What have you done to your Miata today?

I bought 9 Gallons @ $2.25/gallon (vpower premium) which is $20.25

9 gallons is equal to 34.1 liters so the rate would be like $0.51 per liter or something close to that. I havent done math in a while lol

WHAT!!!!


I paid $1.14 the other night

normal unleaded has jumped 10c since
 
Painted the inner headlight chrome bits over the weekend

and also colour coded the front badge a week ago +

well i had day dreams about it all day and couldnt wait till the weekend to go to where its stored and pull the exaust off so i can make the full 3" turbo back exaust ive been wanting since the day i bought it :D unfortunatly i cant drive it untill all this damn snow is gone and the salt is off the roads...i hate wisconsin
 
I'll probably take the MSM out this weekend since temps might hit 50. It's been 10-25 deg F the last few weeks. Nothing but ice/snow/slush :(

Make the exhaust on the car, it will hit EVERYTHING if you dont. Watch out especially near the diff.

Same here. Once it goes to the paint shop, next week, I'll not get to drive it for 2-3 weeks.

You might want to check out mazda-speed.com. Mostly MSM stuff. You are going to want the Flyin Miata o2 mod to keep it from running lean with the exhaust http://flyinmiata.com/index.php?deptid=4536&parentid=0&stocknumber=07-46300 Having an exhaust and intake on my car was enough to make the car run very lean before 4500rpm and fall flat on its face, after 5000 it would take off like a damn rocket.
 
I received a 9lb FM Flywheel today. I also purchased a set of 13x9 3-peice Panasports. She's coming together.
 
I touched her today. Told her not to worry, im going to take care of her soon.

Brakes and taillight in the mail. Full suspension on the way hopefully really soon.

Dyno'd the car yesterday. 113.8 WHP, 98 ft/lbs! That's a gain of almost 10 WHP with the engine in exactly the same configuration as the old one. Just re-freshed, overbore and some head work (decked to up compression, valves ground)

Today, my wife and I took Little Red for a nice long drive of maybe 150 miles. It was such a nice day, we had to get out of the house. It felt so good.
