So is the rest of the wiring the same??? Do i have to swap computers or anything???

computer and engine bay wiring needs to be swapped, as computers are different. im not sure how easy it would be to swap both wiring looms but i had a damaged car and half of the normal electrics loom as damaged... have you bought a whole car to do the swap? things you will need to change, brakes, brake lines and the brake line mounting section that is on the firewall for some reason it was different...because we left the wiring loom in forthe auto that goes inside i think we had a slight issue with starting it, cant remember off the top of my head, maybe msg nate.
