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

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.

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

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
