I hate that 3rd lower bolt on the coils. It's such overkill. I was luck enough to have the engine out when I installed me reroute and pulled that lower coil bolt while I was at it so now coil removal is a breeze with just the two top bolts.

Actually the reroute is pretty easy once you have all the parts handy. Don't forget the Kia neck + the longer bolts. The Escalade/Suburban hose pretty much puts the outlet in the right spot and you cut a few inches of it.

That linked spacer is sooo much better than the BEGI spacer...

All parts ordered from the reroute list. What other odds and ends should I get to make sure I can get it done in 1 go?

ditch the cat - cheap, ridiculously more spool and it'll allow you to run more ignition timing too meaning more top end power.

Either that or take your cat off - knock it out and put it back on. Cheap and easy.

From the skou's cnc adapter post

The coolant spacer is CNC machined from 6061 aluminum billet. It includes a 3/8”-18 NPT port for the heater barb, an M12 x 1.5 port for the stock temperature sensor and a 1/8”-27 NPT port for an extra sensor. The orientation of the ports is suitable for use on a 1.8L head. The bolt holes are not slotted and will provide full contact support for the thermostat cover. The bolt hole spacing is the same as for the stock thermostat cover as well as the Kia Sephia/Spectra thermostat cover (Kia part number 0K247-15172A).

You can order the Kia neck from Begi. I forget the bolt length and size but I'm sure if you dig through the thread it's mentioned.

Something I forgot to bring up. When I was in STR I was running 15x8 with 205 bfg rivals. Am I going to be all over the place with that size tire or should I be fine until I gain some more skill.

I guess it depends on how serious you are about it. The car is going to be in a much higher class.

If you only run a couple times a year I'd learn how the car drives on what you have now. Others will say go big.

In autox bigger = better.

I like competition but am a beginner. I attended every event last year and plan to do the same again this year. My concern isnt winning (I dont have the skill) it is more about having a good time and if I am losing control because the tire grip isnt on par with the power bump I wont be having fun. If a 205 bfg rival on an 15x8 with 227wtq is a decent setup for a beginner then I am happy to keep it.

I guess Leafy would be the one to comment. He has a lot of autox experience in the class you'd likely be placed into. Possibly you can read through his thread. https://www.miataturbo.net/build-thr...chedule-67828/

M8 x 1.25 x 50 and M8 x 1.25 x 75 flange bolts or socket head cap screws. M8 flat washers if you use socket head cap screws.
