I wish the paint on my car was in such good shape.

MaineMiata91

i've been enjoying your build trying to retain as much as i can with it, thankyou for the compliment my front bumper(came black replacement) has been repainted my trunklid is now replaced with a wingless and my finish panel (new one to me) is at a body shop getting color matched. Your build is amazing with that smurf i might bug you if thats alright with questions.

I tried to create as big a safety net with this motor as possible, lower compression, higher boost, less timing etc. Bug away, I'm still figuring things out.

MaineMiata91

its amazing where you have gone with your build im acutally restarting the read right now and i like to see that your also afraid or megasquirt.

MaineMiata91

Despite being a little too stretched/flush for my taste, that looks really really good.

Just get a PNP version, and get used to it before going turbo.

MaineMiata91

i do have pnp just have to actually put it in, i dont drive the car from end of oct to whenever salt is gone and new wheels are in order probably 6ul's

I don't see a 1.8 rear end on your list. That is something that will be needed, and most likely sooner rather then later.

Ahh I missed that in the list. Check out this thread for a good way to boost your 1.6. He did everything in the correct order and his car has been doing good.
