fuel cut off

1989 civic hatch dx

#1 anyone know which color wire to cut?
#2 if the fuse in the fuse box is 15a then a 15a rocker switch is good enough, yes?

can't say for sure, you need a Haynes manual, they have wicked badass wiring diagrams in the back!

LOL, paint is hard to say bro... depends on condition of it, and how good a job you want. $1000-$3000 is a decent range, $1000 being shitty paint.

You mean wiring or the switch... I've seen tons of creative places for the fuel cutoff... each more diff't than the other. That's up to you to get whacky...

YES... you never wanna cause any spark in the fuel pump by cutting off +

You always wanna make sure you flip the switch before the key is in the ignition and on...

Ground is a good place to start, but there are tons of how-tos out there, read a few, see what ppl say.
