Broke another lip, ordered another r lip to go above the splitter( miata was mad at me cause we went to a vw show, payback). Also I did order my Bikini top on 8/30 still no update on order just says paid on their website. I am hoping that it comes in soon since we have the Staggered Show on the 9th. I also ordered Moss Miatas window delrin bushings so we will throw those on. My newest interest is in the R Theory V1 Rear Diffuser so ill be ordering that soon to put on over the winter. Heres a pic with the Miata and Evo in the shop off my buddies instagram received_10208401901019809 by todd wilson, on Flickr
Not worth a picture since the only one i took was of the bushing. Recently i replaced the window guides from MossMiata. I cant say how much i love these. I wouldnt have known that the bushings were broken in half and not where they should be, with the new ones installed it gives the crank a nice firm feeling as well as removing alot of over bump noise! For the $20 with tax these were they were well worth the time. Little update Monday Project G said the top would be shipping out Tuesday or Wed. as of today still no update but im really hoping it comes in before next weekend so i can have it for Staggered. If any of you guys are going id love to meet some people on the forumn.
What a weekend.
So for starters bikini top finally came in, got that all put on. yesterday we went to Staggered, couple notes on a turbo miata with not good wet tires.
Do not be doing 75 and down shift to third it will break free and go sideways on the highway. Luckily i was not driving otherwise this post would probably be going differently. Besides that it was awesome and luckily Justin is a much better driver than I am. The show was rain all day which wasnt too fun. Fourtunatly they had an indoor show so we spent most the day inside. I got to meet Robert with the drift miata, saw him slide which was awesome and we talked for a bit really cool guy!

Almost my least favorite time of year... Time to get the miata ready for storage. Its been a fun couple months, I'm in love with the turbo setup and can gladly say 6k miles with not a single issue. Now its time to start prepping for storage and I've made a list for next year that includes:
Singular hood vents
V1 Rear diffuser
newtires (205 or 225)
beefing up the struts and springs to fm's koni kit
and what ever else may come.
Heres a few pics from recent one includes my brothers Gen. 20161017_111237 by todd wilson, on Flickr 14650357_1334038886606417_7558194231126864112_n by todd wilson, on Flickr 20161020_111850 by todd wilson, on Flickr 20161020_111342 by todd wilson, on Flickr
Toni's are ****. Do not get them. I love the Tokico/FM Springs combo on my DD. It is about the best DD setup I have used short of my Xida's.
Would you be able to tell me which Tokico you went with? and thats enough bad reviews of Koni for me not to want to use them.Thanks Everybody.
must be the illumina on fm's site.

I just bought the FM1 suspension combo with the Tokico shocks they sell. Was worth every penny. I have ran well over half a dozen suspension setups on miata's over the years. The Tokico shocks are the best DD ones I have driven. My xida's on my other car are "better", but in a different way.

I wouldn't call the knois ****. They ride better than a slammed miata on racelands at least. That said, having ridden in other miatas with bilstiens and BC coil overs, they are.... Eh, ok. Same for autocross and track, they work, but are very much not worth the premium price. (Good thing mine were used and dirt cheap).
Well its getting close to the time of the year to put her away. Since ill be doing new suspension and tires for spring no need to put her up on stands. We did however decide that if we are gonna go with wider tires why let these ones go to waste? Happy Monday Everyone!! 20161113_095409 by todd wilson, on Flickr 20161113_095412 by todd wilson, on Flickr 20161113_095414 by todd wilson, on Flickr 20161113_095417 by todd wilson, on Flickr IMG_6462 by todd wilson, on Flickr
Do I get bonus points for it being a dick?
Justin had fun doing this burnout we were weary earlier in the season not wanting to break anything and have it down but honestly this car does great. I couldnt be more happy with how far this build has come and how reliable everything has been. Cant wait for next year!
i know its been forever and you guys havent missed it, but i finally am getting something done for the smurf while she collects dust for the winter. I recently redid my center armrest with a cushion per Adams write up on his site. Also just ordered the Singular Motorsports hood louvers so we will take some pisc once those come in. Now just collecting info and parts to run my Catch Can setup. Hope everyones having a good winter.
Winter is still strong here in NE, its actually snowing as i type this. Slowly been working on the Singular vents might actually have it wrapped up this weekend. I also got in my ebc green stuff pads and 205/50's toyo t1r. But also came new toys for Justin,Dave and I. We all picked them up brand new and all are now decently modified.
here is to the pics
^stock above Mine is the White, Justin Red and Dave Matte black
As of a week of ownership Justin has done exhaust, intake, tuner, wideband o2 and fender eliminator
We just finished my fender eliminator, stretch, chain and lowering link and i ordered a Hindle exhaust for it this morning
Daves has exhaust,intake, tuner,clutch kit and tons of parts waiting to go on he went a little crazy
By no means will the miata be ignored but i do plan to have a fun couple seasons with this toy as well! Hope everyone has a good weekend

Shes been out for a week, i have a high idle that i didnt take care of last year that i need to address. I know its post throttle body so tb gasket, iac or the other valve on the plenom. But i also wanna get into my ms settings too. But non the less I missed this car it is a blast, six months was way too long to go without drivinig her. I also have tires to put on and rear brakes and fix my horribly loud wastegate bracket.

So its been a while since an update, Still have the smurf and been running well. This past winter we decided to do a wire tuck and booster delete. Pain in the *** that was but in the end it fired right up and has been going smooth. With doing the booster delete had new lines put in and did the braided hoses from garage star as well as the braided clutch line 1 piece. Currently we are changing out the im for a powdercoated one had the opening slightly ported to match gasket size and also shaved the castings. Also recently my used hks ss decided to quit the bed so i picked up the turbosmart vta from FM and excited to hear how that sounds. Will be buttoning it back up tonight and continue to drive her. Other updates include is the pointless galvez customs rear spoiler, fire extinguisher mounted to roll bar, new hvac panel, two step for the flames and to try and blow this 1.6 up. she's running strong and fun. Ill try to update more this summer.
