Has anyone heard of the name David boles in the spec miata world?

I just compared most of the same items that fab9tuning sells to what 949 racing sells and fab9 is the knockout winner for products and price. I have a direction now.

I've done a short search of items with only two sites so far. And of course if you see anything that I don't necessarily have to spend more money with my selection of items, please feel free to enlighten me with your opinion and point of view. This rebuild is my first built motor and motor I am picking parts for. I have a short amount of time to make decisions and need to start acting. If anyone sees a part for sale that is brand new, again pm me so I can save a little bit of franklins. Other then that, I hope everyone that follows me is as excited to see a new transformation once again this year from a Flyin' Miata Turbo II kit to CR01s to flares to a 6 speed and 3.9 gear ratio. You can only imagine how much I have invested into this car so far this year and yet still have not put in the basic roll bar, poly urethane bushings and Tein Flex rebuild.



I don't exactly know what power goals I'll achieve nor do I know what I want. All I want is to throw a lot at this motor and it be able to hold it. I also want the motor to last and be reliable for DD. My first action is to try to get the best of parts but that isn't always the right choice. So here's the list I have so far, and please contribute.









1.) J E Forged Pistons........................................... ........516.00

2.) K-1 H Beam Rods.............................................. ......383.00

3.) Intake Manly set............................................... ......138.00

4.) Exhaust Manly set............................................... ....138.00

5.) Under bucket lifters supertech shim...........................349.00

6.) Spring Set Eibach Heavy Duty dual spring Ti retainers...416.00

7.) Valve Seal Set Supertech......................................... ...12.50

8.) Race Bearing Set ACL............................................... 122.00

9.) ARP Studs Head/Main.............................................. .229.00

10.) Harmonic Balancer ATI 4T..........................................524.00

11.) Billet Oil Pump Boundary Race Pump...........................549.00

12.) Cometic Head Gasket............................................ .....91.17

13.) Gates Timing Components Blue..................................105.00

14.) 3D Cast Water Pump 949............................................57. 00





I have not found a complete set of Oil seals yet but I am wanting to go with Oem. If anyone else sees what I need that might be missing please add.

I am getting a MSM Intake Cam and I get a 25 percent discount at my local mazda dealership so Im not exactly sure how much it is going to cost me.

Joyfast bolts came in from Joyfast. They will be installed on the painted Valve cover.

I need the community's help because this is becoming a bit overwhelming. I have more respect for engine builders since I'm searching for parts and sourcing them for myself and its getting me a little be of anxiety.

Okay so I have a list that is currently being modified from the one before. I'm going off of another's personal experience with some of these items I have listed.

Supertech 83.5 8.6 to 1 pistons

K1 Rods

ACL bearings and washers

ARP Studs

Super tech valves

Gates kevlar timing belt

fresh valve springs "oem" were thinking that the supertech valve springs might be overkill and rob power because we are not using aftermarket cams correct me on this idea if i need to be directed



Also Please help me make sure I have every seal that i may need for the rebuild. Ive done my search and I might be missing some.

Water pump mounting gasket B6BF-15-116

Oil Control Valve case ???? BP6D10660D

What am I missing besides a head gasket, hondata intake gasket, exhuast gasket.

Car is being sold now. We are go for a FD. But this needs to go first.

Wait, what?

FS thread?

FTFY

No I will make one though

Since to rebuild the motor to what I want I was seeing what cards I have other then the rebuild. So I was think of using that 8200 and selling my car to get a fd. Now I already know they are more expensive for a clean oem turn key.

The color option will be in this order: Montego blue, brilliant black, red

8200 to build an engine?

is the entire long block made of inconel?

Basically a full race build. Weight match pistons/rods, balance the rotating assembly, check and adjust if needed all bearing clearances. Fix any mass production issues in the cylinder head (porting work but not anything crazy as that typically does more harm than good), competition valve job, and set underfollower valve lash

so you either go all out or abandon ship altogether?

I'm not criticizing, because I love FD's, but seems kinda drastic to me.

People around here are putting together 4k long blocks (maybe 5k if you're in a terrible location with no machine shops) relatively painlessly.

Just seems weird. Unless you're just not into miata's in the 1st place and just need an excuse to switch to the FD

I'm counting $2-3k and struggling to find the other 500,000 pennies.

I'm talking drop off a pile of parts and pick up an engine.

Or pay and just wait for it in the mail.

Well, it does seem to be all in or nothing. I'm wanted to look at the bigger picture of things to see where my money can be most effective. They only other car that can distract me from my miata is a fd. If I can't get a fd, then the miata is where my happiness lies. I have had the miata for 4 years almost 5 now. And I already have a 10ae on 15x8 cr01s and jdm Mazda speed wing fully rebuilt motor two months ago with fresh paint. And having two convertibles and an 06 A6 which is going to be traded in for a new A6, the miata isn't on top of my list to keep around.

I can only get an fd if I sell my car first and my budget for an fd is 20k turn key.

Its all good. Post up pics of FD when you get it.
I love the way they look.

It might be a couple months to find exactly what I wish for but I'll be sure to post pictures up

good looking FD go for 15k. but why not put an OEM used engine and sell the miata?
for $400.00 you can get one.

Sold the car. Now looking for a fd. Not sure on Montego blue or brilliant black for resemblance of the miata

I wish I had that kind of problem (Should I sell my Miata and buy a FD, or should I keep it and have it totally rebuilt for me?).

Hope you find what you're looking for.

with such a nice car, how much did they pay for your miata??

I found two prospects that I'm excited about.

You need to talk to my (4 miles away) neighbor.



That's 6 in the first shot, 1 in the 2nd. The red car in the 2nd shot is a beautiful red NB. Need to stop and chat with him sometime.

^ahh yes, the lovely RX-7 house, at one point we will have to grow some balls and go talk to the guy

Why the hell have you not? That guy has some sweet rotaries and I'm sure he'd love to check out your miata(s).

To be honest, that guys house actually looks extremely inviting compared to most peoples yards around here :giggle:

I don't see why it takes balls. Let's just jump in the gaycars and stop in one afternoon.

Cause we're generally celebrating getting one of our heaps running again, whizzing by his house sideways at 60. Who'd want to stop that to look at some broken rotories?

Yous guhys will want to wear your matching leather vests when you roll in there together :giggle:

In for bending over, snapping, walking strangely, and chanting "Miata, Miata, Miata" under our breath. ie: jets vs. sharks.

Nice one.

I should call this the moonlight sonata

wow already got an fd? looks clean

ugh, i love that car. It looks absolutely perfect as-is.

One owner so I'm the second now. All oem. Down pipe is the only thing aftermarket on the car to reduce heat temps and the cd player. Came with all records of the car since the day it was bought.

Had all maintenance done and rebuilt motor with new housings etc. One year ago with 2k miles on it. Chassis has 125k. I plan on replacing all bushings endlinks and shocks in the next couple months if not sooner. The compression numbers came back amazing and just did an oil change today at the dealership.

wow, you must have paid a pretty penny for something like that.

very cool. please don't "stance" it or any of that. its such an amazing car. even bone stock it looks fantastic

Seriously, it's perfect. MAYBE some wheels/tires, and quality suspension/boltons eventually, but NO FLARES.

I won't stance it but I will be putting on coil overs like flex again. I will autocross it to get the bug out of me but that's down the road a ways. My goal right now is to get it reliable which it is but with advice to create longevity for the vehicle and motor. After that, restore the interior and paint.

In for Rocket Bunny FD. :bowrofl:

Very nice, I just picked one up in similar condition. They are great cars.

Looks nice.

MPG?

*troll*

I think this is the last day together

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1410530731DSC02533 by rocketeerbandit, on Flickr

Don't touch it. Sit on it for another 10 years. Sell it for 3x what you paid.

I would do tasteful easily reversible mods to it and do the above

They only body parts I'm modifying are the authentic and proper way of doing a 99 spec front bumper and lip with 99 tails. I will be ordering either volks or works for my wheels and either bc coilovers or teins for suspension. I will be keeping original manufacturer parts.

I like your style. I have similar plans. Reliability mods, oem exterior bits( oem skirts, 99 tails, and a stock r1 lip) and wheels.

these cars are sweet.

Winning

More FD pics please. I keep coming back to this thread for sexualness.

I just performed a fluid change for the transmission and the differential with 2.5 quarts of royal purple 75w90 in the transmissionand 1.5 in the diff.

I had documents that it was changed at 93k and the car is at 126k. The transmission fluid look clean. It might even have been done last year I'm not sure. The receipt though that I have shows 2005 is when it was performed at 93k. The differential however looks like it was never changed. It was murky unlike the transmission. All the nuts came off easy with pb blaster, wire brushing around the bolt, and tapping the 1/2 inch drive 24 mm socket with a rubber mallet. Only bolt to give me a sweat was the fill plug in the transmission. But still I was successful.

Car feels amazing now. Wow. I love gear oil.

the car was professional washed, claybar, wetsanded, waxed, and finally sealed yesterday.

These are a couple shots of it in the driveway which is lame but here you go...

so while i was doing the fluid change i found out that the car has a megan racing downpipe to reduce the heat soak caused by the oem catalytic converter. I also found out that the differential fluid was changed at the same time as the transmission gear oil was performed. I went through the records and confirmed.

and the color... and the curves... and the tan interior... and the stockness...

It's beautiful.

wow

just wow

I'm in love

I fall in love with it more everyday. I'm so lucky to have this car with its history, maintenance, and ownership.

to be honest I dislike the fog lights. and the OEM front lip. I know there is a more aggressive option for the FD, you just have to look for it.

EDIT: Corksport sells it. 99 SPEC (J-SPEC) RX7 Front Lower Lip Spoiler:
http://www.corksport.com/99-spec-j-s...p-spoiler.html

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1410911832

Beautiful car!

Yeah, that black one is better indeed. I think he said he plans to do that though, or am I wrong?

I do plan doing a complete 99 spec swap minus side skirts and spoiler. And the bumper without the front license plate. Yes it's expensive but I am not cutting short.

Corksport sells the JDM urethane bumper assembly too, but it costs like 2000 bucks, it includes everything tough.
99 SPEC (J-SPEC) RX7 Front Bumper Assembly

oooo... without the front plate? In montego blue?

:drool:
