Yup- Cheaters suck. And yes I am a guy who will do something about it.

But, like most, when I decide to do something about it, I choose to protest someone who is malicious. Domed pistons and that sort of stuff. Things guys have actually gone out of their way to do for perceived performance gains.

Repairing a connector aint one of 'em.

How is clipping an unused wire that is shorting out down the line cheating? If it has been broken naturally is that cheating?

If you have a wire that has multiple breaks, and you need that wire, how is soldering a same guage wire cheating? I bet thats well in the normal dealership repair parameters.

Maybe you can make a case that they are all cheats, but what exactly is the performace gain from either?

Look, in a perfect world, we might like to ahve a better harness rule...but the costs (unintended consequences) of such a rule are likely to much greater than the status quo.

Plus, there are lots of bigger fish to fry...
