Wow such nice progress. Very good work man. When do we get to see videos?:)

Nice work, car is looking great. Keep it up!

So glad this thread was bumped, I completely missed it when I was on vacation in May. Great stuff.

So did you even get a dyno done? or a quarter mile time? good work, btw...

Sokool 08-08-2010 09:33 PM

I'm going to trying and hit the dyno at a local shop here this week. If I break 200whp I'll be happy to be honest. The manifold seemed to open to top end a lot though. Plan to hit the strip when it cools down a bit.

As far as a video I have a bit of a treat in the making. ;)

Huh, not sure how I missed this thread the first time around. That parking lot looks very familiar- I believe there's a BW3 just out of frame to the right, and a Moe's to the left? :)

From where you started, the car looks amazing.

Sokool 08-09-2010 02:21 PM

You would be correct sir. How long ago was it you were down here Joe? Did I have my car on the road yet? Plan to ever come visit again?

Are you going to Advanced Race Technology in Sarasota to get Derrick to dyno it?

Sokool 08-09-2010 02:55 PM

Yep, that's the plan. Derek is the man.

Sometime in 2009, can't recall exactly the date. I was in North Port for a while, LostSoul invited me up.

Nice graph, at 12psi I'm assuming...

BRITGN 08-20-2010 07:39 AM

+1 on video of this thing moving, with sound!!!

Wow awesome power, I love how the hp just keeps climbing. I need an IM

Sokool 08-20-2010 09:12 AM

I haven't looked at the datalog but watching the computer I peaked about 185kpa and held 175. So realisticly 11psi or so. It was hot as balls so I'm sure that didn't help.

Sokool 08-20-2010 09:17 AM

Yeah the intake manifold deffinatly opened up my top end. Deffiantly felt that with the butt dyno after install.

I'll work on a video.

xander071584 08-20-2010 09:35 AM

that car is gorgeous you did an amazing job bringin it back, major respect.

SlideRuler 08-20-2010 09:47 AM

this is probably the most ambitious Miata build anyone's ever done before. The car originally looked like complete dogshit. I wouldn't have bothered with it, but you really turned it around. Good work.
