New sponsor!
 

Better late than never, right? Flyin' Miata is now a sponsor of Miataturbo.net. I'll be hanging around the forum as well. I'm not quite a newbie (I've been part of the Miata online community since early 1994, I think) but I'm new to MT.net.

As with other forums, if you have a direct question for me or FM, drop me an email at keith@flyinmiata.com or give us a call. When we get busy, I always answer emails and the phone but don't always get a chance to check the forums and it's possible to miss something.

welcome-officially

Welcome!

Welcome!

I've got to give you credit, btw, for NOT just slapping a muzzle on that 1600turbo kid. Was a very enlightened position you took on that bit o' nonsense.

Finally lol, I still have fm as my internet homepage for about 2 years now, love looking at the deals of the day everyday something to do, and i think i have been through those pictures about 3-4 times, oh ya welcome lol

great year

sweet.

now maybe the masses here will stop the blind hatred

Welcome - Oh - and don't forget to post your non-boosted projects in the NA forum! ;)

I vote a name change: Miataz = Miataspaz :giggle:

Welcome Finally!

Welcome Keith and FM. There are still a lot of people here looking for package solutions or some variance between package and DIY.

Canadians cant vote. Stay on topic.

Now we can give him shit AND get his opinion on stuff...yay.

Seriously though, welcome to the forum.

MT.net can go places now...

We can now double our hatred toward PC Pro dude.

I have some sways that were a pretty sweet price during the moving sale. They get a thumbs up from me for that.

Welcome to he forum man. How's the Targa?

chad, have you read his targablog? pretty neat stuff.

by the way keith, whatever happened to those crazy roller throttle bodies??

<strokes white cat>
We've been expecting you Mr. Tanner. Please pardon my silent friend with the flux core welder.

<continues stroking cat>
You are a most extraordinary man. To whom do we owe the pleasure of your company? The Great Cheese Hound? Her Majesty, the Queen of Speed perhaps?

I hope you'll find our low-buck**, DIY community to your liking.
<throws cat into tank full of piranhas>

Do you have any clever last words?

:giggle:

**except y8s, he's a total baller

Yeah, it's pretty awesome. I was considering removing the seat mounts from the floor board the same way he did, that is the last resort.
For those who don't know what i'm talking about:
http://targamiata.com/

I was also impressed with the stance you took on the clubroadster thread debacle. Glad to have you around here Keith.

Yeah, i have the targamiata site in my bookmarks. It's one of the sites that is giving me the intestinal fortitude to attempt a DIY paint job on my car.

How's the paint on the targa holding up Keith? :)

hey mazdilla dont call us all low-buck! i spent a lotta buck getting my car to where it is.

Thanks for the welcome, folks.

The Targa paint's holding up pretty well. During some off-course testing (I wasn't driving!) the bottom half of the nose got scraped up. Easy to respray and you can't blame the paint. In the same incident one of the front fenders caught on a tire and took a bit of paint off the lip. I know it's there but nobody else has noticed. I'll touch it up with a brush. I sure bit off a big bite for a first paint job, though. About the time I was masking for the cyan stripes, I realized how crazy it was.

Cutting those seat mounts out was fairly extreme, but it was the right answer to the problem I was facing. I have a tall torso (sounds better than saying I have stumpy little legs, doesn't it?) and I wanted to be upright in the car to see as well as possible. In a car with a less intrusive roll cage and a seat that puts you lower than the Corbeaus do, it probably wouldn't be necessary.

I have the same problem. I'm 6'0" with a 30" inseam. lol. I find most aftermarket seat just sit you up way too high.

Ya im poor me no like periods they bloody :D lmfao

Fixed :inout:

You are the biggest postwhore I've ever seen. I doubt you'll be here much longer.:fm:

Edit: Lol, like I said, already banned.

:bowrofl: yeahh..........about that.

Hi Keith. I have your books so that makes me your instant friend right? Welcome here.

You should come to the Delaware dyno day on April 5th and bring the FM Westfield. That would score FM some major instant pointage.

Seconded.

Have Jeremy tag along as well. He can show us what he can do with the Hydra at sea level. I know some of us will be there with the Hydra. :)

Delaware? Guys, we're in Colorado! If we're going to tow the Westfield 4000 miles (that's about $1400 in gas alone), there's going to have to be something a lot more exciting than a dyno at the other end. We will have it in Atlanta for the Mitty though.

How about we throw a big party for everyone at our place? We can have a track day, ECU tuning classes, free food, great roads, a chance to check out the shop...

dont be lazy. it's only 2000 miles to drive there. just grab lunch in breckenridge and head out on 70. you can nap in omaha.

We all know you are in Colorado and are moving to a new shop. Great roads huh? Have you ever been to Delaware? It's freakin awesome. Some of the on-ramps even have a slight bank to them. Think you have scenery? Please...the delaware quarter is so much cooler than the colorado. Has it even come out yet?

FYI, besides having a dyno at some hole-in-the-wall mustang shop (nicest guys ever though), we will have hotdogs. Supposedly. I'm not quite sure who's paying for those yet.

What is "the Mitty" in Atlanta?

:dunno:

welcome to the forum keith, last time i talked (emailed) to you guys was whether i should start turbo-ing my miata at all:bigtu:

Welcome FlyinHomoCar,

I bought your deal of the day today just because it was a fair deal and you are a sponsor of this site. Hopefully it will help you recoup some of your cost for the sponsorship..

P.S. Don't Tell Jason he might eff up my shipping because of the Douchebag comments..

P.S.S. That was a joke..

P.S.S.S I’m afraid to come out there for your party because he might hit me. I’m old, fragile and break like a Ford.

oh hey while we've got a new sponsor thread for FM, I have gotta give this feedback:

Keith, I recall you were doing the website stuff. one thing that's always been awkward to me was the way the "back" and "next" interface works on the "latest updates" photos for the projects in the shop.

I like to read them from oldest to newest but the << and >> seem counterintuitive to me.

What's more, the westfield site is the opposite way. (in my opinion, the right way)

anyway, i've always wished that >> would go to the future and << to the past. like the tape deck in your land rover...

ok that's all.

lol. I'm glad i'm not the only one who found the arrows counter-intuitive.

The Mitty Historic Sports Car Race is the shit, though it has gotten to be a bit of a PITA with all the people that have been showing up the past few years. Makes my 10 minute ride home from the track take more like 20 minutes. Bastards.

It would be cool to hook up and at least grab a beer, if not an actual meal, with anyone who comes this way for the event.

Tape deck in the Land Rover? :giggle:

I've made a change, hopefully it will be more intuitive. You're right, it was a bit off.

WTf where is P when you need him :rofl: I hope we rub off on you guys abit keith GL man

wow the things I miss because I am on online as much anymore.

Welcome. Hopefully you can help us and we can help you.

Enjoy your stay :)

This doesn't sound like fun. As much as I like some of the people here, I don't want anyone rubbing off in me. :)

8 track? two knob analog AM only?

older/newer is much better, thanks!
