take some recent shots of your car fagette. I'd post the ones I have but they're like 100 years old. get some underhood and interior shots too so these gays can appreciate "BECAUSE RACE CAR"

Oh and your 9" steering wheel

Why not just run an entire drivetrain swap from a miata? 11 transmissions and you're not even at 250hp.

the transmissions break only cause the diffs age garbage and fail from doing burn outs to from abuse. the spider gears overheat and weld onto the diff pin twisting and breaking the roll pin that holds it in. the pin then works its way out and hits the case causing the failure. the mfactory LSD that im getting is supposed to remedy that

took me longer to figure out how to hook up my droid to my laptop than it took me to take the pics.

Hey Justin, would you post a log of your boost response? Or a few data points, including what gear you are in? I'm curious as to how it compares to my Evo3 16g setup, which is feeling pretty laggy right now.

his turbo spools super fast. so fast that he installed a giant intercooler and 3" piping just to "slow it down" so he could limit some of the wheel spin

Hey man, I have the same issue with my greddy turbo right now and after some research I'm fairly sure it has to do with my altitude. I really want to do a datalog at sea level vs where I live at 7200ft elev, but its not going to happen anytime soon. Anyways I know you live at altitude as well so I figured I'd point that out for you.

My greddy kit hits full boost around 4300 rpm, and I've seen others on this forum with very similar setups hit the same target boost level about 4-500rpm earlier.

I guess it could also be my timing map, but I'm going to make another thread regarding this once i get some various datalogs together to post.
