Hwy 9 Fun Run!

What would you be doing?

 

[KpaBap]

heh if it pays the bills and you enjoy doing it, why not, besides, who would wanna leave the bay area anyway

I drove my car to work today. YAY! So nice to drive my car again.

Still not done by any means, but at least it's on the road again. Saturday will be spent re-installing gauges, working on my idle (it's crazy high right now, and investigating why my AC seems to not be working very well)

And if I get to or whenever I get to it the following needs to be done:

Install dynamat in all doors
sound deaden rest of trunk and rear deck to help with exhaust drone
re-attach rear skirt (again, because the dealer sucks)

A trip to San Diego for:

New Exhaust manifold by warranty
Install new axles
Install new crank seal
Re-seal oil pan
Possibly re-clock turbo and fabricate new hot pipe

 

[UberCaff]

Jared, do you have a tial blow off valve?

 

[jrodhotrod]

Nope, HKS SSQV BOV and an internal wastegate on the GT28RS

 

[UberCaff]

Oh, I thought you were rockin the Tial for a while. Am I correct or tottally crazy?

 

[jrodhotrod]

Nope, never had a Tial.

I did have a Forge Motorsport BOV, that looked sorta like the Tial before I did all my upgrades. It was designed to work with the factory piping (aka didn't requrie a flange to mount) but I replaced it with the HKS SSQV.

omgjdmvtecdorifto my suspension is teh installed and this time I got exactly the alignment I wanted, and ballasted to my weight

I got the extra half degree of negative camber in the front that I was missing and that should add some grip to the front tires, yay.

Electronic Technician / Medical Equipment Maintenance Tech. Repairing those robotic things that fill up those medical vials, 5 or 10 at a time. Too bad the money sucks.

I may stick it out with Intel for a while, until they move us.

humm i found 2 local msp trannies. make me think about the future of my car

 

[Natey]

I'm a bonehead. I waited until friday afternoon at 4 to call about my ECU upgrade. I won't have the Miata up and boosting until monday afternoon. Oh well, looks like I'll be beating on the FC for a few days.

Roy, how much for the MSP tranny? I might be interested too..

 

[Roywhitep5]

no prices available. all i know is that 2 are local

 

[UberCaff]

-samco intercooler hoses (red) - $30
-gruppe-s up pipe - $100

Those are the only things I would be interested in. The Tannabe springs are lowering springs and my free s-techs are better than those.

(scratch) Why do you want a MSP tranny, Jimmy? I thought you were gonna sell the P5.

 

[Jliao]

Second thought.. hehehe

 

[Natey]

lol. (thumb) There's not too many better looking cars than the one you've got, IMO.

Stock LSD?

 

[Natey]

Yes, but I thought he was planning on selling the car he's gonna put it into. Thanks again for the help, BTW. Once I get my ECU dealt with, I'll be boostin'!
