Alright here is the exhaust video. I was limited on time so I'll take a better one later. Perhaps with a gopro mounted at the exhaust while driving. This will do for now:

I'll be placing my order tomorrow. Thank you I appreciate you taking time out of your day to do that.

I hate to keep beating this dead horse, but I'm going to work on my fuel tank tonight and I'm still not 100% sure of what needs removed and what needs to be added. In this pic (circled in red) are they both the components from the Miata? I think I have them already from my car and it will be very easy to do what you did. Or are these the charcoal canister from eBay you mentioned?

Did the charcoal canister on the roll over valve work for you? Did your non-vented gas cap work with your setup as well?

Thanks in advance

[steadfast]

After further review, the filters that are used are both from the miata. They work great. No gas smell in the garage, period. As for the gas cap, having the non vented worked perfectly. I would not hesitate to duplicate my setup. I will say that using the fuel filler hose that I used was the best part. It is so flexible that it makes bending it at tight turns to fit under the rear fiberglass trunk a dream!

So what are the 2 parts circled in red? Is the larger one the charcoal canister than normally sits up front, under the hood??? I'm confused.

[steadfast]

Nope, it is part of the rear canisters:

What is the name of the part that sits on the end of the hose (fat circle)? Mine snapped in half during stripping, and I need to know what to look for online.

Steadfast,

It sounds good. But I have a question. Where did you mount the exhaust hangers? I see two int the video for the muffler are they attached to the sub frame?

Okay, I found the part numbers online:


fat circle on on left is: 42-590A
skinny circle on the right is: 13-988

But to be honest, I don't think it really matters.  The idea is to have a charcoal (vapor) canister on there.  I'm willing to bet that any will do.  Link for ordering said part numbers: www.jimellismazdaparts.com/showAssembly.aspx?ukey_assembly=305208&ukey_make=995&ukey_model=14360&modelYear=1999&ukey_category=24723

Thank you Sir.

Yes, thanks for the help steadfast.

It was 75deg today, so the wife and I decided to take the Exo out. I took some gopro footage that I'll play with tonight.







And my picnic table:

Sorry I didn't see this earlier.  The exhaust hangs from the subframe and one of the gas tank mounts.  It works out pretty well.  I can post a picture tomomorrow.

Thanks for all the info. I had completely missed that line behind the wheel well. That's the downside of working under the car at night outdoors in the rain with a small light. You miss things!

[steadfast]

So I'm starting to figure out what to do with my cluster. I'm wondering about using a digital dash. I'll be running megasquirt, does anyone know of a plug/play solution for megasquirt?  From what I've seen, the easiest solution is www.aimsports.com/

[thestig]

I'm also interested in this. I'm going Megasquirt pro and a simple speedway motors 12 circuit wiring harness. I would love to go with a digital dash as well.

Steadfast, let's see that video!
