awesome work miataspeed. oct 11th there's a trackday coming up at grattan with the alfa romeo club. i'm planning to go, you should come out too in case you have no other plans.

 

After all the trouble with the local tuner shop, I have been ordering everything on-line. Doing some searching I found another tuner shop just 5 miles away. This place was awesome, tons of parts in stock and some SWEET cars.

I went in to pick up the parts for my intake. Should be pretty simple to build an iso box around this.


At long last my search for the perfect shift **** has come to an end! This thing is freaking perfect. It's a Greddy **** that weighs in at 13.7 oz on my scale. The **** itself is threaded, no inserts. This thing shifts beautifully and effortless. It is the perfect size for me and I couldn't be happier with it. Picked it up for $40 brand new. The only thing I need to do now is to pick which insert I'll use. I can't decide between the black lettering on the silver face or the silver lettering on the black face.





I can't get over how perfectly sized it is. Fits right in my palm.


If it stops raining long enough I should have some pictures of an iso box and a not-so-ghetto intake.

 

That's 5 HP right there.

 

silver on black

love the build btw

 

Thanks. I'm loving it now too. I pretty much decided on the silver lettering on the black face. I'm going to polish the part of the shifter that is exposed to make it look a little nicer. I'll get pictures of it when the lighting is better, too much sun and reflection right now.

Anyway, I built the intake. It worked out really well. I plan to paint the pipe black after I build my iso box. Right now I'm wondering if my filter is too small. I found a post from braineack with the formula to figure it out, but I haven't plugged in my numbers yet. I'd like a more oval one like Begi uses.

I think I'm going to trim another inch off the filter side of the pipe.


Aluminum is SO much nicer to work with, it cut like butter.
