I do apologize for the caps lock. I am at work and we are required to have caps lock on. I guess im just used to seeing it all the time. I doing a midnight to 8am shift and will post pics as soon as I get home. didnt mean to come off as needy. The chassis has 160k miles on it and the sr has roughly 107km on it.

the only thing that i can help you with is the battery dieingsounds like those fans that are wired up wrong are drawing power off the battery even when the cars off, i had a similiar problem with crappy fog lightsremoved them and battery got alot stronger.as for the rest of that stuffyou can either search the websiteor ask the people herewhich they will then either tell you to search or help you.If they tell you to search then search hard cause its out there

and holy crap your required to have caps lock on? that must suck...

Welcome. I fell ya on the caps lock at work. (D**n bastards.) As far as anything on that list; I agree about the only thing I can say is the wires on the flex-a-lite fans. As fas memory goes, AutoZone sells a memory saver that plugs into the cigarette lighter and requires a 9V battery to keep power to the comp, and radio.

I just wired mine to the A/C relay in the drivers side relay box. Once you take the relay out the top left pin has 12v power only when ignition is on. So whenever you turn on the car the fan comes on automatically, and I just grounded it on the chassis. Thats how I did mine.

I hope this helps, and welcome man..
