Pablo's 2004 MSM Build

[Perro del Sol]

Love my AEM Tru Boost EBC

 

[THE Phen]

Didn't I bloody tell you to get a better boost controller in the first place?

 

[princess peach]

Yeah, but I thought I would only have to set the boost, didn't know I had to change duty cycles and spring pressure

 

[princess peach]

Red wheels are on the car, Direzza DZ101s 205/50/15. MSM wheels are up for sale, just need to clean them up to take a picture. Only need to buy the tru-boost and she'll be ready for spring.

Why did you go with such a wide sidewall and skinny width?

Why did you go with such a wide sidewall and skinny width?

I can tell if that is a serious question or not. But 205-50 is a super common size for Miatas. I have 2 sets in that size


I love those Racing Harts, but I think they'd look ridiculous on an NA.

 

[princess peach]

Like Will said, its common and there are not a lot of options in a wider size that are a reasonable price AND have decent threadwear. Stock tires are also 205.

you won't know till you try

 

[WillD]

you won't know till you try

I'm just curious what are you asking?

They're way too heavy anyways. I'm rocking wheels that are 9.9lbs or 11.5lbs depending on which set.

$750, Continental DW 215/40/17 have 4k miles on them, they look like new.

 

[princess peach]

Waiting to hear back on a deal for the tru-boost. In the meantime, received parts for an audio upgrade. Need another amp and wiring kit.

Kicker 10C84 100 watts rms

Sub on the box I got last year

8" speakers, 100 watts rms, way cheaper than Clearwater. Only found them in 8 ohms so I had to get an amp

BOSS 6002, 1200 watts

 

[princess peach]

Got everything I need for the audio upgrade, ordered fog delete covers and the AEM tru-boost. Looking forward to installing most of it on Saturday and taking her out for a spin

BOSS CE200M

 

[Tungsten6]

Not sure how much you paid for it, but on Amazon they have an additional 15% off

[princess peach]

Very similar price, from a trusted source

 

[Lewis7789]

You can say CR3, he's an AMM on here.

 

[bazooka joe]

nice gauge!

 

[princess peach]

I like my analogue gauge, but this should eliminate the boost creep

 

[princess peach]

Got almost everything I ordered for the car, one of the fog covers will get here tomorrow. I like how it ended up looking, definitively better than a hole.

Lots of stuffs

cover installed

BOSE speaker vs Power Acoustik

Took spare tire and jack out, cut the brace\support for the jack to make room for the amp. Covered the holes with silicone.

Running the wires wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be, just had to take a few things off

Since the grommet that goes to the door is an plug, there is no room for the new speaker wire so we cut a hole to run it

Evan cut out some particle board to make a base for the trunk, the amp ended up under it taking the space of the spare tire

the board covers most of the trunk and is secured by a bolt using the support for the spare tire

put it back together and you'll never know there's an amp in there, trunk is still fully functional

I really like the outcome, the sound is much better than it was before. I need to change some settings on the head unit, right now I'm not getting a lot of bass from most songs unless I crank it up. I had to go to work so didn't have time for the sub, will have to get to that later, should be a nice complement to the speakers.

Many thanks to Evan for helping me out, he couldn't resist taking a shot of my ass...

ANd a couple of shots from today's meet

 

[bazooka joe]

nice! like the delete! hey, i'd be a little concerned about the cable going thru the door jamb into the door...how is that not going to get crushed ea time you close the door?
