If I were going drag racing, I *would* get a Fox Mustang.

Real drag machine would be my roomates S-10. But making a miata go fast would be more fun. And *gasp* different. I know I sound like one of those newbs that wants to be different. But the difference is I know that if/when I fail it will be all my fault

Reasonable plan would be this.

Build 1.8
Install.
Bolt up current turbo and downpipe.
Make manifold jig of turbo placement so I can reuse downpipe.
Make manifold
Profit.
My current trubo has a 19t compressor upgrade path if I want to go that way.
@18psi what kind of power difference is that.

That link is gone already.

Comanche does look like fun.

Comanche is my #1 choice right now for 3 reasons
1. They are awesome
2. It will be the second 4.0 vehicle in my household. And I need to get familiar with the platform anyways. Hailey's just broke 150k and I'm sure it will need new something soon.
3. I need a beater truck. I hate scratching my truck. Even tree branches make me cringe.

Anyone need some ABS things while I'm here wrenching?

YES ALL OF THEM

K. What specifically? All of it for reals?

I briefly looked at doing some bracket racing with my car, but the safety regs for convertibles required doing stuff I didn't want to do to the car. Driveshaft loops, door bars (not stiffening door bars, but side-impact protection bars), scatter shields, etc. It depends on how fast the car is, but the ET calculators say that a 350 crank hp Miata is capable of doing 11s (assuming it can get traction), and that's fast enough to get into the significant safety requirements.

I dunno if those requirements were NHRA-wide or just for Sears Point, though.

Oh ****. I need to be quick. What year car is this?

good thing @codrus is here. He is ABS swap master.

I need a front spindle (let me try and figure out which side.) (You should grab all the spindles for selling purposes though)
All the sensors
Rear axles
ABS pump
I think abs lines?
What year is the car?

codrus

If you want all of it, you want:

- ABS hydraulic unit
- mounting bracket for hydraulic unit
- pigtail of wiring harness connector for hydraulic unit
- front and rear uprights (need machining for sensors)
- all four sensors (find the connectors *inside* the car, cut them on the car side of the sensor so you have a pigtail, not the sensor side)
- rear axles (with ABS rings)
- front hubs (with ABS rings)
- booster
- master cylinder
- as many of the hard lines as you can get out
- prop valve
- windshield washer bottle is a nice plus

NB2 ABS systems have the ABS computer built into the hydraulic unit, NB1 and earlier (I think) have it inside the car.

See my build thread here:

Car is 99.
I need axles, but can pop off the rings.
Unless you just want to swap.

Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. The timing couldn't be better. Now that my RS3's are square.

I think Ian posted everything.

I don't need the washer bottle.

I already have 2 rear ABS spindles. I think I will need to find my own front, because NB.

So from Ians list:

- ABS hydraulic unit
- pigtail of wiring harness connector for hydraulic unit
- front and rear uprights (need machining for sensors)
- all four sensors (find the connectors *inside* the car, cut them on the car side of the sensor so you have a pigtail, not the sensor side)
- rear axles (with ABS rings)
- front hubs (with ABS rings) (Really only need one of them)
- booster
- master cylinder
- as many of the hard lines as you can get out
- windshield washer bottle is a nice plus
- ABS computer and wiring?

codrus

IIRC, the ABS computer on an NB1 is under the dash near the ECU.

I edited my list after you quoted it to add hydraulic unit bracket and prop valve.

Ok. First, I need you to tell me something.
Who is your daddy?

aidandj

iTrader: (5)

Ok I need those also then.

Hardlines are a plus. But will be hard to ship. I can always make those for cheap I bet.

Is the 5mm track width of the NB in the hub or in the upright?

I already have 3 ABS uprights. I can find a 4th.

So if you are short on time or anything I need:

- ABS hydraulic unit
- mounting bracket for hydraulic unit
- pigtail of wiring harness connector for hydraulic unit
- all four sensors (find the connectors *inside* the car, cut them on the car side of the sensor so you have a pigtail, not the sensor side)
- rear axles (with ABS rings)
- booster
- master cylinder
- as many of the hard lines as you can get out
- prop valve


Why do I need the booster and master?

Monk's my daddy.

This is gonna make the best housewarming present ever

Shipping will be fun. I really hope we get everything.

I know both @Leafy and @TNTUBA have experience with this swap.

Normally I would search harder. But its my first day back at work after MRLS and I don't have any timre right now.
