I have to give it two full drive cycles before I can do the datalog for MazdaManiac.
I did a test log and got all my data saved into Excel.
My LTFT averaged -0.16% and my A/F averaged about 14.6
These are taken at 4200RPM in 4th gear.
I should be able to get my final datalog tonight.

Here's a question for the masses. I forgot to mention this the other day...
Saturday when i moved my car (had to put the battery back in, start it up... yada yada), i noticed the the DSC light came on and my "oh **** i'm swerving" idiot light came on. Didnt think much of it, attributing it to the fact the car's battery had been removed and it was sitting for a while. Anyway, i let the car run for about 15 min or so and neither light went out. I hit the traction control button but it didn't make a difference about either light being on.
Thoughts? Figure when i finally get the car back on the road and some miles put back on it, they'd correct themselves but wanted to mention it here as well incase someone might have a little bit of insight on what might be causing this.

I drilled too... a very small hole goes a long way. Jon doesn't like where I drilled mine, but I found the lowest point of the taillight to drain the water out when it recondenses.
I would start with the smallest bit you have and then work your way up overtime to see if the little one does the trick.
I guess after reading BHR's post on here I would buy from them. Just as long as the shipping is communicated with me.
John: I'm sorry, but it sounds like the 7th is the day that works for everyone for the autoshow.
Doc: are you and Jon planning to do plugs this weekend?

Might help to have one in the top to vent air in...but it would have to be somewhere where you can't make the problem worse by letting water in through the top.
BTW...the other more popular fix is to order the newer gasket which costs $50.

Jon + Doc: would you mind if I joined for the spark plug change and any other work you're doing?
Jon: would it be possible to do my kill switch at the same time?
I don't know if anyone has their windows tinted, or has had tinting done before, but what is a good price? I know to get non-metallic in the rear because of the radio, but is there anything else to look for? Anyone know what the max legal amount is?
Jon, when you and I were talking on Saturday, its been just eating at me... "With all the stuff that the previous owner did.... why didn't he get the windows tinted??"
Its cheaper than a flywheel... and I could have a shop do it and not screw it up myself.
