2) Lots of added equipment with switches/relays, and the extra terminal room.
I wanted mine to stay as small/simple as possible.
Show us the whole car!

I wanted to do something similar but I went for overkill instead of under kill. I wanted to alleviate some of the issues I was seeing with friends who had used after market harnesses and the like and make everything work reliably. Being that this is my first time doing wiring like this I figure I did alright but I definitely learned enough just in this small part to make some improvements in how I do things in the future.
I will put up pictures of the whole in a few weeks. I am waiting on some parts and some other things to happen (found some discrepencies in the paint that have to be fixed) and did not want to post any pictures of the whole car until it was close to a rolling chasis. So next time I put pictures of the whole car up, it should have the sway bars in it, subframe brace, wheels and brakes installed and a couple other little items done.
For now I will stick to one section at a time and move nice and methodical through this thing so I do nto blow myself up later on
