Behold. The most expensive part on the car haha.
Comes with an adapter loom, which required a few changes to work perfectly. Still in prototype stages, however I have been offered a completed sealed loom when it is ready.

Emily, are you saying you have a prototype adapter loom for the E1500 to fit the SE? And that Haltech will be releasing a production version in time?

Yeah, there were several significant changes made to mine by Dann during the tuning. Haltech have recorded the changes, and I believe they will be selling a PnP loom loom/ecu soon

I miss it sometimes and was half tempted to buy it back haha, but the SE is coming along really nicely and I want to stick with it for a little while longer haha.

But surely not for that money. Wish I had bought your red one

Thanks for this info. People may have seen some of the issues I had with a Haltech PS1000 on my SE. I'll now be talking to Haltech about why they left me high and dry whereas they've sorted issues for other people.

I'm betting it was a case of the installer doing a LOT of the legwork figuring out what was wrong/needed and a LOT of back and forth conversations with Haltech to sort it out.
The more information you can provide the better, Haltech (and most companies) just don't have the manpower to handle all configurations and figure out all issues so they typically target specific vehicles and models, especially for new ECUs - MX5s would not be considered a big enough market to make them a priority for ECU manufacturers so it's up to individuals to get them working.

Hmmm. Haltech and the installer both said they had plug and play kit specifically for an SE. They were wrong, by an enormous margin.

Lokiels is 100% correct, none of this would be even close to possible without Danns countless hours of work making the necessary changes.
There are still some issues, I will be dropping it back to him soon for some tweaks.

The issues with the PS1000 were 2 wires in the wrong spot.

2.

If it caused a tonne of headache your tuner was lazy or uneducated.

Both of the above, and got no help from Haltech. Didn't think the installer asked them properly so I prompted Haltech to contact him diplomatically. With hindsight I should have had him restore the car to standard and refund all the money after he'd spent the first two months failing to get it right.

Dave, you want a horror story, read this: http://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=584542

But, back on topic: Emily, when are we going to hear more about the car? We're hanging in suspense over here!
