n00b with a 91 FC turbo: uh-oh

Hello, I just acquired my first RX-7 project car. Its an S5 FC with an S4 motor that is in rather dilapidated condition. I'm currently suffering from quite a few wiring gremlins and in all likelyhood will need quite a bit of help with this in the future, but for now. I'm glad to be here!

its not too terrible really, I got a microtech LTX-8 standalone with the car so I'll be making my own harness rather than fighting with the stock one.

The only really difficult thing at this point seems to be getting the appropriate wiring diagrams and slicing up the correct wires on the cabin side harness so the tach and speedo and such work. I'll take care of any other nightmares in due time...
