Get turboed! (I've given up for this year, with family visits starting Friday).

That and finish repairing/painting front bumper cover and TSIs.

And probably some FCM stuff, too.

Finish my DIY turbo kit, get it installed. Finish the rebuild of my 1.8 and tranny that are sittn in my garage. Retire the miata from daily driver service and enter it into fun time only service.

In no particular order
  • exhaust
    • BEGi downpipe
    • Cat
  • engine management
  • dual feed fuel rail
    • I've got an extra rail to modify, but have been putting it off until I go ems so I can do the injector swap at the same time
  • powder coat the cam cover and whatever else, it's about time to replace the gasket anyway
  • 1.8 brakes, probably do prop valve and lines too
  • clutch, though it's holding up ok for street use for now
  • oem 15" wheels, would love to find an affordable set of the bbs that came on the 95M, but would settle for some M2s
    • Anyone want to swap oem 15s for my aftermarket 16s?
  • RB front bumper
  • naca headlight lid, too bad that guy from m.net isn't making the cf ones like he promised
  • Paint
  • Radiator top plate
  • install speakers
    • headrest speakers, sitting on the workbench
    • door speakers, yet to purchase
    • maybe some 6" or 8" freeair in the package shelf
  • break something so I can replace it
  • pull on a couple more unsuspecting idiots, especially if I can embarass them in front of their gf
  • replace that alternator belt so I don't have to listen to it squeal when I shift with the lights on

MS&S, hopefully if I keep working out of town (2x income) I can get the 99 salvage car gutted, stuffed in my 91, and get buy the fm system.

If I can just get MS in the car I'll be satisfied.
