Mike will be about 600 miles closer to you on July 16th... come on up to Westiva 2011!

Holy Crap! Just mapquested Westiva. Only 2285 miles. One way. :shock:
Still, I'd love to make there, at least once.

[sasquatch]

thanks for the kind words everyone i also got the sound system working last night, sounds good i should be getting this thing on the road soon and work on the tune... cant wait to drive this thing again

Dang I thought we were racing to see who was running on standalone first....lol

ya and i won :lol:

So when will you be adding a turbo? :lol:

i may wait about 2 months to see how much faster i can get it to go N/A on the track (compair standalone to stock...) and im thinking ill do it after the westiva meet cause if there is some problems with my motor or trans the turbo WILL find them lol...

WOW 3" Intake tubing in a Festiva! Crazy!

Good Job on getting it started!

couldnt have done it with out you, thanks for the help

and im havine more problems with that dang com port on my PC (Piece of Crap lol...) still saying "com port in use"... we may have to look in to it later if you have time...

and some cool shots, just messing around with the camera...



it was runing yesterday but the timing was stuck at 17 deg's and after finding out whats wrong, i cant fix it, the computer and dist are not getting along at all i have no clue whats happening, ill have to get someone to help me i was planning on putting the plates on it this week but it dosnt look like thats happening

[FestYboy]

could you give us an idea what the ECU want's to see as a cam signal referance?

[91blufestiva]

^that 4th picture is sick mike! Looks awesome! good luck on the wiring...

[sasquatch]

well i found out that i need a new dist... its not sending a home position signal (maybe ill get a miata CAS if i can find one...)

[timmay89]

Mike, I have a spare BP dist if you need one. I can't get it to you until next week though. For you free. Interested?

[sasquatch]

ok so after finding a maita CAS in the junkyard (never once have i seen a miata in a junkyard, with the motor in it...) pick that up and still a no go... now im getting spark but its EVERYWHERE... its just throwing sparks all over the place on timing mark... (not like a few deg's... im seeing like 360 deg's...) i think i have a setting wrong somewhere...

[gorgonheimer]

Do you have the wheel teeth count set right in ms?

[sasquatch]

its not MS... its haltech... but it ran fine 2 days ago, then died when it was running.... then hasnt started after that...

[gorgonheimer]

I'm sorry. I thought you were having a no start after the miata cas swap
