Widen the search to all of California, you could always fly in somewhere else and drive the coast to your destination. There has to be a Miata available somewhere.

Maybe check Turo and rent a vintage Miata.

Heres a fun video, Id suggest watching the whole series but this one stands alone. Preface: Rob is putting a 13b-rew into a corvette and plans to sneak into LS Fest, a car meet for corvettes and people swapping LS motors into other chassis. He wants to make sure he isnt recognized and kicked...

Im at the point where I was with the truck now. Starts up, idles fine, cruises fine, but transient throttle sucks and it stalls coming to a stop. Im scheduled to drop it off for a tune on Tuesday so I think its as good as I can get it.

I had to get some tires that were acceptable in the rain for the Rx7. Decided on Vredestein Sprint Classics. They are mis-classed on TireRack as a street tire, but drivers have been using them as vintage race tires. Not a lot of options in 13 so I figured I would give them a try. These will...

Just finished putting together this street port EFI 12a.

Hah hah! There were definitely some expletives uttered for sure! Looks like the MR2 will be on jack stands for the next two weeks while we wait for parts to come in. Might use that time to rebuild the distributor and fix the valve cover leaks. I have parts to do the water pump and timing...

What he said. I replaced my CAS seal during the rebuild. I reused some oil filter pedestal o-rings and regretted it...as they spewed oil over the side of the engine. Replace every consumable part you can get your hands on, that seems to be what Im learning the hard way with both the Rx7 and...

Nice! That valve cover is sexy!

Look who stopped by to turn some wrenches this weekend!

Love it! One more photo for you guys!

I am pissed I cannot find the receipt with the part number for the braided fuel lines I ordered for this project. Someone asked if the build was safe for E85 and I honestly couldnt answer because of those lines. Easy enough to redo I suppose. All the fittings and injectors support it. Not...

Are you going turbo as well? My ECU supports E85 and a flex fuel sensor but without a turbo Im not going to make any more power. In fact, Im not sure Id even make more power with 93 over 87. Perhaps once I get bored with the power Im making I will make a second pass and boost the motor. I...

I went with a return system. From what I read, returnless is more of a budget minded solution. It will work, but it doesnt react to pressure changes as quickly, and the temp of the fuel being injected will be warmer because it sits in the rail longer. I thought the opposite, cycling all the...

I pressure tested the whole system with my air compressor before ever putting any fuel in. Blocked off the return line with an -6AN cap and had Amanda under the car pressurizing the feed. I followed the lines and tightened things up. However, while I was getting it to run I did have a small...

Spent all weekend chasing bugs and finally got it to fire up! She runs a little rough and rich and needs to stay above 1,500 RPM right now, but after a break in, compression should go up and I can drop the idle. https://youtu.be/ZlEtxJnHcSs

Yeah, Im fully committing to the red white and blue theme. Been in the garage every night this week. Wired up power to the fan, and started on the new ECU mounting bracket and harness.

Wiring up the battery... Intake is on for the final time with all the vacuum lines and throttle cable cut to size. Test fitting the new fan kit. It came with a shroud but I had to make some modifications. Tonight I need to attach the brackets and wire it directly to the battery. It...

Is that from Japanese Car Day?

I was thinking about the one in May and staying for the weekend, not sure I can make June. Youre gonna s*** yourself, its an insane track at speed!
