I never see the first page. I think I might have seen it a few weeks ago, but it was worth mentioning again.

In miata related news, my car tried to kill me after the TB set screw on the skunk 2 knock off decided to slowly open the throttle till I was at WOT. It is now JB welded in position so that bitch ain't goin nowhere, but that was probably the most terrified I've ever been in that car. Compounded by the fact that one of the clamps for the reroute hose snapped and sent a giant mess of coolant flying everywhere.

Atleast it runs again. I'm going to hand the car off to a shop to fix a couple of oil leaks. School has been killing me lately and I'd really like to start driving and tuning this thing. Landlord's gonna come by at some point to inspect the garage for a lease renewal so a car up on stands leaking oil isn't really part of the equation here. Oh well.

If anyone in the area knows someone that does side work on these cars (like curly does out west) let me know. I figure there might be someone in the area that races spec and knows these cars well.

I believe that edit was made about a year ago.

hi_im_sean 06-21-2018 03:09 PM

OMG we were waiting so long for you to notice, I forgot. I even dropped you hints over the last year, lol.

Its not gratifying if you don't discover it yourself. And dont let aidan fool you, he knows exactly when it was done.

Oh yeah, I translated his post in my head to, "I've been snickering about this for a whole year and change after I did it."

psyber_0ptix 06-24-2018 01:48 PM

So this is finally done??

ridethecliche 06-24-2018 01:52 PM

I mean.... it runs... and I've theoretically seen boost through it when at WOT because a wired open wastegate isn't perfect...

Second round of break in oil. Don't think I have vvt setup yet. Oil didn't appear to have any shiny bits in it so that was a relief.

Car is gong to be dropped off at a shop or sent to a local guy for the oil leaks and a 'noise' to be diagnosed and fixed before I take off the wire holding the wg open.

Debating whether I'm going to tune it myself or consult a certain forum mod for his services. I'll probably mess with it a bit myself first. Who knows.

sixshooter 06-24-2018 05:38 PM

Ok, sure. I'll tune it for you since you asked. You want ALLOFIT, right? I'll just turn everything up to eleven and send it.
