Mostly been selling mx5 bits and raised enough to order by wishbones from spud69. As I have been stripping the car I have been untaping the loom and cutting out all the unnecessary wiring for things like interior lights, heater, wipers, stereo etc. I've been watching "Victory by Design" on Discovery for the inspiration for screenless two seater cars!
It's funny when you start stripping a car for a roadster and you just laugh at how much stuff you really don't need to get from A-B and have fun! Also been looking at aftermarket EMS and turbos oh and wheels, but fortunately have managed to avoid spending any of the, money I don't have, on things I don't need. So pretty dull all in all but chassis kit, plate kit and wishbones should be here in a couple of weeks!

So again today I started on the P/S of the engine bay stripping back the loom and removing the unnecessary and separating the lighting loom from the engine loom to make reuse simplified.
 Battery behind the Drivers seat fuel pump connection in the bckgrd.  Rear lighting loom.  Front Passenger Lighting Loom.  See simplified!Last edited by CTWV50 : 19th March 2012 at 01:14 PM.

 Err Everything Else!  Err engine diags connector, lighting and horn relays, lighting resistor pack er I think! After a day stripping back I plugged it all back in and rechecked the engine still worked before finishing for the day. Should be able to keep the immobiliser if it caries on going this well. Next item on the list the under dash fuse-board! Last edited by CTWV50 : 19th March 2012 at 01:15 PM.

That's far too methodical
 I just ripped all the wiring out and figured I'd worry about it at a later date. I suspect your approach will pay dividends later whilst I'm up to my eyeballs in tangled cables and impossible to understand wiring diagrams!

I don't have anything else to do at the moment so I can take my time.Worst thing about the mx5 loom is that they changed them every year it seems. I've only just got hold of the mazda dealer wiring diagrams for the 94 year from a friend which are brilliant at showing everything very clearly. The mx5 looms really are a rats nest.
This link is good too! http://www.madracki.com/miata/ I'm starting to enjoy working on the loom now it's in the garage on the build table and I can see what is what!

The wife's out for the day and I can't get out to the garage so I've currently got my loom spread out on the living room floor, lol
Thought I've have a go at identifying all the connectors. Wish I'd labelled them all before removing it from the car now!!! Try this link for diagrams: http://neomiata.com/garage/index.php...s%201990-1996/ They're not the easiest to follow, but there's individual diagrams for each year.

Well the first thing I'd do if I were you, speaking from experience, is check all the ecu pinout wires and colours match your wiring diagram as I went through a few before I found my M reg 95 car had a 95' year rear loom and a 94' engine, front and interior loom!
