We have more of an effect than you give us credit for.

Win on Sunday, sell on Monday.

Pretty much sum's up Miatas 1 million vehicles sold, if the Miata had as many cases of total engine failures as this car it would have died a long time ago.

The latest reported DI failure/blown engine report was from a poor guy who was still in break-in and never even had the engine over 4k.

Good news is a free calibration will be shared that should help keep the car away from deadly detonation. Expected by the end of the month. It doesn't add Power or just fixes the crappy stock tune.
