miatas wouldn't have struts... fwd or not

 

Nice intro post, and nice car

Welcome to the forum

 

Entered this thread with trepidation, but I like it. Clean.

Paint the front bumper and grill red, though.

 

thanks guys, yeah just having some fun with the title.

 

Needs more miata, or less chick car.

 

whats so chick, lol? I try to keep it sleeper an unsuspecting..

 

Dude I approve. Do want.

 

Very interesting/unusual car with very interesting parts.

I expected a fail thread when opening it, but you have definitely not disappointed.

Nice work. Too bad its fwd

 

I was definitely expecting the dyno picture for the 17th time, I would've wanted to punch a baby

 

Me too lol
I was like "If its the burgundy miata strapped down to the dyno incorrectly I'm going to flame OP til my fingers bleed"

 

I don't usually comment on noobs' rides because many of them are raging heaps of ****, but this car looks pretty damn good. Would look better with at least the bottom portion of the front bumper painted red to match the rest of the car, but it's got 4 doors and I can overlook the FWD, I'd rock it for a DD. Nobody would expect that car to be even remotely quick, so the sleeper factor is high. Me likey.

 

I like sleepers.

Put your location in your profile so it shows up under your name. Somebody here might be local to you.

Do you have a dyno graph or some timeslips from the track to share?

 

i'll bet u get some wtf!? looks from the sentra se-rs'.

 

I get "paint that damn bumper" alot lol. someday..

No dyno or track times. right now running 15psi daily driven and it hauls ***. i dont brag, but it defiantly puts a frown on many v8 owners faces. i call it the **** block machine...l0ol

 

What's the story with that clutch pressure plate? KL plate with a BP/Miata flywheel? Huh?

 

yes, the clutch is a ACT street/strip disk and HD pressure plate for the probe/mx6 V6. the PP has higher tq capacity than the miata and protege PP, according to their site.

flywheel is from the 99 miata, which is 17lbs stock vs the early bp 20lb iirc.

heres a few pics I took when I was installing it all..

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Sweet car man nice job
