Bought the car off ebay about 2 years ago. Crashed it drifting, made the decision to do all the bodywork right off the bat, then do the power mods the following year. The bodyshop took awhile to do what they did, but I was and still am very happy with the job. Everything was molded and is holding up great.
Did all the mechanical work myself this past winter. Learned a ton and makes me appreciate the car even more. This winter I will be fixing some small things, such as the IC pipes, and the oil return from the turbo. Going to do some more power work to it and turn the boost up to 15psi and see what I do on the dyno in the spring.
The car made 175hp at 6100rpms and 168lbs of torque. The boost was set to 8 and spiked once to 10. The car was having problems with the AFM and in the higher rpms it was disconnecting. I was told before and would guess that up at 7200rpms I would be close to 190hp at the current 8psi.
Anyway...just introducing myself. Not sure how many of you are from the miata.net forum. This forum seems to have more protege/mp3 members than anything. But still another place to come for Miata advice....right (thumb)
