    Complete with a 5-angle valve job.
    Bp4w
    Supertech valve springs + titanium retainers
    Port and polish by Curtis of motion motorsports
    All new seals
    Exhaust intake cam
    Maruha cam gears

    1994 Block and crank.
    2001 rods
    84.5mm 11:1 compression supertech forged pistons
    boundary engineering street strip oil pump
    acl race bearings
    All arp hardware
    cometic head gasket


    With a 99 spec intake manifold with working vics
    arc intake pipe and K&N filter
    fgk 4-2-1 header and exhaust.

    Sadly, I didn't get the head and block checked for valve to piston clearance, so cam gear tuning will have to wait until that is done.

    (Engine went from Curtis' shop to treasurecoast miata and they just slapped it together.

    I finally got around to picking up a hood I purchased about year ago. It's not pretty, but I was happy to get rid of the heavy steel aftermarket hood my car had on it.

    I'm thinking if no one picks up my US Racing Sports bumper I may throw it on my car... Paint will eventually come. But I need to continue getting my car fully up to spec mechanically.

    In the last six months I've replaced:
    The starter for an NB8C Starter motor.
    Rebuilt my original alternator.
    Changed a bunch of relays and fuses- Now my gauge cluster/tail lights work again.
    Changed the upper control arms for factory arms with serviced ball joints. My V8R Ball joints ended up working them selves loose since I didn't have em spot welded.

    My Front Lower ball joints are bad, so I need to add that to the list.

    I also plan on fitting NB Top hats, trimming my fcm bump stops, and installing a pair of swift helper springs on my rear dampers. I also Have to install my R-package tie rods, and swap out my eccentric bolts and get it aligned. Also need to install an NB front sway bar up front.

    Also traded my ryokurob lotus elise mount for one that has OEM sliders fitted- Raised my seat maybe a half an inch and now it's easier to get in and out.

    Also: Photo dump from my first auto-x event. My car was super loose.








    I'm grateful my buddies Carlos and Gio came out with me. I hope to go to a few more once my car is in better shape.

    Also had a valve cover shipped to a buddy in California- he powder coated my valve cover for me. Check out velocity power coating if you're out there!



    I need to do something about my ugly-ass header.

    I'd go with a TDR blanket. It will look ok and keep some heat away from the air filter.
