Its amazing how many times I've typed that out for people.
Not only do I claim that, Scott and Brad were both witness to it when we were working on Brads diff.
I think more people would look at the **** in the archives if its name was changed to something like "Technical Documents" or some such ****. I think when noobs see archives they think, oh thats just where they stick all the old threads and ****.

you could possibly burn out a coil. If Brian's didn't in 2 months, i doubt they would over any longer time. I'm pretty sure I touched them after he drove about an hour to my house, they weren't hot...

Well I started my install. I wanted it to be reversible in case there were problems (didn't want to cut off the stock connectors), so I got a 4 wire plug harness for a trailer. I installed the side in to the Miata harness last night (spliced/soldered), and will build the harness for the coils tonight. The only concern that I have is that the trailer harness is 14 gauge wire. Will the larger wire cause me any problems?
Thanks,
Jason

Well, I got my harness installed yesterday on my 99 with the stock ECU and Toyota coilpacks, and it fired right up, no issues at all. Purred like a kitten. I let it run for a half hour (some moron not to be named left the passenger door cracked open for a few days and killed the battery), and revved it up and down, no issues there either. Seems to be a success story here. I'd like to take it for a drive, but there is a bit of snow on the ground, and I still have to mount the coilpacks (they are just loosely sitting on the plugs now). So far, so good.
