You've had it for 6 years already?! lol

Uh oh, I'm coming up on 5 for mine. Crap.

lol

Did they sound like they'd work with you to get a new one or you're screwed? Did you have this installed before already or you bought it 6 years ago and are just now installing it?

Its been sitting in my engine bay installed sense I got it yeah. I didnt ask for them to give me a discount or anything. It had a long good life haha.

Just ordered a new innovate MTX-L, should last even longer because all the computer bits are in the gauge itself not mounted in my engine bay haha.

Oh that's cool, I haven't heard of that one. I'll have to check that out. I didn't figure there would be much talk of a discount since it was pretty old, but I figured it was worth a shot lol.

Well, as usual, YOU SUCK. LOL Actually I was thinking about going for a drive tonight. And Dan is talking about coming down tomorrow for a drive. Too bad you can't make it.

I don't ever have an idea for a drive LOL. I want to try out new roads but all the good ones are up in the mountains and that takes all day, which I'm down for if others are, but most of the time we want to stay around town. But I'm down for whoever wants to join in so you're more than welcome.

Damn rx7 was running perfectly and getting the maps dialed in. Now it is messing up again, for some reason the rear rotor is not getting fuel. I unplugged the connector for that injector saw zero change in how it was driving. Uggghhh time pull it all out again and check the injector and the wiring.

You didn't make any changes in the computer that would change that? Even accidentally?

Nagh, Just turned it off the night before, started it up the next day. It ran great, made it about half a block then just started running on 1 rotor.
Going to do a compression check after work then im going to just run all new injector wires from the ECU.

This has been calling my name though
