    It is a miata, and he wants money instead of it.

    Yeah, he took it down already. I bought the car at lunch and was looking for backstory :)

    Good luck with that car, Adaptronic won't pass OBD2 inspection, not sure if he ever got the MSM ECU, and I'm betting it won't run on the 2001 ECU(without the adaptronic).

    That's weird, it doesn't throw any codes and it has a fresh inspection. He said that it passes just fine b/c there are no codes. What makes it fail?

    adaptronic is a nice ECU. Do you know if the tune is safe?
    What brand is the "coilover suspension"?

    THe tune is set up to run rich right now, I'm planning on getting a full dyno tune done by someone who knows what they are doing since I don't. I believe the coilovers are ricelands, springs don't feel that great but the dampers are fresh

    I have to assume he installed the Adaptronic in parallel with the stock ECU. Do you happen to know if there are both ECU's in the car or just the Adaptronic?
