complete novice, alarm/remote start, 88 mr2

hi , thanks for that post but i had already looked that up on the forum the problem is that my wiring coe doesnt match all those colours , howie suggested flashing the ignitiion, but when i went to do it i bottled out(sorry howie) my wires and the readings i get are below if any geniuses out there can identify them it would be a great help . the general consensus is that theBLACK/ white wire is the starter but the BROWN / red behaves almost the same

i traced the ignition wires further down the harness to another plug and found that the wires on the other side of that are "by the book" so i can only presume the ignition barrel was changed at some time . there is a brown and red wire going to a black and white wire and a black and white wire going to a second identical black and white wire , so in essence there are two starter wires coming from the ignition switch!go figure !

anyway i should be able to sort it all out tomorrow evening but in the back of my mind i will always wonder why the two different coloured wires connect to two smaller diameter wires of the same colour, in other words why does start require two wires , any suggestions would be useful , not for the install but for my own curiosity 

i am currently installing my new alarm (yes howie , still doing it ), this is a picture of the supposed starter kill relay supplied with the alarm with their colour coding labelled . i have looked at your database and cant match this method of wiring with any of the examples given . i  presume that i still have to cut the starter wire and wire as usual or is this a different way of doing it . any suggestions or explanations gratefully received .
