It's alive! ALIVE! OMG BOOST, DO ME HARD
 

Tune sucks ass, but it drives. Feels like accel is kicking in, but i have it off, now it seems when the fans kick on it stalls when i press the clutch in ;) At least I can drive it.

Good to see it back on the road. I am sure your are (somewhat) relieved to get it (sort of) running.

it even looks as if it settled a bit, congrats, i know the feeling (sort of)

To the casual observer, you haven't changed cars!

Looking good!

Awesome. I like the wheels and the exhaust.
Exhaust questions:
1. Did you fabricate it yourself?
2. Reason I ask is I am thinking about doing the same. It looks like you used the following:
- 2.5"(ish) to 3" adapter at the DP flange
- 3" straight run to the diff
- 45 deg 3" mandrel elbow at the diff
- 90 deg 3" mandrel bend to the muffler
- something like a 10-15" Magnaflow
- can't see it in the picture but presumably another 90 deg 3" from muffler to bumper
Is this about right?

It's an Enthuza exhaust, I had to get rewelded since I smashed it up.

the midpipe has two mandrel bends on either end, the axle back is simply two 90° bends.

Scott, I thought you sold your car? :dunno:

Go look at that thread and see what the date was.

Looks great, not sure how its so clean, guess that is another benefit of having a garage. Mine is a disaster right now due to pollen, leaves, and other crap in the air. They did a good job on the exhaust repair as well.

Thats bad ass man!

That car looks like it just came of the lot. The paint is amazing for a car in it's teens.

I thought you got rid of the Miata and bought an Altima or some shit. :giggle:

Needs more hood vent.

really like the exhaust

three more....

Well this new car definitely looks hot from the distance at which you took the photos. Congrats on getting back in the saddle!
