From my searching and reading I thought there was an understanding that the shroud would only show results in low speed and traffic situations? I would think a big shroud would restrict flow during cruse/track speeds?

It will. Not broken, don't fix. I've got a big rad, AC condenser, IC stacked in font. No shroud for my big Spal and it's all good in stopped summer ATL traffic or speed/boost.

A stainless steel pot, some aluminum stock = one ghetto ass heat shield.

Also found a dude on facebook selling Skunk manifold cable adapters. Really good stuff, I would recommend it over the absolute flexy dog shit that comes with the intake. This manifold is absolute trash, but this piece makes it a little better.

Because Skunk customer service will not get back to me about a new Manifold top gasket. Does anyone have any good RTV/Sealant recommendations that will hold up?

Sebring was a success. Had some power steering issues, but overall, the car ran amazing!

I am thinking the next big thing for this car will be a big wing.

Any thoughts on the Singular wing vrs the Super Miata 200 or 300?

+ 1. If you have a choice of wangs you pick a big one. But if you have a big wang you need to have a big split her.

I would have put money on the trans failing first. Guess I would have been wrong.


Anyone know details on the 3.9 gears? Will they fit in any housing or should i be looking for a particular combination ?

sixshooter 01-07-2019 11:30 AM

AFAIK all 1.8 gears fit in all 1.8 housings. Looks like you need a new housing though.

How did this happen? In gear laying into the throttle, clutch dumping launch, wheel hopping burn out, or other?
Thanks,
Carlos

Yes.

Heavy launches and 2-3 gear changes at an autocross.

3.6 Diff is finally in. Feels much better than the 4.10.

Snatched up some Trackspeed mounts for some aero work.
