How sir, do you get chances to check out all these ridiculous cars? You know what cool ---- I've driven? stuff I owned. Oh, and my mom's boyfriends GT500 once. That's it.
It's like every time I mention a car on my dream list you're like, "eh, did a track day in one, wasn't impressed..." |

If joking... good show sir, good show.
If serious question: quadruple face-palm |

That being said, I would love to track a Vette someday while remember my Miata roots.[/QUOTE]
I don't have the experience of most of you. I have ridden in a T-1 Corvette and a spec miata though. The T1 Corvette was fast in a straight line, no doubt, but I was more impressed with the speed the Miata carried through the corners. Even as a passenger I could feel the tiniest bit of controlled tire slip through the corners. The guy who owned this SM also has a $40K Exige and is quicker in the SM. In the advanced/instructors group he routinely passed a rich, but obviously not very skilled, 458 Italia driver. That's emasculation. |

It's like every time I mention a car on my dream list you're like, "eh, did a track day in one, wasn't impressed..." The same applies to quiet little airstrips and private pilots. A lot of the guys who love to fly light planes don't prefer to fly alone but often no one they know is convenient or interested. If you hang out and talk to people they will often offer to take you up. It doesn't hurt to hang around with people who work places like this either: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1326199417 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1326199417 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1326199417 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1326199417 That's an R8 v10 getting twin turbos installed. :rofl: |
can't be a real working garage shop; floor is too clean and not enough junk hung on the walls
|
ahhh, so it takes friends and interpersonal skills... guess I'm boned... I don't even have friends that have friends with that kind of crap/money.

Murcielago gettin' twins: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1326323660 Audi detail shots: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1326323660 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1326323660 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1326323660 I'm headed to the house. |
Can you find out which specific fitting they used on the turbo oil feed please? They look like PTFE fittings.
|
BTW, I really love how I have a turbo set-up that's equal or greater in quality compared to that $200,000 R8. Thanks ABSURDflow.
