March 1, 2004: Wow.
The guestbook was more popular than I ever could have imagined. Thanks for dropping in, folks! If you asked a question there, I'll answer it in the guestbook itself.

16" of fresh powder at Telluride meant not much Seven work this weekend. I did get a bit more of the wiring done and I stuck some huge rally lights on the car to entertain myself. They're not hooked up - but they could be. Most of the wiring is now done and just waiting for a few connectors and bits to show up. A note about the wiring - the CMC kit is designed to use an unmodified Miata harness. I could have made my life much easier by simply dropping the harness into place, but I've got some unusual plans. That's why all the extra work. To answer a common question - all the manuals I use are the Mazda factory ones.

Parts are starting to come in from various sources. I've been getting all sorts of help from the Miata community. A box of wiring bits and a 1.6 automatic throttle body showed up today. Another Miata friend is sending some aviation circuit breakers to replace my fuse box to make a cleaner installation and a more accessible box - thanks, Mark! My wiring order from Del City will be here on Friday.
