Default Where to buy shielded wiring in Orange County

Does anyone know where I can purchase some shielded wiring in Orange County, California? I tried a Radio Shack by my house, but they only have like coaxial cables which are way too big. I think our Honda's use 18 gauge wiring right? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You could try buying some RCA audio cables. The cable itself appears to be the exact same thing as the shielded wire used by Honda. Just cut off the plugs. On the other hand, I am not sure if the insulation is going to stand up to heat too well since it is not designed to run in a hot engine bay. You could just go to a pick-and-pull type junk yard and pull some shielded wire from an engine harness. This way, you will know for sure that it will stand up.

Yup, Orvac Electronics is the place. I was just there today and was about to post it, but you beat me to it. This place has all kinds of shielded wires for very cheap. I purchased 10 feet of this dual conductor shielded wiring for $0.33 a foot. This place is da bomb!
