April 6, 2007 - Time to start the big wiring job.
A 1994-97 Miata puts the engine computer behind the passenger's seat. This snake of wires is a dedicated harness for the ECU. Since I don't want the ECU back there, nor do I want the weight of the wires, I'm going to modify this harness extensively so that it has the correct plugs on the end for the Hydra Nemesis and also to shorten it for the firewall mounting location.
The original plan was to splice the Nemesis wiring directly into the main harness, but this is a more flexible arrangement if I ever decide to change to a different ECU. I can just unplug my adapter harness and pop in a stock one - or another adapter. It'll also be easier to test the wiring when it's removed from the car like this.
