Will never buy a jack stand from them again, had one fail while I was under the car, luckily I had the floor jack right underneath that side as a fail-safe.

its because of that i use an unnecessary amount of jack stands and back ups. my garage isnt attached to my house so if my car falls, no one knows but me. kinda scary.
 
i'm gonna buy a subie 2.75" maf housing off ebay one of these days since it is the same as ours, then do the blow thru. sucks buying a house has taken all my money, ugh.... who wants to donate, i need like $75 haha.

Yes.

What's the advantage of relocating the battery (don't say 50/50...my Miata is 50/50 lol) & what exactly is this blow by business?
Click to expand...

lol.. weight distribution.. less weight in the front end, cleaner looking engine bay, more room to make a bigger Intake, better performance gains from the bigger intake.. the list goes on.. as for the Blow Thru instead of a Draw Thru system..

Wow, glad you're okay man. Fail as it got crushed?? How many tons was the jack stand rated for? I got a nice 3 ton jack/stands/creeper on sale at sears a couple months back for $100 (from $150)... good deal, and I feel pretty safe under there. I jack the car dead center in the front, put the stands in, and just lower it barely enough that the weight is 95% on the stands. That way, if either side failed, it wouldn't flop. It's a good thing for you that you had the jack on the side that failed. That's some scary stuff. Definitely worth spending a few extra bucks when it comes to life safety stuff!!

I had two, 3 ton jack stands supporting the front end of my 6, the only other car they had supported was the front end of a 1997 Toyota Camry LE I4. They were $25 bucks or something like that, brand was Central Pneumatics. I recently bought a Craftsmen creeper, two-3 ton jackstands, and a floor jack for $110 from Sears, same deal you got.

i had a set of craftsman stands fail on me while holding up the front end of a 86 cutlass with no drivetrain. the welds split, and they spread like a 17yo at a kegger.

funny thing was i brought them back since they were a craftsman. and i guess there not covered under the lifetime warranty thing. only there hand tools are. so i raised a stink, got the manager involved, and got me a new set of stands. lol. ive probably had that 2nd set a solid 8 years now, and havent had a problem with them. i think the 1st set was just janky.

Yeah, I believe they have a 1 year warranty from defect, but good luck proving that you didn't overload them yourself lol

Yeah, I lost a buddy who was a tow truck driver, you can guess what happened. I was 15, he was 18, that was the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with, I didn't get underneath a car until I was almost 17, scared the s*** out of me.

Thanks!(thumb)
 
So basically this is so you can VTA instead of recirc'ing....do you need to relocate the battery to the trunk to do this for space up front or no?
Which is better for the Speed6? My Miata is runs recirc and I don't mind it...lol.
I'm assuming the MS6 recircs stock.

MS6 is recirc stock

i think it runs better in VTA on Draw Thru but thats just me (most people would argu that it doesnt).. it definetly will run better once its Blow Thru, thats proven.

you dont need to relocate the battery to do this, as you will see with my new setup but u will need to have a Custom FMIC setup to do it..

more information will be posted about this in the coming weeks so stay tuned..
 
awesome man.. just updated that thread.. im 100% confident now that we do have PN's so im gonna be working on getting something together for everyone..
 
Like I say. Blow thru is well worth it. I think the car runs so much better with recirc. Plus boost leeks wont mess up the fuel trims with this setup. I had a new civic si play with me today. Lets just say it was a land slide. An I am not saying who. ;)

umm i think you meant to say the car runs better without recirc with the Blow thru setup since yours is VTA.. just want to clarify that..

car definately wont run better VTA on a draw thru setup versus recirc on a draw thru setup
