Default Back in the saddle

I just bought an 07' Touring, 6spd MT, PRHT and 70K miles. She is bone stock at the moment. I'm considering coilovers and adjustable struts, camber plates (if needed), an upgraded ECU, maybe even the new Electric-Super Charger I've read about being developed in California, better front strut brace and maybe a rear strut brace... oh, some new wheels and tires and some minor dress up to the look of the car.



For the last 12+ years I've been driving a GMC mini van due to work and need to tow a 21' boat. Before that I've owned an 88' MR2 supercharged, 87' MR2, Saturn SC, 86' Fiero GT V6, 84' Fiero, 81' Fiat X1/9, 78 VW Rabbit. And I've owned and raced SCCA in a 1989 Geo Prizm (ITB), 1985 MR2 (ITA) that I raced and rented to other drivers, 87' MR2 (SSC, ITA & EP) I made the SCCA Runoffs in EP in 1995, SCCA Sport Renault (later became a Spec Racer Ford) and a 1978 Fiat x1/9 (SSC).






In just 2 days I've come to see how much I missed driving a fun car! It's GREAT to be back!

And I've got a question. In the pull down menu for Power adders there are a few I understand and a few I don't, like ITBs, I/H/E and FE? Anybody care to enlighten me? I told you I've been away for almost 20 years! LOL!

Maybe people are missing the question at the end of my post:

Individual throttle bodies, Intake/Headers/Exhaust, FE? What's FE? I have no idea.

Good-Win Racing is the leader in performance parts for the NC Miata. They have suspension, drivetrain and brake upgrades ready to go. Here:MX5 Performance Parts

Maybe FE is supposed to be FI?

I have no idea. I'm sure Brain was the one who set it up, so a typo is a definite possibility.

After flirting with an RX8 for a year, I have fallen in love with the NCs. They have the same fantastic suspension of the RX8 with none of the negatives of the RX8's renisis bugs. They also look so darn good. Congrats on the purchase and the score with a Hard Top! Wait till you track it.
