Re-wiring electrical system and
 

My S2000 is becoming a drag race only car. Yes, that's right, I am turning an S2000 into a drag race only car. Go figure. To each is own right? :thumbup:

Anyways, I am curious to know what the level of effort/expertise would be required to re-wire my S2000's electrical system and remove unnecessary wiring. Essentially I only need wiring that would allow the car to drive. I've removed my VSA, speed sensors, SRS, a/c and heater system, radio, etc. and most of the wiring going to those items. I know that professional drag cars are completely stripped down and although I won't be entering the professional arena I would like to remove as much wiring as possible and reduce the risk of any electrical failures.

Thoughts? :hello:

well, you could buy a new engine harness, gut the car of all wiring, install the new harness and you're set.

You'll have a spare harness that way too, you never know if you'll burn one up.

That's a pretty good idea! I would like to retain certain functionalities like headlights and taillights, but pretty much everything else could go.

BTW...I'd like to keep my current engine wiring harness because I paid my stereo shop around $400 to beautify it:

well then if you've already got it out, what else do you need to know?

You don't need lights. You'll need ignition power to the fuel pump and I can't really think of anything else that's not already taken care of by the engine harness. EPS is optional, if it's drag only, I don't know why you'd need it.

Sorry...I guess I sort of talked myself through it. I need the headlights for drag racing at night. Call me a wus but I'll probably retain the EPS. My car is getting so freaking light that I need to remember to leave some parts simply for added weight! :thumbup:

Well, you could pull the HID ballasts and lights and just power the high beam incandescents for night racing.

Do you think that would be overkill, or is it simply a part of going all out? Shoot, I may need to look at having the car acid dipped! :LOL:
