I messaged Brain a picture of $800 dollars in $50s and pictures of my cats. Lets see his return message....
|
Glad you cut your losses and saw the light. :)
|
Brain won't be easily swayed by money. His collection of cat pictures is worth millions.
|
Damn it all, HOW WILL I SWAY HIM!?
I have the list of parts I'm going to buy. I just really want to make sure I can't buy Brain's stuff. |

Its ok, I deserve a bit of hazing for installing a supercharger. At least I made money off it. If I didn't sell my voodoo box and MSD box separately, I could have made more money. Oh well.
I bought my whole exhaust from a local guy. It is some JDm header with a flex pipe, has a JASMA stamp. Looks like a HKS something. Should go for a decent amount. Turbo shopping spree goes down sunday! |
Just some quick updates.
The header is a HKS super header for the 1.6l and it will be sold post haste. Also, the tacotaco plan is out. I was able to shower Brain in money/cat pictures and convince him to sell me his turbo set up. Very excited. |
Winning! I've often wondered what that T3 would do on a 1.8
|
Sweet and good luck with build!

1.6FORLYFE :giggle: In all honesty, the 1.6 is so stupid cheap I don't think I will go to 1.8 engine. I know its dumb, and its the same reasoning why I first went with a supercharger, but I just don't see the need (as of right now) I can pick up a 1.6 engine for around $300, slap it in and go. If I go 1.8. I would want to build it. |

Then sold all the 1.6 stuff after. |

Turbo parts are finally here! Took some time because of the Thankgiving holiday but it is here! Hats off to Brain for being such an awesome guy. I have never received parts in such a fantastic way. I was shocked at how well the parts were packed and cleaned.
Thanks Brain! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386169385 Christmas early https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386169385 The Chrubo I finish school this week which will give me time to put in the turbo. Will happen sooner than I had planned (pretty awesome). Gonna tap the pan next week if everything goes according to plan. Also, I found a 1.6 with 145k miles on it for $150 bucks. Needless to say, probably gonna pick it up. |
