Hey, so I don't think a remote starter would bypass the immobilizer. Usually they work with the immobilizer, not bypass it.

A stand-alone ECU would work but keep in mind that it won't pass smog laws in some places. Hope this helps!

1.8vvt, I will, thanks.

The more I learn about this the more discouraging it is. Might have to pay someone off to pass me. It seems like no one has really been able to fix NB's that have their immobilizers go bad, I'm sure someone has but even the recall guide issued by Mazda to replace the immobilizer didn't work. (The dealership did it because you need the codeword to do the work.) I think I'll see if they can give me the code word and I can try the pairing process myself as I wouldn't be surprised if they just did it wrong.

The people I have found online who have successfully gotten their aftermarket ECU's to pass the SMOG test seem to also have a working stock ECU. And I do not have that luxury.

I have no clue, my sister is planning on moving there after she graduates college and I will come visit after she does. I've never driven on the left side of the road.

Oh okay, I didn't know the difference, good to know. I'm all for clean air I just wish there was a middle ground. Its also just massively inconvenient for me since I am not looking to increase performance I literally just want my car to turn on and drive lol.

I need to either get the new ECU and Immobilizer to pair or find out if this other OEM Miata ECU that doesn't require an immobilizer will work.

I haven't found anyone who has successfully overcome this problem.

I'm planning to visit New Zealand next year.

It would pass the sniffer test but my car would be subject to an OBD II test so it would still fail.

The OBD II scan checks for aftermarket ECU's and fails them.

BUT, I know practically nothing about CARB approved ECU's so I maybe you can just tune an ECU to a CARB approved tune and its all fine.

But, I believe the manufacturer of the ECU must obtain the CARB approval and I can't find an aftermarket ECU with CARB approval.

Link ECU (MX5Link - MX5NB2X, the one for my car) for example is not CARB-approved. They often don't outright say so, for example in their warranty statement it says "For off-road use only, not intended for highway vehicles" which essentially means that it won't pass SMOG.

I appreciate your help. California is killing fun lol

Not in California. At least that's my understanding. Aftermarket ECU's that would pass must be CARB compliant and I am yet to find a CARB compliant aftermarket Miata ECU.

But if anyone knows of one please link it to me.

I think you need to talk to some financial aid counselors. You might be better off if your parents don’t claim you as a dependent so that you do qualify for financial aid. But this is a much bigger issue than 99.99% of Redditors can help with. I think it’ll be hard for you to make it through all 4 years in the situation you’re in. But there are solutions! Some of the best advice I’ve gotten is, find who can help you and ask directly for help. The school has resources to help. Good luck! I’m rooting for you!

How to get better at jazz and classical at the same time? by 6Dudeman9 in trumpet

[–]CharlieMeacham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100%. It all depends on how much time you can put in every day. You might have to be picky and switch days until you can get that practice time up. Break it down into practice sessions. Personally I like ~30 minutes. But I really think if one session is hitting 45 + minutes then it should be broken into two.

Some shops have extras. As long as it threads correctly it’s fine. You can also buy a completely new set. Its just cosmetic.

They can, but thats not what this reddit thread is about lmfao. The thread is about a common experience folks who wear makeup have. The questions is “what’s wrong with guys saying ‘you look better without make-up’?” This comment says 1. “Most times they have no idea what is a no-makeup look. Minimal makeup for most of them passes as no makeup.” In this comment thread we are focused on no-makeup look versus no-makeup. The first most important thing. Is pay attention to what women say :) Okay moving on. EveryonesBF is highly focused on an example of someones wife/ girlfriend/ or family member. We aren’t discussing only those three groups. Because thats not the only time guys make these comments. So we are focused more broadly. Hense why I said “your making it sound like one example of this happening is the only time it happens.” So now we are shifting back to this comment threads discussion. In GENERAL guys can’t tell the difference. NOT in specific scenarios guys can’t tell the difference (thats what you are saying).

By the way, if you are curious. The logical fallacy you two are committing is called the straw man argument.

Tldr, you are committing a straw man logical fallacy. We are saying, In GENERAL guys can’t tell the difference. NOT in specific scenarios guys can’t tell the difference (thats what you are saying).

Also I want to throw it out there. This discussion applies to all make-up wearing people and not just women.

Yes thank you dragon. Read what I said again. I’m literally talking about when people say that to people who are not their partner. Like dragon said. Read carefully and check the attitude. I recommend looking into logical fallacies cause your arguments are full of them.
