What have you done to your Miata today?

it was pulling fine in front of me, but man does it stink...


Who needs cats? There's room for fine tuning. That's for damn sure.

And whether I liked it or not, I was able to test higher boost pressures yesterday. It crept up to 12 psi, and all was well.
 
Time to decide what direction I am going with this car, and whether I am still going to sell it soon..


Phen, glad to hear you're boosting with less problems ;)
 
I "fixed" my boost issue


It was set to 15-16 psi before the waste gate would open..

So I turned it down to 11-12 and it hits that is is steady (no spike or creep)

Still needs a tuning run but it's running good enough (I'll have to tune before my next auto-x)
 
Now that the sun's out:

I got a great deal on a trailer, for my non existent race tires... included everything I needed so there is now a hitch on the car

Dammit, here I was hoping I could talk you into selling me that shifter Mark! It's definitely on my purchase list.
 
haha...i got a good deal on it too! guy had it his car for just a few months and was selling the vehicle, took out all the mods and i saved 100$...it is beyond awesome!!
 
Nothing. Its been sitting for a month. However, I do need to put tires on it.. Oh and Subspeed6 installed an 01 center console in it..

Yarp. She found the console and I snagged it as well as a top cover for 25 bucks.

Monday I am snagging the white face gauges for her car. The guy I have been dealing with is selling these cheap. :)
 
Drove mine quite a bit today. Remembering (and enjoying) how it's more or less sideways on demand.
 
I drove mine too today.


And due to the angle of the trailer where we were paddocked today, I think I dragged the exhaust and probably knocked something out of line, or loose, as I picked up a pretty nasty exhaust leak. I guess I'll check on that tomorrow or Tuesday and report back. Other than that: super fun event on a super fun course in a really fun car.
