93' Miata stolen and flipped build thread
#2685
Yeah we aren't blessed with a ton of autox/race courses in Utah. We have Miller Motorsports in SLC and then Vegas Speedway. We only have a few autox events. Both are about the same distance. Vegas would be insane to even attempt during the summer. I'd probably die from heat stroke.
Trust me guys, I know the video shows me doing a little bit of unsafe driving but I haven't gotten a ticket since I was 17, and I rarely do more than 5 over the posted speed limit.
Due to a HUGE misunderstanding(power complex Idaho cop), while on a Ducati, I was held in the county jail for a weekend with 10+ Mexicans going through crystal meth withdrawals and a guy who had just stabbed someone several times. This has made me a giant sissy about breaking the law. No, the soap was not dropped.

Why the hell do I keep commuting 45 miles each way in the Miata rather than my 1-gallon-each-way TDI.
This car is so addicting to drive. I've driven some very fast cars before, but there is something nervously exhilarating about doing it in a 2100 lb car. Even though the acceleration matches some other german cars I've driven, it is your perception/connection to speed that is skewed. You feel like you are going double the speed you really are going. I can't explain it properly, my brain is fried after a long morning of baking.
No restoration/buyers remorse is present. Having a hellish day? Go take the Miata out for a spin and you'll feel better guaranteed.

Love that feel.

I have LeMans images running through my head of them losing their connection to earth. Can only imagine what that feels like.
Not too bad. There is still a bit of a pulsing feel though, or juddering. Still feels like there is something off causing some oscillation in pressure as it is accelerating. Minor, but it is there.

"rpm < 1500 && map < 35"
this should stop VEAL from messing with those cells.
as 18psi just said, it really likes to mess up the low KPA cells. I added a && tps < 3 parameter as well I think (I don't have it infront of me) to stop it from completely leaning out my bottom row.
