Turbo Smurfette - Build in progress (slow)
I hate to say it but life has a tendency to take things over. Do as much while you can.And by the way how does that diff feel with the 3.63. Still as breathtakingly fast? You do have it in right?

I expect it to feel a bit slower, but I look forward to not spinning tires in third.

Oh no!
I have...new speakers and an amp waiting to go in the car among everything else. I'm still waiting on Abe to send my my downpipe and midpipe back :(
I miss my car.
Then just gotta do all the rear end stuff, and source an NB steering rack for the front.

Still waiting for my exhaust. It's been two months. I've forgotten what it's like to drive a miata.
Things to do:
Exhaust
rear subframe
rear diff
rear axles
transfer rear brakes
new control arms
front subframe
engine mounts
new steering rack
oil relocation
stereo/speakers/amp
Flex Fuel conversion
New sway bars and endlinks
these are just parts that have been sitting around -_-

I've noticed that the Swaintech White Lightning coating is flaking off on the collector. I don't know if I want to send my stuff back to them if it's just on buyed time. It's a lot of money to have it work for a season and disintegrate, I thought it would have been better quality than this.
I may just spray it with Silicone VHT paint, heat wrap it, spray with silicone VHT to seal it, then wrap with foil and safety wire the **** out of the manifold.

I need some rust repair and a good fender pull all around.
The exhaust ships today, it's been 2.5 months since I've driven her.
As soon as I get that diff and the fuel bits in, it gets retuned with e85, and the hunt for wider tires begins. Maybe I drop by RI end of May.
