I am about ready to get the wiring done finally on my mx-3. i am using an AEM EMS that plugs into the miata wire harness, i have a 1994 wire harness complete and want help running it from inside the car to the engine bay and hook it up to the engine... is there anyone who can help with that? I have a few hundred that i'd be willing to pay if someone can help with that and make it look as professional as possible.

The car is located in a garage in the morocco, IN area across US41 kitty corner to the US 41 international dragway

I wish I could :/ But I'm not handy enough to do my own standback ... will be asking others for help too. blah.

What type of wiring are we talking here? I've done a bit of it (plus i'm an EE)

basically i have a full miata engine wire harness and an mx-3 with a mostly empty engine bay and i'm going to need the wire harness run (it runs a little odd cause the miata engine is positioned differently) and positioned so that i can hooke it up to the engine sensors and such as soon as the last two engine mounts are done

if anyone needs more specifics the miata harness splits before going into the engine bay and enters one either side of the engine, where are the mx-3s and proteges do not split and enter the engine bay on the passenger side only. so i either need to make an extra hole in the firewall or take the miata harness apart and retape it all together to go through just the single hole. then some wires will need to be shortened some lengthened and i want the wires tucked so that the engine bay looks very clean. i found a very short write up on how to hide the fuse box in the engine bay and such. luckily i have the dash out so doing this shouldn't be too hard

the only other part is i need to make sure the dash wiring will hook up somehow cause i have mx-3 dash wiring

This is a project that I'd definitely like to help with. I just have the shittiest schedule in the summer that you can imagine.

August doesn't look too bad...as long as it's not the 9th or the weekend of the 31st.
