Default 91 EF Questions

<FONT COLOR="royalblue"> My Best Bud just picked up a 91 EF w/ 95 EX D16 engine. The previous owner did a crazy hack job on the Harness and now we are stuck w/ the mess. Everytime you press the brake pedal the Seatbelt light comes on. We are trying to fix it lil by lil and I was hoping somebody can share some light on this. Also, what would be a good Suspension set up to run on the hatchy? We were thinking something along the lines of H&R Springs & Koni's. We thought about dropping in a B, but decided to Turbo the D16. But before we do any drastic engine work, we want to fix any lil bug it has. Thanks in advance for any advice given. </FONT>

I know this sounds like alot of work, but if you wanna do it right you should replace the cabin wire harness(s) and the engine wire harness, or basically whatever harness(s) the previous owner touched. You could find them cheap on here or at a junkyard. Otherwise you will spend weeks chasing down electrical problems and still have a (less)hacked up harness

I think it would just be easier to replace the wire harness. I always hate messing with other people's wiring screw ups.

Konis and H&Rs are a great suspension. If he wants Tein SS I've got some brand new ones for sale for $800.
