Like promised, i am going to make an intro thread ...
My name is Dj, i am 21 years old, and i just picked up a $1500 Na Miata. Here she is on day one ... Attachment 204500 Attachment 204501 Here is how she looks now ... Attachment 204502 Attachment 204503 Plans and why i am here ... I am looking to piece together a T25 set up, MSPnP, and make around 200 HP until i can build/turbo a 1.8 with a 6 speed. This is my other car to toy with so i can have some down time for builds ... Don't kill me , but this is my "daily" :). http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2...lingShot-1.jpg Comments,complaints,thoughts,advice and anyone in NJ let me know! |
go here for new jersey miata clan

I think he's already on the mob. But why would you want a 6 speed? The 6 speed guys just complain about them and want 5 speeds. Having an extra speed does not make you cooler.

I would love to a 3.6 or 3.9 torsen rear with the five speed if it will handle. Unfortunately the car has 200k on it, so im not sure how that trans is going to hold up. :) |
welcome man! Your set up sounds good. miata looks good. So does that srt4.

I was under the impression that the 5 speeds were weak? People saying they keep sheering third gear when boosted? I would love to a 3.6 or 3.9 torsen rear with the five speed if it will handle. Unfortunately the car has 200k on it, so im not sure how that trans is going to hold up. :) |
Welcome! Central NJ here...
I am afraid to post this cause I'll probably jinx myself, but I haven't broken a 1.6-era 5 speed with ~290rwhp yet and there's supposedly around 150k on the trans I have in it now. I am not abusive though, and my car has low torque and slow spool so that all helps. |

If it hasn't been abused and neglected, your 5 speed should hold up fine if you don't push over 250HP and don't abuse it yourself.

Nice looking Miata :D
Everytime I see a NA it brings a tear to my eye, can't wait to get back home to mine :D |

Shore Motorsports is the local BEGI dealer, they can hook you up with an entire BEGI kit (most of the local Mob turbo people run BEGI parts purchased thru Shore Motorsports) or a partial BEGI kit with substituted Absurdflow parts (mani and/or downpipe). Oh yeah, I have always liked SRT4's, yours looks great too. |
