Genuinely feel like selling my car and just leaving the whole thing if this is what Miata is all about. Really really disappointed and honestly upset I understand you may have to make short term financial sacrifices and miss out on potential longer term benefits. Weigh your options and decide if the choice you made is the right way to go. In the long run, you need to determine if saving money (and yeah, a project car is never a cheap investment) is worth the extra work and addressing problems later. Most importantly, don't let the stuff you already purchased make the decision. Sure it's a pain to return/sell/exchange it for something else, but if it's truly not the right choice, don't stick with it just because you can touch it. |
If things are really that tight for you then you probably need to defer spending money on a toy car and instead invest in additional training and furthering your career opportunities. I'm not joking. This is something that can wait. Make sure that you have an emergency fund and are saving for your eventual retirement or paying off your permanent dwelling. If you are renting, the money would be better be suited to saving for down payment for a purchase of a home.

Cash
Nah dude cash is good I was using it more as a expression of other maybe more important things to waste my money on but after hearing the voice of reason and psi lol I think a larger monetary investment in my build will be worthwhile. I will I’ll be totally honest watched broke and boosted and thought why not try it clearly not a good idea or at least shouldn’t mention the cheapness of one build on here and defo not infront of psi haha |

big dave, you have to understand something about a few of the people on this forum: they have trouble expressing themselves constructively.

What you don't see in broke and boosted is that it's broken more than its boosted. Lots and lots of remedial repair work isn't apparent in the video series.

Yeah had a feeling that was maybe some he case he loves this site. And was watching a video last night where he mentioned how rubbish his manifold was kind of looked and thought I don’t want my one falling to bits and shredding my turbo |

my favorite part of the series was when he scrapped the whole setup for megasquirt and outlined how it was the proper way to do it from the start. But somehow everyone always manages to glaze over that bit
Built a custom sub/wind deflector https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...c17dfa33c.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...d8dc63286.jpeg |
Not sure I would want psi to see this lol https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...b2ede2d9d.jpeg |
Although that's interesting and different...
You're more likely to be bashed for the mouse trap 'roll bar'. :eek: |

If you can grab one, Moti makes some high quality bars that will fit with your top. I believe you can have the option for the logo, and he can powdercoat the bar in a number of colors.

Sweet didn’t think emanage blue could do it still going to run that for a while
To answer your question, yeah, I was one of a couple of folks who made and sold O2 sensor clamps for a while; mine were specific to the eManage series. I stopped building them years ago, because people stopped using shitty piggyback ECUs. |
