Ah, fair enough. The FD has been a lot of work.

 

Looks good with the street setup! The skirts and rear flares set it apart from your average street build and the two tone blue/black looks sick.

Much less assuming for when you inevitably dust a Mustang in an impromptu highway roll race

 

I'm so fortunate to have never ended up in jail for stuff like that. I live vicariously through you guys these days because it is safer and cheaper, lol.

 

Jeeze Zak, I would never partake in such shenanigans! Took the car out for a nice joyride and she's dialed. Hitting 12-13PS (low boost track settings) and the power is great. Shorter gears and the GTX turbo coming on boost harder means a hard shift into 2nd has some fun spinnage on cold/dirty roads. I'm sure she'll dead hook better in the warm summer on fresh tires though.

A few more pics just to show how it sits now. I'm kinda digging and embracing the black and blue look at this time. End goals for this car were always to paint it and make it look nice, but other projects keep getting in the way (I.E. that damn RX7).

Tuning is spot on and OEM like, cold start and cold drivability are perfect. Warmup and tuning curve is perfect. It's really a thing of beauty.





Also, I haven't driven this car in long enough and I kinda forgot how sick the 6 speed + miataroadster shifter is. I ******* love it on the streets so far, but I'll have to try it at the track to see how bad 4 > 5 and back is, because that was always a weird shift for me on the 6 speed. But shift feel and engagement and whatnot is just great, and the shorter gearing is actually pretty damn fun with the more responsive turbo. Just a fun setup all around.
