Would I drive cross country....Hell yeah! I already made a few 1000 mile hauls and it was smooth as butter. And of course a big +1 on bringing tools and a few spare necessary parts. |
sub 12AFR through the needle, and 10 from 1500 before up until redline, pretty sure it was on the safe side.

I thought you popped it when you were drifting while pounding the revlimiter?
|
no. i popped it at 55mph on the highway in 5th gear....randomly lol.

10 psi and it broke off the piston skirt? I would not have expected that to be the weak point. Are you sure that he rpm wasn't too high?

this is my track car for drifting |
sorry, 3 times a week for hte past two weeks it has been bouncing off the rev limiter. i was driving home from north carolina when it popped.
that comment was merely that it is a car that is not babied |
I've done it...no problem. I even did a track day in the middle and set 2nd FTD. 5,500 miles in under 2 weeks.
|
After watching and crewing a 24-hour "Cump-Car" race...I ahve a new found respect for shitbox old cars.
|
Thanks for all the opinions guys. I am will be trying to schedule a time to pick the car up in the next few weeks.

3 pages and no one suggests the only item truly needed to keep a turbo Miata on the road????
|
^ Truth. Rainbow zip ties are required to keep the miata on the road.
|
Haha good one. I will be equipped with duct tape, zip ties, jb weld and other necessary tools for roadside repairs.
|
I used to keep a socket set and laptop handy for every out of town trip. After a few months of zero issues I don't even carry a spare tire on my 45 min highway commute.
