Well, Leni just emailed me and it looks like he is all out of the 90-93 kit, and it was a one time purchase.

You can make them using 4/8 gauge wire and ring terminals....

:edit: And probably at 1/5 the cost. I'd just go to a car stereo shop and ask for 8-10 ft of the stuff, you might be able to get by with 5 or 6 ft even.

I know I can make one or buy some universal crap off of ebay, but I was looking for something plug and play that says take this and put it here. I have too many other things to do to be spending hours trying figure out the best places to put them, how long, etc. Unfortunately, it looks like the only available Miata specific kit out there is an HKS kit that runs over $125. I won't allow myself to go there. I may just throw on a few more of these $2 6 gauge Ghetto ground wires from Walmart.

Stop by Tanner's on Valwood just West of I-35E in Carrollton... they'll have braided ground wire and all the connectors and should be cheaper than any stereo shop.

Titus - can you get a copy of the instructions? We can make that kit if we knew where all the wires went.

Yeah... I looked in to that... the wire is cheap... it's the terminals that kill you.

There's your problem, Crutchfield sucks.... Try CarDomain, the RSX guys buy 25ft of wire and all the terminals they need for under $30 shipped... And I know that independent shops around the area are much cheaper than either Crutchfield or CarDomain. Hell, last time I was in one in Arlington, they offered me the terminals free with the wire.


And really, you just need a few:
One for the battery to somewhere in the trunk (I'd use the stock one plus an extra).
One for the frame to the PPF
One (maybe two) from the engine to the frame rail... or even the front subframe.

And that's it.

Todd,

Moss has that Enthusiasts manual on backorder until the end of May at the minimum... OK Miata is out of stock... I called around and found them in stock at Flyin' Miata so I cancelled the Moss order & one is coming from them.

It's being shipped to my house since it was my first order placed with them... I did that rather than call them and go through the hassle of getting shipped elsewhere. (Their site says to call for that if you are a first time customer)...

Should be here by the end of next week.
