It's a one shot deal - it stays open - in design, I wouldn't think I'd be a good sales point if you'd have to sit there discharging the system hoping to extinguish the fire ball you might be in! 
I've yet to see one where you had to manually keep the system activated... then again, I don't pay attention that much either.

I know this tread has not seen action in awhile, but I kept seeing your sig pic thinking it was a Photoshop job so I finally clicked on the build link. Nice car.

Thanks man - yeah, nothing new to add right now until I finish up on the 1.8 build and slap it int - but it's just not the motor being swapped - it'll be whole whole thing exhaust, turbo, ECU, body Aero (maybe front clip, or Mdzspeed eprod kit) - another money bomb drop. Including getting a manifold from you -

Uh oh, I moved some pics in photobucket, thanks for the heads up.
Restored most - some are gone (like the blue NA I sold off)

Luckily I have a life-time paint guy who doesn't care, it gives him an opportunity to add more stuff to the car!

Alright, so when I'm not racing or turning wrenches... I'm buffing the paint. That's right, there's a local BIG car show coming up that the miata is accepted in to show... so I put together a little video using what I could - windows movie maker live. Let me know what you think - if it's negative, then 
It's in the thread several posts below ...

you must be talking about the spin and outlining... maybe I should put in the real 'cool' vids of passing more vettes? I was hoping to catch the essensce of the soundtrack - it's derrezed from Tron by daft punk.

Ive found myself watching all of your track videos. Good stuff for sure, Im jealous.... I wish I was out on the track as often as you.
I hope we can get Miata Challenge started up soon in the South East.

I agree on the Miata Challenge thing. We'd have to have a big group to rent out one of the big tracks... 'lil talledaga is cheap, but not my favorite by far...It is a GoProHD and the track title is Derezzed by Daft Punk from the tron soundtrack. You can snag it from youtube (by finding the song, then adding 'listento' before 'youtube' in the http bar.
I've redone it a little, taking out some of the effects... I'll try to upload it tonight...
Here's take 2: Have a 7sec delay for looping between vids -
