3,000 rpm - starting to feel the power
beatles4's Chrystal White Miata build
Alright so I picked up a racing beat header off of Craigslist for the 1.6. I'm finally going to get rid of some exhaust rattle and make a little power doing it.

here it is installed. Wow I feel more power at 5k and above and there is no more crappy heat shield rattling anymore. So far the best $299 i have ever spent next to my new crank pulley that finally let me know my timing and get it adjusted.
Sadly while installed the header I broke the dipstick twice. Before today I had a mint dipstick and felt awesome about it. No more will I have that feeling. I guess I have one more thing to buy off of rosenthall when i parts.

I bought a Jackson racing intake for the 1.6 and it looks great.

Lol. Yah my mom has not driven it since.
Right now I have saved up just enough money to buy a decent suspension for the car. I might order the flyin miata stage 1.5 kit tomorrow.

Also forgot to mention that I picked up a daily. I now have a miata in the garage and a 06 volvo s60 t5.

I just went for a ride in the new intake. All I can say is wow. I know intake mods usually make the car sound like a civic but this made the car sound beefier. Like I dropped in a bigger engine.
I also felt a significant pull at 5k. It felt fantastic
I also gave my engine bay a good cleaning.

5,000 rpm - there be torque here!
Hit by a Bear?!? Really? Come on, that's a great story! The car looks nice with the new paint, and your trip sounds like quite an adventure. But man, hitting a bear/bear hitting you, is the icing on the cake! Keep up the good work.

I can only imagine what the miata behind me was thinking. When we got to the end of the road I talked to him and his wife and he said it was the weirdest thing he was even seen ever. He offered to give me his contact info in case I never need someone to back up my story.
You guys are going to laugh but I kept the old fender and I am planning on mounting it on the wall in my garage. When that happens ill post up a photo here. I kept it in its un washed bear snot stage.
When I hit/ he hit me the bear's snout hit the car and left a bit of brown snot.

I'd suggest you get a custom license plate that says "BEAR HTR" or "BEAR KLR", but that could be misconstrued as love for certain hairy men.

Well I guess I failed to mention that bear are up there with being my favorite animals along with moose. So after the accident I was pretty sad and it didnt help that I was going to go camping for 4 days in the mountains with bears. I was a afraid word might get out and they would attack me.
