did you buy that fender from a drifter?

 

Yes, it is. Thank you for knowing it. Low polar moment of inertia and all that.

We are used to seeing "pie in the sky" build ideas that don't bear any fruit. Please excuse the naysayers if you do make this happen. You must understand the basis for their beliefs your project will not pan out.

I hope it works out, but I'm understandably cautious.

 

He's like the 12th n00b this year to suggest the Nissan z trans lolol
It might be strong, but it absolutely sucks at shifting fast or working well at high rpm.

Also not one, not a single one, of the previous dreamers actually made anything happen. just talk

 

I've seen reports of them breaking at 300 whp and I know the CD009 can hold because many Supra guys are going to them over the R154.

I believe so, but that's not what I'll be using them for.

Thanks, I get it. haters gonna hate

 

There was no report of a breakage in that thread you linked. The transmission reported as being "weak" anecdotally in that thread is not supported by the existing swap kit on the market. Reading is hard.

 

No no no . We like innovation, well executed fabrication, better alternatives and we like conclusive test data. Nothing to do with hating. Well kinda... we hate on bull-********. Until we see something, like actual physical progression, you are no different than the guy at the bar who wants to talk cars. Its usually just bullshit, I just finish my beer and leave.

This place also has a pretty intense mob mentality filled with pretty intelligent people, so good luck.

 

 

I've read other places that it's not very strong but I just found one quickly. I want something that I'll never have to be concerned about. I know with either the T56 or CD009 I'll never make enough power to break them. If that doesnt make sense to you then I apologize.

Yea well I think I've shown a decent starting point. I mean I have arguably the best BP you can build ('99 1.9L, Weisco 10:1 pistons, carillo rods, ACL race bearings, full Ferrea head with +1 valves, ported, oil pan baffle) the strongest Miata transmission(quaife), great chasis components(cage, tubular control arms), great suspension, widebody for 15x12 6ULs, carbon/fiberglass body panels, Racepak logger dash with GPS speed, Haltech standalone, EGT's on each cylinder, Mispec wiring harness.

Show me one person besides Emilio that can compete with that part list. Keep in mind all it need's to run as is is wiring harness and intercooler plumbing.

 

are we supposed to be impressed you bought a car with all that stuff already?

also define: great suspension. cause tiens aren't it.

 

Not necessarily, I'm just stating that it's not like I'm claiming to get all this cool stuff. I have it.

It's no Ohlins but it's the next best thing I guess
TEIN Miata Mono Sport Coilover Kit for Miata 1990-2005

You arent up on some of our cars then.

 

Typed... then erased. You already know pretty much everything, now all you need is Ohlins to be the best.

 

it just keeps getting better

"arguably the best BP you can build"

he's quickly climbing the ladder to fame here guyths

 

We're you planning to actually post a member(s) and mods or just going to stay vague and ambiguous?

Can you tell me what could have been better on the engine then?

 

VVT head for one...

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I've gathered a VVT with boost doesn't make a big difference. It's not like I couldn't just add more boost to compensate for the VVT and this being a race car I don't really need power under the curve from 2-4k RPMs.

 

Hairdresser what helmet do you use and what other safety gear are you looking at?

 

Pistons that make sense for another....
