    I am going to be selling the 93LE. So the Supercharger is coming off.

    This crows foot 17mm comes in handy.

    Getting that 17 off underneath the charger was fun. Grrrrrrr

    I had to grind one of my wrenches to get to that skinny bolt head.

    After we removed all the 10mm bolts we soon found out this stinking pulley won't come off unless we remove the front sway bar. Ugh. Looks like I'll pick this up later.

    I still have to put the kids to sleep and make a list of the other parts I need to get this back to 100% OEM

    But at least the charger if off!!



    Props to Tim for helping me remove this kit, once we are finished I plan to change out all the fluids, get the car detailed and put it up for sale.

    Thank God! I hate forced induction! Can't believe someone put that there.

    I have been contemplating a very similar setup for my 92 miata. I am still undecided as to what I will do engine wise.

    It's a great system, lots of linear torque. This system only has 9000 miles on it too. The only reason I'm selling it is because folks that want a low mileage car generally want them 100% bone stock.

    Yes I plan to sell the kit, its a pretty awesome kit, and it is exactly how the Miata SHOULD have come from the factory! Let me get the car back together, and Ill let you guys know once I am ready to sell.

    This kit only has 9000 original miles on it, so its basically brand new, and the nice thing is if any of you guys take your cars to the vintage, or classic car shows this is considered a "period correct" modification, and yes they judge on that too!!

    This week will be crazy as the printers called and said the shirts would be ready on Wednesday, (they got backed up on orders from bollywood and some other local convention), but once I pick up the shirts I will be focusing on getting those orders out too!!

    Busy busy week ahead!!

    Here is something cool I found tonight, so you can read up on the specs of the kit.

    I cannot find the little chrome acorn bolts that attach onto the front of the cam cover. Anyone have a spare set? They hold on the chrome vent pipe.

    Care for a trade? You have something I want... and I have something you need.

    I also have them. Since I do not have the chrome vent pipe or that portion of my valve cover anymore, I can send them along with the next HW shipment if you want/need them.
    I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.
