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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
