    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Had the same feeling about 2 weeks ago, when I changed the rear diff fluid and the transfer case fluid (stupid PO used ATF in the transfer case). But after I get back from the road-trip I have to change the engine oil. Out of sheer curiosity I will probably take the pan off to look around.

    Who's doing the work on the car? Make sure before you throw money at the car that it is indeed a bad unit. For example on my truck the speed sensors always show 3mph since they require voltage to operate and never get to 0mph on the tech2 scanner. To the untrained eye seeing 3mph sitting still would be a huge red flag but in this case it's normal. ABS light can also mean bad wheel bearing so I would jack the vehicle up and grab the wheel at 12 and 6 and rock the wheel to see if there's movement. It only takes a little wobble to make the ABS sensor lose signal and even a millisecond of lost signal will trigger the ABS light/code.I'll be doing any work on the vehicle.Oh shit your fucked. 1. You're 2. Some probably know more about cars than you do

    Plus the bodywork guy is anxious to form metal by hand.

    When I bought the front inner fenders I posted on the UK Miata Facebook group and somebody there is always willing to chop up a Miata they are parting. Cheap shipping too.

    I'd stay away from the mini models. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-OBD2-ELM327-V1-5-Bluetooth-Car-Scanner-Android-Torque-Auto-Scan-Tool-OBD-II-/231573943599 The one which worked for me was the B model. The H model did not work with the protocol I needed. Even so, I kept it plugged in a lot of time and it did not die.

    After the vacation I'm booking a visit to our local detailing center for cleaning the interior and polishing my headlights.

    I need to find tan carpet. I want to color match the sub in the new Jeep. According to what I could find, the color is called Camel. Any ideas where I can buy some carpet ?

    Sounds chinese. Bastards Yup. I'm buying local with testing. Worth spending extra cash to make sure it works and it takes 30 seconds to test. Pretty funny that on the board the bus connection was interrupted. Even bridging the interruption did not help and I don't know why I thought it would work.

    If all goes well, the bodywork guy should have the Miata ready when I get back from vacation. Then I would have to clean and fix the surface rust and find a painter

    My nice stash of parts arrived Sunday at the shipping warehouse and I can't pick it up today since it's a national holiday.

    The OBD2 steering wheel controls did not work with my mini-ELM327 clone. The J1850 bus was not even connected to the processor. Chinese "works with all protocols" .

    Went to a competition this weekend. 16 year old kid got lucky, as we helped him tune the box, lend him a battery and my Z1. Won his class, crushed some egos I haven't competed for over 2 years, now I want to do it again.

    Did you think that maybe your lifestyle does that to you? Little sleep, lots of alcohol...
