That's what STH texted me. Can't believe it bolts to something so flimsy. the strap I got has a larger hole (that's what she said) so I'll probably bolt it someplace else, maybe to a bolt on the back of the head.

Dad's car does not have the ground strap installed yet -- he lost them. :Facepalm: the joys of working with someone with Alzheimer's. ... I'm a spaz too. Haha. But it's coming together.

Misfire came back. Pulled the coils to replace them to see if that helped. Noticed that the plug wires don't really fit snugly onto the prong on the coils. Crimped down the end of the plug wires so they snap on to the coils properly... misfire is gone again. Hope it stays that way.
I stole the spiffy Mazdaspeed oil cap off the car that blew the engine. After my little drive last night, oil was EVERYWHERE on my valve cover. yep, the seal under the oil cap was totally brittle. That damn car... the engine must have gotten extremely hot as it blew.
MRLS is soon, guys.

Link for what? I got the little eye-popping toy at an arcade, ran a line to the IM so you'd get vacuum too because that's fun, cut a hole in the bottom of the toy and glued the line into his butt. Zip-tied the line to the wiper stalk, presto poppo.
