FD Annotated Harnesses (Front, Instrument, Dash, Rear, & Floor) + *Index*
Hello everybody. This is something productive that came from my build thread. I thought I'd copy it over to share with you fine folks 
Here is my collection of annotated harnesses that includes the Instrument harness, the Dash harness, the Rear harness, and the Floor harness. Instead of listing out the purpose of each connector in this thread I have created an index which is attached to the bottom of this post. Each connector is tagged with it's corresponding FSM ID. These pictures merely serve as a spacial aid to help physically locate connectors on the corresponding harness. The FSM should still be referenced for circuit information.

INDEX
I am particularly proud of this mainly due to the simplification of the X connectors it provides. For those that don't know the X connectors are the interconnections between the various harnesses in the RX7. The FSM as written does not address the X connectors on one page or per circuit/application like every other connector in the manual, but rather scatters references across the entire manual. Because of this, you basically have to thumb through the whole manual and looking for references to the X connector of interest. For example, parts of X-01 (the Main Fuse Block) are referenced on pages 24, 28, 42, 44, 50, 52, 56, 60, 62, 66, 68, 78, 82,
86, 88, 90, 94, 96, 98, 100, 102, 104, 110, and 115. My index gives these references and more. Attached to the bottom of this post

I found a copy of the PDF file since the original download link is broken:
FD3S RX7 Connector Index pdf free ebook download from www.halfspec.com
Maybe one of the mods can edit the original post and add this link?

Thank you gentlemen. I didn't realize the link had broken, but then again, I can't do much about it since my original post cant be edited
theorie: Thank you for finding the link. I'm surprised that ebookbrowse.com found that pdf buried in my personal website. Haha, the direct link is as follows:
http://www.halfspec.com/downloads/rx...or%20Index.pdf
I'll go ahead and throw this in the mix as well since it's pretty much the culmination of the work in this thread:
http://www.ls1fc.com/pdfs/Halfspec_FSM.pdf
The link above is for a PDF that documents all of the wiring in my car, graciously hosted by Blake & Norotors. I've always documented my work, but getting it formalized isn't something I've had the time for until now as I'd estimate all the original documentation + formalizing it has cost me ~60 hours. My car isn't what I would consider 100% running yet since I'm still working through some fuel pressure issues, but from what I can tell, my electrical system is solid so I feel confident in releasing the details to the public eye. It's based on the FSM, but really starts to branch out after page 94. Here's a taste of what's inside:
It covers the removal of 70+ factory connectors and 40+ electrical parts that I deemed unnecessary with a LS1 swap. It also goes into how I modified existing wiring to support all
of the aftermarket goodies installed in my car.
I've seen LSX guys begging for this type of document. I.E., A guide for removing unnecessary wiring, but I can also see it as being a big aide to rotary guys as it documents a lot of mods that carry over to people cleaning up their rotary FDs. However, I don't really want to advertise it as such, hence I don't really know what to do with it I do think people can learn a lot from my experiences but I also know something like this could be very dangerous in the hands of someone who doesn't have a firm grasp on what they're doing.
So... For now I'm just going to say this is simply a record of my mods for my own reference and for any future owners of my car (I imagine this can only help the resale of my car if I somehow allow someone to pry my hands off the steering wheel)
