That is Splitimes,Shlammed old manifold.

OP, I can't tell you how many times I've been tempted to buy that thing when it's come up for sale. I wish I did....

Nice looking car, in all it's iterations. Nothing like a good hobby to keep you busy

cheers for the comments.
Picked some stuff up from ceramic coating today. I had the manifold and rear housing done in flat black. Will post photos tomorrow

in other news, i tested the wheels and wing to see how it ties in. Camber in the rear is still too much for me. I am doing the bushings and diff over the weekend so ill get some offset bushes to put in. That should help

Should look pretty cool when its all done...what are the specs on the wheels/tires?

Update

So over the weekend ive got every thing done that i wanted to With a help of a mate we removed all the remaining control arms and the diff, and today i ran my new fuel lines

The fuel lines were a pain in the ****.. first getting the old lines out, and then trying to fit the new ones down behind the fuel tank :(. Got it done anyways but the hose that was provided is so long so i think i pulled it to tight and need to put a bit of slack in it or its just meant to be like that :P

So tomorrow im going down to drop off the diff and control arms to fit up the New Tomei trax 2 way and fit the bushings and ball joints

Anyways, heres some pics

no vaccum source on fpr?

will need to set it high so you dont run out of fuel...

charlie_91

Yeah theres a vacuum source just havent run it yet.
Update so its been a looooonnnggg day.

But i can finally say my car is back on the ground again With the help of mates re put the suspension and diff back in Control arms recieved new poly bushing with offset bushings for the camber ones as well as new balljoints. The diff got the Tomei trax lsd put in as well

Photos speak for them selves.. Needs the front lip badd as well as the height set properly on all four corners

Firstly set everything out

Finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel

Got a mate to come round and do my cooler piping


IMG_4376 by charlie_2011, on Flickr


IMG_4373 by charlie_2011, on Flickr

Then it was off to the workshop to get the final things done like turbo lines and other misc stuff


IMG_4387 by charlie_2011, on Flickr

Fast forward to the end of march and the car was getting ready to go off to get run in on the dyno.


photo-39 by charlie_2011, on Flickr

That day came and went and i finally got it back after 6 months in the build. Now lets talk numbers. It made 200rwkw on 1 bar with no timing and a lot of fuel. So this was very conservative. The tuner brought it back down to 160ish rwkw on 8 psi to let me put more km's on it driving on the street.

The day i bought it back i gave it a good clean

In all its track attire

So as of today. The car has been taken back to the workshop to get a check up after the 1000kms. There it will also get a new removable rear section for the street. I have a track day on the 2nd of may which im excited about and then after that its off to get re tuned and hopefully make around 210 rwkw

Now.. Some drive by vids

miata39

you aren't getting enough praise for this build, this miata is bad***

Stock

One of my top 3 favorite Miatas. You mentioned the wing mounts were custom, do you happen to have a CAD file or anything?

charlie_91

the actual mounts are pretty easy to make .. its just the stands.. Hold up ill see if i can dig something up

Edit: nope cant seem to fine the drawings :( pm me if u want detailed pics ?

Stock

I've got mounts to take measurements for the trunk/wing mounts, just need an idea of general design.

I think I'm going to CAD wieners into mine....

I'm going to copy your interior now.

charlie_91

Cheers guys. The interior took a lot of work. And a lot of cutting out

miata39
