Dntlift's Spurr of the moment, what have I blown money on this time... thread!

This is mainly just filler for the time being.

Basically, I have a red 93 miata with a few supporting mods done to it. Various things have come and go. This thread is going to be used to document any changes. For those of you who are interested, a little history (probably not many of you, lol) I first got the car with a mp45 jackson racing blower, Kyb Agx with GC springs and a Bossfrog rollbar. I eventually got tired of it and decided that a turbo was the way to go, I ended up stumbling upon a GReddy. Take this as a lesson, those of you who are looking into boosting your car. Dont do what I did, lol. Always get engine management before boostss. I did this the other way around. The last few years have been a mix of enjoying the car, fixing the always something wrong with it turbo. (usually cracked dp) and a few autox here and there.

Currently the car is n/a running a literally just installed ms3x. literally as in, maybe 6 hours ago. And I have taken the car to a few hpde style events. I have determined that track days are where I want to be, and the car from now on will begin to reflect that, while still being a DD car.

Pics of the car in various stages of my ownership.
Also some pics of the upcoming motor build :ohnoes:

Its like Xmas all over again! in november! Whooooo!

Got some stuff done, got other stuff in the mail. All I have left to order other than small bits and pieces is my gaskets :D

So basically, I got my ms3X harness done, I just need to wire it into the rest of the harness. I began to wire my sequential fuel and sequential spark. I took a little bit of a different route than most people do. Since this car is my daily driver, it will actually have 8 injector clips, 4 in batch, and 4 in seq. It will remain this way until the car is for sure running right ie so I can make sure I didnt make some kind of retarded mistake.

Some day I will trim out the fat, but for now, as long as the car works then I am very happy.

I also got my timing belt, tensioner/idler, my alternator, and my waterpump today!

Finally, some pics:

you got some work ahead of you before the event! I decided to do all my work for the RA event this weekend and not have any before Dec. 3/4

Dntlift 11-14-2011 09:04 PM

Lol, most of this is for my 1.8 motor. the 1.6 is staying in the car for RA, no way in hell that would get done in time. I'm also probably going to stay batch fuel and spark for RA, I'm just getting ready for my changes this winter.

Track 11-14-2011 09:27 PM

ohhh, gotcha. what suspension are you on btw?

Dntlift 11-14-2011 11:19 PM

KYB AGX with GC springs. nothing great, but better than stock
