Greetings! Better late than never.
 
Hello all. Joined the forum some time ago, but just recently became active, realizing I need to become a bit more informed if I expect to keep the track toy happy.

I have a '99 that I've owned since '04 and supercharged in '07. Although I'm in the minority on this forum, I haven't found a group that's more knowledgeable about Miatas and forced induction, so hopefully you'll tolerate me :)

I try to get in a handful of lapping days at the local road course every year, and have been having a ton of fun making my ride a bit faster every season. All was well until September last year when I melted piston #4, largely due to the fact that I had no gauges and consequently no idea what sort of hell my engine was going through. So, after a small engine fire, sourcing a salvaged engine, adding an intercooler and critical gauges, I think I'm ready for the 2010 season.

And yes I have video of an idiot trying to blow out an engine bay fire. That reminds me, I need to order a fire extinguisher.

Here's a lapping video from last year - pre fire.

Welcome to the forums! Good job on the engine fire :rofl:
I'm sure that you can find all the information you need here, these guys know their shit. Just use the search button before asking anything potentially stupid. Good luck in the 2010 season!
