I've always looked up to your car for inspiration. Glad to see everything coming together again!
Thanks! They're just some generic LEDs from amazon. Probably one of the first results that come up. The reverse lights have a little projector lens on the bulb

I finally got my singular hood vents back in! I've been waiting on a new intake elbow so I can vent my BOV and I still need to get my catch can set up but I've been loving driving this thing now.

Did you run some autocrosses at NOLA last year? I recognize your car, it really looked great with that garnet color. Sorry for your loss but looks like you're doing good things with the blue!

Ugh, Strato blue is my favorite miata color.

Car looks fan-*******-tastic.

Yeah I did a few autocrosses with NOLA and CENLA. I'm going to the track night at NOLA on April 13th too. Yeah it was a minor setback but I've still got big plans!

Cool man might see you out there if schedule works out! I'll be the red MSM with Blackbird spoiler.

Gah, every time this thread gets bumped, it makes me miss BR. I am going to check the NOLA schedule and see if I can make any track days this year.

It's been a while since I updated this thread and I've made a few changes. I got a set of flow force injectors, dw200 fuel pump, DIYAutotune EBC solenoid, and supermiata sway bar kit.





I got some gold foil tape and wrapped the intake box and turbo heat shield. Not sure if it actually does anything but it looks kinda cool. I also relocated the wastegate signal to the intercooler outlet to get rid of the boost spike/taper I was getting while trying to set up the EBC.









I have the EBC tuned decently well to hit 13-14 psi by 3500 rpm and hold it there pretty steady. I'm really happy with the power it's making and the track night was an absolute blast. I had an amazing time and the car did everything well. I'll need a PS cooler before the next event but I'll definitely be out on the track again soon.



I had the stock wheels on because I realized right before the event that my tires were bald from having a bad alignment for too long. Lucky for me, they had brand new sport comp 2s and they were surprisingly good for 300tw tires. The car just gripped every time I thought I overcooked a corner and it was really well balanced and flat thanks to the sway bars. Hopefully I'll be getting a set of 200tw tires soon for the Advantis.

Hey man, just wanted to pop in and say i'm glad you got another car up and running.

<-- The louder of the two 2000 SEs that parked next to you thinking you were another 2000 SE.
