Safety wire would have saved your CHRA. After what Andrew and I went through, you should not be surprised. It's essentially a one-time $200 insurance policy on a $500 CHRA that will die every 3 days.

Yah I was hoping I was still slow enough that I could hold off on safety wire till I had downtime when it was cold out. Apparently I was wrong.

It sure looks that way after Savington, your's truly, and Lars all had the same problem. After you add the cost of the $120 bolts and $100 EDM drilling to the $400 turbine housing...holy fuck I wish EFR turbos were available 4-years ago.

I want to see a few in miatas out on the track.
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1321409046 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1321409046 ^^^^this dynochart compares EFR 6258 .64 A/R (red line) to Garrett GT2871R .64 A/R (blue line) both are at 23psi boost. It is easy to see the EFR spools much faster and delivers a more usable and faster responding powerband Guys, I hate to say it, but I'm on the fence about NOLA. I spent $1600 on my car since the valve problem and bullshit to get the car going again, I made a book keeping error and was not 1-month ahead on rent like I thought I was, I was denied the bonus check that was confirmed earlier in the month, I had a $400 speeding ticket for 8mph over, I'm on the hook for Reverant's MS2, I survived today's lay-off round, there's another lay-off round the first week on January (so the big-wigs can take December off), and had to pay for a sexual reassignment surgery. We'll see what happens but I'm 50/50. |

If you watch the EFR promo vid, you'll see that one of the development engineers has a black NA, lol.

The guy with the black NA was at the Mitty and I talked to him for a bit. He was also on here, but I believe he sold the car. I also worked corners with a guy who was interning at BW. He was a big fan of the EFR's.

My brother and I will be camping in the trailer.
Car is still in pieces, but it's 150-160 pounds lighter than it was at Hallett and I've got a few days to finish putting it back together. And put air bags/pump on the tow rig, mount the trailer tool boxes to the floor, and mount the winch, and and and. |
