    Got a bunch of switches, wire spool, fuses. Help me with project ideas.

    So I was a bit premature when buying electrical stuff and I'm still not done I need another 20 bucks of crimp connectors,ect.
    Can you please suggest electrical projects that I can do with my miata and your favorite mods.




    Here's a pic(s) of the damage to my wallet. More to come. Mostly 15 & 25 amp swiches even those 10amp small switches revlimter put under his gauges. EVEN a horn switch.

    make a panel for the lights.

    light switch panels are the best.

    But I got no boost or ABS or TCS.

    OH and the kill switch is why I bought a 12ft pack of 12GA wire to make a 4 inch clutch switch bypass. I think they are 1/4" blades. Just got to go the the local store to get those and wire them to a appropriate switch. The stock wire are thick like thicker than 18GA, which means there's a ton of juice going thru them? Is the switch used only during cranking? I dont see why would you need a ton of wire unless its going from the ig switch to the starter.

    I did a dual-fan mod that involves some adtermarket switches. At least that was a useful mod for one of them.

    there is a build thread somewhere SILVER NA, it wll not work on your ride tough as is for NA the guy made a simple dash no radio, A/C panel parts, ect. He used toggle switches for the hazard lights and like more switches. It looks freaking cool. Look it up.

    Looks sweet! I am fan of your work. Your aftermarket gauge in the place of the factory oil pres. gauge is sweet. At the end of this I hope to achieve something similar in levels of quality/finish you put into your car.

    Hey thanks! Didn't think anyone remembered that. I loved tinkering with my Miata.

    any ideas guys?
    So far I've printed about 80% of the 00 wiring manual. Everyday I learn something like the evap pump in the gas tank that turns on in the on position. You know that thing we think is the fuel pump and makes a 3 second whine when you flick on the key. Well that's it.

    Current goals:
    -see if I can put a switch so I'm not accidentally flicking the windshield wipers when I have a ton of dust on the windshield.
    -wire windows so they work on ACC or just all the time. (any safety stuff I need to know about?)
    -bypass/put a switch on the starter bypass (turns out it does carry quite a bit of current as the wires are 12GA and run to the starter solenoid, if anyone know how much current you'll be saving me major hair pulling)
    -wire my WBO even better.
    -ect.

    feel free to suggest things.

    PS: how much of the ABS is prewired on a non abs 00 car?

    This is a little hard because you have a bunch of parts looking for a project instead of the other way around.
