lets say you had 2 miatas, a spare motor and trans and turbo stuff...
 

I have a pretty nice 1991 with good paint and interior, its pretty much tip-top. I just picked up a 1995 which is about 5 different colors, the interior is kind of tired. Both cars have a good rear end, both frames are straight, and both run well, but one is really ugly. I bought the ugly one to daily, temporarily, until I can afford an ls600h.

I'm thinking about taking the ugly 1995 and making it the track bitch with the big motor, painting it an annoying color, and generally not giving a fuck about it, the way you should feel about a track car. I'd have to buy another mspnp and a roll bar.

any thoughts?

which one is faster? Drive that one.

i think you should be banned for a week with the condition that you are allowed to return when you've done something.

+1 :giggle:

If I weren't on the west coast for work, I'd be in Dallas with one of those cars disassembled.

since Katrina hit in '05, I've been at my apartment for roughly 5-months on and off. I might have a desk job lined up when i get back home after this trip though.

I mean fuck, since Jan1, 2008 I've done 2-2 week trips to Louisiana, 2 weeks in SanFrancisco, 1 week in DC, 1 week in Miami, 2 weeks in Little rock, and now 2 weeks in Seattle. Before that I did 9-months in New Orleans, 6-months in Santa Fe, 9 months in Oklahoma City, and so many little trips in between that I can't count. I'm tired.

This is what happens when you're a power-player, and get shit done. Take notes, bitches.

However, now I'm off to go chase pussy in downtown seattle.

It would be a shame to not boost the green one. But it would also be nice to have a track car with a body you don't care about.

Personally id put the nice motor in the nice car, but I don't go to the track nearly as much as you do.

i like the hood ride better lol

its too late to apoligizeeeeeeeeeeeeee, its too lateeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee whoa ooh oahhhhh

If you spent as much time working on your car as you do excuses you'd be doing smokey burn outs instead of smoking pole.

"This is what happens when you're a power-player, and get shit done. Take notes, bitches."

Actually being a member for 2 years, putting up 4500+ posts and still not having a pressurized car pretty much means you AREN'T a power player and you AREN'T getting stuff done. (where's that beating a dead horse icon anyway?)

Send the Hood ride to someone with all the stuff you've aquired and get that thing stripped out and built. You could be tracking it in a month and make the pretenders in the big bucks cars wonder why they just got thrashed by a beat on chick car!

Question - you want the hybrid why?

Because I'm out of cash and have to do the labor myself. I wouldn't buy the hybrid, its too much cash. However, its pretty baller. I'd like to get the diesel accord coming out, but we'll see what happens.

its pretty fucking hard to work on a car when you're 1300 miles from it.

I would put the expensive motor in the car you are actually going to keep. Otherwise you will sell a good car. Then keep one you don't like. But if you are going to keep both. It would be an easy swap for the 95. And your daily driver would have great gas mileage, and be totally dependable.
And you would have a spare 1.8 that you could give me. Lol. Lol.

It is kinda funny that I have a spare 1.6 motor and tranny, and two miatas as well. Lol

Which reminds me. I need to sign off and get my MS tuned. It is so hot though.
Mabe I'll lose my keg'o love belly.

If hustler wasnt such an e-thug I'd ban him now....it's getting retarded now.

What would it take to be able to use your mspnp9093 on the 95 model? You were going to put a 1.8 in a 1.6 car. Can you just use a 1.6 wiring harness on the 95. Or would it just be problems?

I would just pick a direction and stick with it. I have spent $$$ on bandaids and then switched to ms. Now I have a bipes, FMU, and a MSD boost retard. And two sets of 550cc injectors. I traded for the injectors though. But anyway, I have a good start to DIY turbo the other miata.:)

Out of cash? What the heck are you spending it on if you're on the road all the time? Hookers and special K?

I have a really old house dog. It does nothing but sleep and walk slow.
I just asked my girl if I could rename it to Turbo dog..LOl. She said that dog isn't turbo.
I said it is like my turbo. All it does is set in the garage floor. hahahhaha

ship me the short block from the 95....

Try 9000 miles away, and I am home less then 35 days a year. I plan ahead; I have all the parts I plan to install waiting when I get there. And yes, some jobs I farm out. My free time is worth more to me, then most shops hourly rate. YMMV

You already have an ugly color car why would you want 2?
just build them both to 400 whp and do your best to demolish teh track with them. when one lets go you will have a spare.,

variable rate student loans. If I weren't drunk and high throughout college, I probably wouldn't have 18.9% vAPR on loans right now.

I planned on putting everything in over the last 2 weeks, but the god damn subaru broke so I had to buy this additional car to daily while I build the green one. I plan on taking my green car to the garage when I step off the plan on saturday, getting the 95 to daily, then getting that motor in next week. I just don't have any cash for dyno time right now, but I'll get a good road tune at 5psi or so for the next month, then put down 300whp (turn it back to 250whp), deal with whatever cooling issues arise, then rape and spit at Hallett with FTD at Miatas at Hallett.

lol wtf, how much do you still owe?

$54k. I pay $861 per month right now. I was paying $480 per month this time last year. I should have scored a loan for a house, rolled loans into the mortgage, forclosed, and let obama pay for it.

holy shit, glad i almost have mine paid of $5700@5.3%:giggle:

but seriously why don't you roll it over into an after-school loan. bankrate.com show show after-school stafford at 6.8%

Track rat the new ugly car with the BEGi kit and built motor.
Greddy the green car and keep it as a <6psi DD.

Now that I've thought about it for a day, I only need one miata. The green car will get everything and I'll buy a respectable daily when I have the money.

How long will you be intown? Any free time? :)
My car is loading up bad. I need a street tune.

How much does your guy charge for dyno hrs. Rotary performance said they would rent out theirs out for 75 hr. I don't know what type it is though. Let me know if you wanna split some time.

I'm going to daily it for a while, so its not for sale. I just bought it last week anyways. I have to pimp that shit for a while first. Its going to be awesome to holler at bitches from the ugliest car on earth...lol.

Cool. There is nothing as funa as a car you don't mind ragging. Except two drunk hookers and a package of trojans.

It works. Every woman wants a bad boy. Someone to piss off dad.

since I was on the subject in here and I don't feel like starting another thread on it...once again I have to put off the build. I just found out that OK requested me again for a long-ass-time. So now hopefully I can fly home on sat morning and do the swap and turbo install on saturday and sunday, then make a maiden voyage in the turbo car from Dallas to Tulsa (with a full toolbag), while tuning on the fly. Then get the car to a dyno so I can have my car ready for Miatas at Hallett...lol.

turbo beater and lightweight it and buy earplugs but feed it nice suspension and wheels/tires. everyday it and track it and autox it.

sell green baby but give top to beater :p

can we try that again in english please? I'm keeping the green car, its perfect, just like my body.

sell one of those pieces of shits and get some boost already.

I have to drive one while the other is broken down constantly from the turbo.

I'm free on friday afternoon, sat, and sunday...oh, and monday too. Bring it out and we can get it running pimp-tight.

Sweet...
I work 6:30am-7:00pm at the hospital Fri. sat.& Sun. I am off Mon.
I drove it to work today. I had forgot to put my K&N back on. I was so pissed.
Anyway, I think I have a ground issue. The ecu grounds are not on the motor by the cas. I found the wiring harness went to the fire wall. I grounded it there. But now my speedo is going crazy. I might have to get the book out and switch it to stock location tonight. I have the next two days off. So I'm going to try your settings and get the injectors and Iat sensor in.

You never know, we might get the snail on your car.

Ground issue will not cause the speedo to do anything funny. If it did you aren't driving a Miata.

i still have to find a cherry picker and a load level. Then I can roll. I'm swapping motors out in Irving, but I live in Lewisville.

Cool, I live in Irving. I had a number to a guy who used his once and wanted to sell it for $125.00.

I take it the miata uses a cable, instead of electric. I was woundering about that.
