    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    I can't remember this part. I'd have to find the vendor and check. Been so busy with OT at work :(
    This is true. I have been meaning to swap the Miata in anyway I'm only driving the truck 'cause I haven't gotten down to La Habra recently. It's gonna be hard to prove. But hell the igniter on the passenger side is hanging with no support 'cause of the way it's fallen :(

    I'd contact the shop and if they won't do anything contact your insurance if you went thru them. Insurance work generally includes a warrant on the work

    Wouldn't hurt to contact them, but my experience is they will only warranty 'covered' repairs, which I'm pretty sure the glass was not.

    Technically it was... But I guess not on the driver's side, only the passenger side.

    When I had installed the bulbs I zip tied the boxes up and away from wires (fuckers get hot) and everything was cool. Last night I saw the driver's side LED blinking on the car in front of me and thought "Aw mothe rfucker." When I got to the mall I jumped out and confirmed the bulb was out. After I popped the hood I saw the igniter box just sitting on top of all of the other wires without anything to keep it from moving. It's probably no coincidence that is the side I took that huge hit on @stvstoy when in Barstow last week :laugh:

    I'll post a pic of where I found the passenger side igniter (which is working...)

    It all depends on if they charged the insurance for a r&r (remove and reinstall) on the headlights. Which i'd be willing to bet they did. They generally charge r&r on everything in that area even if their is a short cut around it. The job is billed to the insurance as parts and labor hours all of which need to be accounted for on paper. The more stuff they say they remove and reinstall the more they make. If they charged an r&r on something they are assuming the responsible for correct installation of it whether they actually touched it or not

    I'm pretty stoked. Wasn't cheap but aside from the 7th injector and calibration unit, it comes with a high flow fuel pump and colder plugs...if this doesn't get rid of the pinging/lean-running under boost I don't know what will

    Any chance you know the size? It's "used" the guy never installed it but lost the hardware for it. I'll send RCI an email as wel but they've been slow to respond in the past

    I don't, but it would be very simple to figure out. Just hold it up to the arm and measure the thickness of the arm at the mounting points. Should be pretty self explanitory
