What do you have for a radiator? I bought one of the Godspeed cheapies. It's huge! Still using stock fans, shroud, AC, Intercooler, etc all still fit. The slim fans certainly give you more working room but aren't a necessity!
I'm guessing after all this time and thousands of posts, being this close to actually installing is like getting married - and you're getting cold feet. You know it's the right thing. GET R DONE!!!

I've always had the cold feet, but I'm sooooooooooooooooooo ******* close, I have a deadline with a track day, and the weather is perfect up here. Also, there are 2 people in particular who i want to battle with at hallett.

Rafa,
Have to say I enjoyed the drive more than I thought. Put 2400 miles on the car in 3 full days of driving. Thought I would see more flat scrubby desert than I saw. Lot's of interesting and pretty country out there - plenty of scrub too.
I work 7 days a week - and long hours too. Having a few days just driving was a nice break. Put the car on cruise at 80mph and just go...
Have you done the laps around your island yet?!? LOL
Thanks for checking back in!

And doing laps around this island doesn't qualify as a long trip!
I wish I could drive the NW coast of the US someday. I was in SF many years ago and I found that city and its surroundings out of this world. I'd like to drive from SF to Seattle one day for sure
At least I can say I drove 12,000 miles in 1 1/2 months all over Europe when I was 30 years old. I've never gotten over that one! Even with my wife sitting next to me bitchin all the way because she thought we were going to fast and no one was waiting for us.

Rafa,
Miata isn't the most comfy car for the long trip. Particularly since I removed about 1 1/2" of foam out of the seat. You should fly into LA or San Diego and rent an MX-5. Drive the coast highway all the way to Victoria Canada. Lot of variety and some beautiful country, the redwoods etc. Take the wife, let her complain you are driving to fast again.
Hustler,
With your tight schedule I say get the slim fans, plexi and add to your list of things to do!!!

KJR 50,
Stock Miata motors with 100K miles or more can easily take 24 to 28 psi, 350 to 400hp. Build your car and crank up the boost. Come back when your motors busted and learn how to do a search before posting.
