Greddy kit has been pulled and sold. It turns out doing these. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/Minglor/2396454853_fc4fb4ba85_b.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/Minglor/2396454853_fc4fb4ba85_b.jpg) and track days and getting sideways and flat shifting. Is bad for these. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/Minglor/0414082308.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/Minglor/0414082308.jpg) Upgrade is the one on the right. Stance update will be happening by the weekend (as long as things go smooth) and I fixed my head. 😃 **5/02** New diff is in. Longer gears suck, so I need more power. Rollbar is almost in… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/Minglor/0502082129a.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/Minglor/0502082129a.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/Minglor/0502082129.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/Minglor/0502082129.jpg) **5/10** How it sits now.

Just to update cause I am bored. Track day = failed front main = timing belt + oil / burnout = my timing being fucked. To the point of not being able to do burnouts. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/Minglor/SummerSTART-35.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/Minglor/SummerSTART-35.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/Minglor/miata-1.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/Minglor/miata-1.jpg) I have a new motor, another 1.6, Just no motivation to put it in… Anyone wanna help. **8/08** Old motor is out thanks to fuzzy and Jcuz. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/Minglor/0807082209b.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/Minglor/0807082209b.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/Minglor/0807082209a.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/Minglor/0807082209a.jpg) New Motor is in thanks to the same crew. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/Minglor/0807082209.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/Minglor/0807082209.jpg) ETA to running…One week.

Sweet little project. This is probably jsut me but why the hell cant people keep their engine bays clean? First thing I do when I buy a car is buy some purple degreaser and have at it on the engine bay with a full bottle and pressure washer. After that some elbow grease and Armorall to make everything shiny. I cant stand dirty engine bays. I hate working on dirty ass engines. Sorry just a little rant. ---

At 5 psi is the intercooler and all the extra piping needed? I really don’t know… seems like you could save some lag there… Just a curiosity question. Definitely a great pick up for 400 bucks ---
