Teşekkr ederim arkadaş.
(Thank you friend.)

 

[MiaTurbo]

Who knows what I'm planning? For scale the white pieces are .5x12x36"

 

[aMaff]

Thanks. Adjusted the dampers today, she was riding a little stiff for me. Very nice now.

teaser picture. This was while I was contouring/smoothing/etc. Right now I'm waiting for first layer of fiberglass to dry

 

[JDM-P5]

Awwwwwshiznit. Fadi can't wait to see the final product.

 

[Foolish]

Sweetness, Fadi. Did you wind tunnel test the design with 14 hair dryers in a hallway?

BTW, I've finally crushed Dru's spirit. She's ok'd the purchase of a Miata for my post-school daily driver! I'm either going to have to go 1.6L, or add an airbag switch to a 1.8L, but I'm sticking with an NA, and it's not going to be another red one. I'm so over pink bumpers!

The fleet will be:
P5, MPV, MX-5,
and when money allows:
P5, Mazda5, MX-5
...which sounds about perfect to me!

 

[MiaTurbo]

Wind tunnel testing was done with a leaf blower.

I'm glad Dru is allowing you to get anothe Miata lol

 

[MiaTurbo]

well, that didn't work. Stupid fiberglass is a pain to work with on such a large piece without some type of mold. Time for plan 'b'.

 

[JDM-P5]

Kev...with the CAS, what did you have to fiddle with to get it to crank?

 

[JDM-P5]

Actually...just got off the phone with the mechanic.
He got the car started...but it doesn't sound right...so he's getting an electrician to come over and check everything over.
At least I know the car runs.

It's the ignitor connector. Same problem I mentioned earlier.

 

[JDM-P5]

That's the small module right?
Not the on/around CAS correct?

Yeah, it's near the front passenger side strut (Has a mitsubishi logo on it if I'm not mistaken)

 

[JDM-P5]

Yeah ok...I figured that's what it was.
So I replaced that old one with a new to me one.
Like I said...it cranks up...I have not personally been by to see it yet because I'm stuck @ work.

 

[JDM-P5]

Ok...got off the phone & the car does not crank over.
mechanic states that there's something wrong with the eletronics on the module...they are going to fix it and hopefully it will be done tonight.
GD this SUCCCCCCCCCKS!

Anyone have an extra stock ECU...mine is shot.

What makes you think it's shot? What's the prognosis. The stock ECUs rarely die.
