Did you include the 1.0uF capacitor on the switched 12V terminal and 0.001uF capacitor between the ECU's 5V and GND terminals and to Signal GND, as shown below (fromMegaManual)?
Mine are configured in Wasted Spark mode; I've got a 0.470uF capacitor on the 12V switched terminal since it was the largest I could find but no 0.001uF capacitors.
It works fine but I'm considering shortening the harness and making the harness is easier if the capacitors aren't REALLY needed.

Black rivets looks much better, standard rivets make the car look "unfinished".

Going for the "Goth Look"?
(or should that be the "EMO Look" given that the car's red)
this wouldn't be a Miata build thread without the use of nail polish
Aidan can always "Go Goth" and use the remaining black nail polish on his nails, then he wouldn't have to bother about cleaning black grease/oil around his nails after working on the car - WIN!

The non-symmetry of how the rivet hole pattern is different than the plate cut pattern irrationally irritates me. Black does indeed look way better. You should still drill out all the rivets again and fix this
