I would love to come but didn't get a chance to get my temp plates today. Dave, the mbcv was in the rite way so I'm going to take it apart and reinstall it.

240_to_miata 05-15-2010 08:24 PM

cool. Let me know how it goes.

My parts came in to do Abe's "NB Input Trigger Mod" so I may build the board tonight. I bought enough to do 2 boards, so if anyone is interested in upgrading to the better input trigger let me know.... probably will take $10 for it.

astroboy 05-15-2010 08:46 PM

Ooh me!

miatamike203 05-15-2010 08:48 PM

Looks like I might not have enough parts for 2. I decided to scrap the one i started tonight because its too much of a pain with the protoboard I bought. I am going to buy one that is already meant for IC chips and has pin breakouts.

miataspeed2005 05-16-2010 03:29 PM

^^^ oh man that sucks! We had a good cruise today, me and chris were neck to neck when we raced, me at 13psi and him at 18psi

240_to_miata 05-16-2010 03:30 PM

Fastcolt Got to see my trani blow. he was probably standing 30 feet away from it when it "popped".

Ghey. Who has an extra 5 or 6 speed??

On a better note... thismorning i raced a stock 04-05 STI on the highway. more or less dead even (i pulled a bit) with my gf in the car.

lol yeah next time you guys should come down to monroe there are a bunch of nice places to take photos the dam and train at my friends house yes he has a train in his yard. lol but yeah you guys where close not bad for a greddy kit on 13psi.

Yea we were! It was a dead heat and I was giving it all she had....I gotta get a mbc so I can just run my 7 pound wg spring / turn it down to 13-14 and dial it in from there. I think I may be out of the efficiency range of my turbo if we were that close and I was running 5psi more. I guess Miataslow2005 isn't so slow :fawk:

On another note, I just got home from booking the wedding spot :bang: so I'ma load up the pictures now!

Here were what I thought were the best shots of the day....obviously there was a shit load of others but they didn't come out as I had hoped. These are compressed photos (1.5mb), so if you guys want the full sized photos (~7mb) let me know and I can email them. I will try and photoshop some of them to see if I can make them look even better...We'll have to do another run sometime soon.

That red sure is photogenic :vash::giggle:

Some good shots, I recognize the old gun factory. The ones at the loading dock I think are the best.

How you know this area?? You are right though, that was an old scope factory.....I think the loading dock ones are definitly the best, I wanna go back and get more!

astroboy 05-16-2010 10:53 PM

I grew up in meriden/wallingford/middletown. I am going to be doing some shooting this week...maybe friday I'll be over that side of the state and we could do some collaboration shots?

Dave, your tune passed emissions! I will have her registered tomorrow and then I can actually make it to some sort of a meet. I have this uber loud whistle when I spool...still trying to figure out wtf it is coming from.

Going to check to see how the oil is doing tomorrow and make all the body panels line up.

http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...ed2005/map.jpg

Looks like almost 16 towards redline....I guess my shit isn't that far off...I still gotta turn it down and dial it in more though. No reason I should be running more boost with a bigger turbo and have the same power...

miataspeed2005 05-19-2010 08:16 PM

^^^ it's weird tho cause 3rd goes from 14-15.5 and 4th goes from 13-14 so idk

Wow. I cant believe it passed no problem!! thats great.

Thanks for the offer on helping with my trani. Im doing it at my buddys shop tho so idk how he would feel about having people over to help out.

miataspeed2005 05-20-2010 08:28 PM

I'd love too...Wednesday is the only afternoon that I have free though. If you do it then, I am definitly down. You call your buddy yet about the dyno?!

miataspeed2005 05-20-2010 11:24 PM

I have the day off Tuesday so that's when I'll do it most likely.... He keeps telling me that he's gonna call the shop and he never does.

miatamike203 05-21-2010 07:05 PM

240_to_miata 05-21-2010 07:13 PM

astroboy 05-21-2010 08:07 PM

I'm drunk so no doing anything for me. Gotta work tomorrow and will be leaving extra early for some pics. How much the trans run you Dave?

240_to_miata 05-21-2010 08:47 PM

650 + tax + a pain in the ass drive to the far side of RI

astroboy 05-21-2010 09:34 PM

Can't wait to see how it feels. When are you putting that bitch in? I have the car registered so let me know when you'd be down to finish the tune. Still haven't figured out the tach and temp sensor...but I did do some resistance checks and it looks like the temp sensor is good.
