    Well the stock clutch lasted about a day with the supercharger so I called up Flyin Miata and ordered up one of their Happy Meal clutch kits. With the help of my buddy we knocked out the job last saturday, it went really smooth only unexpected was a crapped out slave cylinder (got new one at Vatozone for $20.00). Now the shitty part of breaking in the clutch, I don't see 500miles going very well.

    Went with their 13 pound flywheel due to stupid charger




    Almost there

    Is that a G-String? It looks almost saran wrapped onto the rollbar. I love the overall look though, especially the matching green bandaid

    Yeah I thought the same thing. That thing is tighter than a pair of size 0 skinny jeans on a 400lbs chick. Haha

    Mini update: I installed a Jass Lo-pro light kit last night. I love pop up lights but I was never a fan of the huge round lights that found their way onto NA miatas. Install went pretty smooth a lot of back and forth adjustment to get things lined up but overall I love them. I have a dyno date for the 14th of March with my tuner in Tucson.

    Finally had a chance to take the wiener to my tuner in Tucson to fine tune the megasquirt. The trip was successful and everything went relatively smooth. I had to pull the exhaust of the car to make it up on my trailer (stupid low car, you'll notice in the dyno how loud it it is). The car made 193/165 uncorrected or 206/177 corrected. I had a chance to put some laps on the car at ASR after the event on Saturday, the car was an absolute blast drive (huge smile on my face every lap). I managed to run a 1:19.7, I was rather pleased with the results considering it is on street tires, pads and cheap ass coil overs. It is so nice to drive to the track and just run laps, the Evo has become such a pain in the ass that is was a nice refresher.

    On the road:

    This is awesome. I'm jealous of all your cars, but mostly the Type-R.
