Going to try and AutoX the car this Sunday... so I took off the roller wheels and tossed on my wheels with the Azenis.

Doesn't look too bad for a nice cheap wheel/tire combo.



Going to try and tune more tomorrow... then if its still alive... beat on it at the autox on just 10psi for now.

 

Looks good man, have fun at the auto-x. I hope to make it on sunday as well.

 

Survived the autox. turbo/motor/etc came through without an issue. Still have my vibration from 4k-5k or so.... but it ran like a clock.

I have in car video of 8 out of 10 runs. I'm working on fixing video drivers on my computer so I can record them off my video camera and upload them.

Then you get to see me driving the car basically for the first time.... I've done one autox in a stock miata... and then this autox today. That is ALL of my rwd driving experience other than driving from A to B and some pulls for tuning... I'm fighting the cars lack of suspension tuning, 195 azenis (toooo small) all while trying to figure out the car.

 

I was at the Auto-X and checked the car out, but did not get to see it run. There are details so finish (there always are), but the concept and engineering are excellent. I love the idea that the air enters the nose and has to go through either the intercooler or radiator, not both. The inlet/outlet for the intercooler are so close to the turbo/throttle body is amazing, the total piping length must be less than 8 inches. Very impressed I was sorry I did not see it run.

 

what wheels are they mate? love em lol.

nice car, and watched you vids on the other thread, looks fun

edit: erm the chrome and black deep dishes not the 1s on atm hehe

 

They are MSW wheels made by OZ. I picked them up from an m.net person who had them in storage for at least 10years with old snow tires on them. From their condition when I got them.. I'd say they were the only tires mounted and had been used a season or two at the most before being stored.

edit: you mean the 15x8 sportmax 002s then. I feel silly putting them on the car until they get real tires... but I preferred the wife to get the new 205s... and i just stole her old 195s. I feel like an idiot on stretched tires... but the lip and width I do like. They will eventually get a nice R comp or something along those lines... 245/255 width tires.

Oh... my 240Z flares are waiting at home for me... I hope they fit decently

 

Exhausted.. and driving out to family for holidays.

Datalog from the run included

13.75@109 on the old/stretched 196 falken Zeix 512s.

60ft - 2.26
1/8th ET - 9.09
1/8th mph - 80.06
1/4mile ET - 13.75
1/4mile MPH - 108.91

Might have some useable vid... I'll know next week. I'll be mostly offline this holiday... sorry

I trapped higher than I expected... and it has more in it at this psi...with a real launch and some work. I was slow shifting, my first 2 runs I missed 3rd and then 2nd/3rd... it sucked.

So my 3rd run made me happy.

 

wow, that's great for 10psi and a damaged turbine wheel.

What's also great is your MAT, that v-mount is amazing. 94*F in first gear to 80*F at the end of 4th.

What wbo2 are you using, cause the log looks like a flat 14:1 to me....

 

NGK Powerdex

I'm running ~12:1 across the 10psi range.
