Woe is me
 
It's 70, sunny, blue sky. Miata is in the garage, wearing the hard top, and unable to drive. Totally gay :mad:

Mine is covered in a foot of snow :( Stupid fucking Canadian.

Eh, well went ahead and snapped the oem ecu into its harness. Amazingly it started up and ran. Not entirely elegant, not entirely efficient, but it'll work. Here's how it ran (first start, cold, not been run since Sunday)
Yes, that's a 1.6, factory ecu, factory unmodified/unmolested afm.

@ least your not stuck in Iraq waiting to build a engine! :D man I miss driving..only a couple of more months :D

Mine has been sitting in a parking lot since October waiting patiently.

Mine is on 4 jackstands and the poor rx-7 is outside with snow on it. But yeah, at least I'm not in Iraq, only Detroit (although that may be temporary with the way things are going here...)

Best of luck out there TwoScoopsofHooah

I couldn't take it today though, had to carry crap. someone bought my IC setup.

Drove mine today... been too busy to do any work to my Miata, or else it would currently be on jack stands.

Sunny day in Tampa, no jackstands, no snow, no insurgents...FTW!!!

Mine has one 15" wheel and 3 17"s.. its rocking a gangster lean, but it kind of moves!

cjernigan 02-27-2007 04:48 PM

Drove mine today in the warm weather, top down, turbo working great. Then i put it back up on jackstands where it belongs to put new axxis ultimates, rotors, and ATE super blue in her.

Me too, it was a nice day today, and no classes.

But it'll be back up on jackstands to make sure everything is tight before the first autox in forever this weekend
