There's a guy on craigslist selling a 5 speed. I realize craigslist is not a preferred source, and it's unclear from is ad whether he's pulled it yet, but I thought I'd throw it out there. https://tampa.craigslist.org/psc/cto/6070309433.html

Just picked up a 5spd from Ben's Used Miata Parts in Port Richey- conveniently located on the way in to Tampa. Dropping the car off, parts store then beer.

I would have given you one for free because. I didn't know you needed one.

I'm up for both nights. Friday at Coppertail Brewery at 7?

Ryan_G 04-06-2017 08:43 PM

Friday at 7 it is!

sixshooter 04-06-2017 09:02 PM

You guys should pm your phone numbers to me in case it's needed.

I just saw a shitty looking slammed NA on factory NB wheels on a flatbed wrecker heading away from Tampa on I4. Clubroadster folks must be in town.

Would've been fun to join you guys but all flights were booked. Take lots of pictures for me :)

Flatbed crew checking in! We left Fort Myers with 9 cars this morning and 3 broke down on the way. Not exactly great odds for a 150 mile drive. :bang:

I take it you didn't make it.

sixshooter 04-08-2017 08:01 PM

I didn't see pdexta.

Getting beers at 81Bay Brewing Company tonight. Lemongrass chocolate stout.

Had a great time, but I'm wooped. Got my taillights kicked good! But it was awesome meeting Lars!

Car didn't make it, but I sent it home on a tow truck and rode up with a friend.

I just made it home. Was a good event. Thanks for all the help from the local guys. Do events by my self is a pita, and I couldn't have done it without the help. I heard it was between 600-700 miata's. Met a lot of people, and Hyper wants a grudge race. Even sold an NB setup to levnubhin's dad.

Hopefully you and your new exhaust made it home.

There are 3-4 video on youtube now showing off what all was there. I saw and talked to probably a dozen people from MT. Some car's were haggard as hell, others were really clean. Saw a nice 1.6 making nearly 400whp and only runs 12's in the quarter mile, I laughed a little at that.

18psi 04-10-2017 10:31 AM

Yeah kinda figured the normal folks like you didn't get into that crappy video cause your car wasn't stanced and dysfunctional enough lol

My car and tent are briefly in the video I posted at about the 1:56 mark. I had zero time to clean the car before the event which made me a bit sad. All night last week I was busy either welding or making setups. The NB setup that I sold to levnubhnd got finished about 8pm on Thursday.

I talked to the Kevin@Exomotive about getting setups build for those. I also talked to a guy with a clean KSwap who now wants some boost. So it is very possible that I branch out some and start offering up more setups.

That's really cool. MKTurbo for the win
