lol I have a handful of 6 speeds, no worries there.
But regular 6 speeds are not good enough for Mr. Fancy pants, cause his was perfectly fine (before he molested it) and even then he complained that it was "grinding".
So he's getting a baller shot-caller NASCAR spec trans
I can't wait to feel it, I hope it's as good as we're expecting.

Found this video...
guy has a bigger rotrex than me, running a smaller pulley, built motor, flattop, full exhaust and the car is still really slow. I don't even want to supercharge the car anymore. ugh.
GUYS. THERE IS A REASON THERE ISN'T A ROTREX MIATA WEBSITE. ROTREX MIATAS ARE SLOW.
TURBO YOUR CAR.
god I"m dumb.

Lolololol. Now he realizes this. After we all got bitched at for hating on rotrexes.
Do a v8 swap. Seriously. It will probably be the only thing that does what you want. And then turbo it if that's not enough.

That is really weird, I was thinking the same thing. I came across the v8 roadster kits...
ugh. I think I've just not been thinking straight, not driving the miata for so many months. I'll probably enjoy the rotrex, it just wont be fast.
I have to remind myself that the rotrex is just an intermediate build, for a couple years to get good at driving. Then maybe just drop the car off at FM and get a LS9 turnkey car.
Or just get a c6 z06. idk. WAHT IS LIFE ANYMORE. i just wanna go fast and have fun.

The Rotrex is the "I wanna go faster easy" button. Easy on the engine. Underhood temps are minimal. Maintenance needs are low. You don't worry about your brake or clutch reservoirs overheating and puking with a rotrex. If you want to beat on and flog the car, drive it hard, have boost, and not have to worry about maintenance, Rotrex is your answer.
But it's not going to win a lot of street pulls, necessarily.
I can tell you this - having just this weekend autocrossed an NA NB2, compared to an almost identical NB2 with the very same engine with a C30-74, NA is a lot slower. The "torqueless" rotrex is still giving you more, everywhere.

Thanks guys, I just have to STAY THE COURSE.
Mobius, that does make me feel better. That is why I chose the rotrex over a turbo, at least for the time being. I am looking for a faster car, that I can drive hard, and have fun. Do every single session in my run group at the track, and not turn a single wrench.
