93' Miata stolen and flipped build thread

Before
I routed the EBC hose under the radiator cover if you can spot it. Perfect place to hide it in my opinion, plus it helps seal the air better too!
Routed the catch can hoses around the back of the IM and removed all the vacuum hoses and rerouted them in the cluster **** region so they all meshed together well. Also moved a ton of the wiring around and was able to get a lot of it out of sight out of mind. Slightly bent the feed/return fuel hard lines.
Much MUCH better

It's really not a big deal. It's not as clean as no joiner, but it's in an accessible spot. Would a metal joiner be better? Sure. 10 years from now you'll need to replace the plastic one.
Seriously. NBD.

OK Jeff makes his first appearance...Cranked the engine for a little while till I saw oil pressure.
gauges light up, tach lights up, lights flip up and down(one at a time though...hmmm) Lights stay on(think I know the problem), windshield wipers dont work(not a big deal) but everything else looks golden.
Do I start the engine for real now? I'm a little scared to reconnect the injectors and COP.

OK found the issue...sort of. The starter sucked most of the juice from the battery so it has starting clicking.
Found the red white wire had a butt splice I didn't see come loose so I resoldered it. Cranked the engine and the led's on the board came on while I was cranking the engine. But the battery died right after that. Can you only access MS while the engine is running? Other than while turning the motor over, the LEDs wouldn't stay lit.
Thank god it wasn't my fault! Just hopefully, it will start once I get a charge on it.
