400 miles in a day
 
Thats right, i went out on a limb and used my squirted miata to bring a replacement differential to my stocker daily driver miata today which had messed up the rear yesterday. It was stranded in Santa Cruz and I had to save it from the hippies (180 miles from me). I finally finished the swap (done on the street) at 9:20pm PST, and both cars drove home without incident. Anyway, I am just saying I am happy that the Megasquirt which I personally soldered up is reliable enough to do this ... plus with my conservative driving I got 25-26mpg and I'm sure i could do a little bit better with more tuning.

Nice work! Cool to think you built the ECU that runs your car! :)

That first long trip is a BIG leap of faith. It feels good to get back home in one piece :)

The first motorsports event (if you do that kinda thing) is another big leap of faith. It feels even better driving home after that :)

Congrats!!

400 miles in a day running fuel & spark is a milestone - I did it last November: Drove 600 miles for a trackday and drove another 600 miles back the next day, all with the MS.

I drove about 250miles round trip on MSnS only a week after I had it in (with no wbo2 input)....

It was interesting....I guess my failed LC-1 didn't help with the 17mpg (showed lean when rich :cry: )....but made 25mpg on the way home after a bit of dyno tuning...
