Finally pulled the trigger on a new top & rain rail.... Seem's to be a pretty good deal on a 2 piece top --> Mazda Miata Convertible Top 2 Piece Zipper Factory Style w Plastic Window 89 97 | eBay
Hopefully it's not a piece of trash... I'll report back after I get it on the car. Can't possibly be any worse than what I have now lol.
Also, I highly recommend "Liquid Stitch" to anyone who might need a quick "emergency" repair on their top. This crap held up for over a month, in multiple spots on my top...

I'm planning on picking up this bov.... it gives a list of options for spring pressure's, but I haz no idea what option to choose. HALP! I am thinking I would just need a 10psi... and according to the bottom of the page, all they have in stock is the 10psi, any other spring is a month wait time

Officially have a ms3x on order from Brain. Expect to see 1000 questions from me in the MS section very soon lol.. I plan on getting it set up in my car stock so I can learn how to tune. I just need a car charger and a new battery for my POS laptop.
I also am putting my new top on weekend of10/5-10/6... Can't wait to have that out of the way!

Nevermind Brain answered that for me in PM lol....
So yeah I'm going to pick up an LC-2 asap...
Also.. I had no idea I had to pay $80 for Tunerstudio till I started looking into it, damn ... I need to start doing more research on MS before I jump into this with both feet. I knew it was going to be a lot of work but I have been putting it off for too long haha

The free edition of tunertudio is pretty capable. That plus a budy in the passenger seat making changes. or ALOT of datalog runs + the free Megalog Viewer VE anlyze (free version only has about 5 min worth of data log max).
The paid version give you VE Analyze live (aka auto tune which is the easiest thing in the world). No max data log size. And some other things.
I thought the upgrade was worth it for VEA Live ($60 at the time) to quickly get the car in a derivable state before a dyno tune and the unlimited datalog for track events.

Thanks for the info... I definitely think I am just going to bite the bullet and get the paid version! Autotune sounds right up my alley lol

So it occurred to me tonight....
I am only a bov, injectors, and a boost gauge away from boost!!!
Want so bad to get the remaining things on the cheap but I have went with all brand new, mostly top notch parts so far... No sense on cutting a corner when I've already made it this close to the finish line.. Damnit I need boost!!!
