Love the car... props for a thread that lets me start and finish reading in the same day! One criticism.. I seriously dislike the hood spacers :(

ray_sir_6 08-07-2008 01:09 PM

Eagle rods? When did they start making those?

budget racer 08-07-2008 01:15 PM

Eagle | Belfab | 949 | ETD ... all the same.

mx03tb 08-07-2008 01:20 PM

hahaha you guys are funny no i'm a massage therapist and also i deliver the news paper it brings in really good money...yeah the rods are made by eagle but sold through a different company..and the spacers are from miataroadster you can blame them...i'm breaking in the engine now hopefully i should be tuning it in like two weeks or so doing one run on race gas probably with a 60-1 i wanna see 500hp..hehe..and doing a street tune for like 350 or so..it's going to be fun

In that they all come from China? Yes. But not from the same factory or with the same details.

Eagle will be shipping their first Miata rods this week to distributors.

They are "eagle-style" rods, but definitely not Eagle rods. Sorry.
