Noob with a new mx5 Saturn build.

Hey, no I've not confirmed the distance between fuel and electrical runs yet. I've started at the front and I'm working my way back so I have some time to think before I need to overcome it.

The coil packs are from a Yaris and I understand they should work fine with the 1800. Part no is 90919 02239. You can pick them up for about £5-8 each from the bay.

Thanks for that information, I will look into that.
I had a look at the way I have run my pipes and loom down the tunnel, I had to offset the wiring loom down and then back up past the gear lever section but the pipes for fuel and brakes cleared without the offset, and I have mine clipped at 200mm.
Regards Mick.

Thanks for the info, even if I need to take a silly looking route I’m confident I can do it safely. I’m using all led read lights so I can get away with small cross section wires which combined with the fuel pump/sender and handbrake light wires result in not a lot to wiggle through.

I had a whole day on it today. The engine wiring is all done. I need to figure out a decent rout for my alternator cable and that’s about that. Next is the rear of the car then the birds nest under the dash...

Has anyone got any pictures of how they routed their wiring around the rear panel and so on?

Using adhesive pads would be great but we all know they like to detach.

I used the double sided cable tie bases. Removed the tape with a Stanley and a blob of tiger seal to stick it on. It hasn’t moved in 4 years

I presume Iva man was happy with this?

On mine the wiring is all on the car frame, mostly held with pop riveted cable tie clips and all the electrical fittings come quite close to the frame so I used a 2 or 3 wire quick connector so I can remove body parts. Under the wheel arches I glued the wire in place with a tiger seal substitute. Can't move any of the wires and IVA man seemed to be impressed at the lack of flying wires.

Yeah no mention as far as I can remember at Iva.
