personally feel that soldering makes a much better connection than using butt connectors.

With the car youre looking at on ebay i would say take a look at it before you buy it if possible. and NEVER sign i mean NEVER sign an AS-IS until you've checked the car out driven it for a lil. I'm just giving you a little warning because i got f*cked over ROYALLY with a damn AS-IS. :doh: Just be very careful when ur buying a car on ebay.

I actually made a large purchase from Z1 recentley, i bought the entire IC pipe set for an amazing price and they shipped it to me when they said they would and i had not one problem with them. Now AMZ Performance on the other hand i'm still having trouble with (donno whats going on with that) but i didnt have any problems with Z1. :headspin:

Z1's been fine for me. They shipped the wrong ECU by mistake, but no big deal. I have the right one now. Lots of good it does me sitting in a box on the floor. :doh:

Bardabe...Z1 is in Georgia. When you call at 3pm here, it's 6pm there. They're not open that late. Call in the morning.

And now we've got to remember that it's 2005. I was just getting comfortable with 2004.

You add "you mangy vermin" to that and we may have to start calling Bardabe, 'Yosemite Sam'.
