Congrats man!

[blenderblast]

Going to be putting my car on a dyno today. I can't wait to see actual numbers!!!

[— Phatmiata —]

did you ever get the door fixed after the hit and run? no before and after pics?

[blenderblast]

I may have some pictures... I just took the door card out and beat it out as best I could with a mallet and some other odds and ends. Doesn't look as bad as it was. I'm not going to go too hardcore with it until I'm ready for paint.

I'm fixing to leave for dyno though, I'll get some pictures up later, maybe tomorrow. (party tonight)

Your Roadster looks good, post those numbers!

Here we goooooo...
I was expecting right around 190whp, so I think I got pretty close. I'm running super rich, but with the FMU, it is set as good as it can get. I just wanted base numbers, so when I go to MSPNP, T28, and STi injectors, I'll know how much I've gained. End goal is right around 240whp. but less talk moar pictures.

On dyno before putting fan in front of it.

It's already a pretty quick car as it is. I can't imagine it with 240hp.

Keep up the good work. I like your all metal radiator, those things are hard to find now. The oem ones I mostly see are the plastic top that goes bad after a while.

[Thumper13]

Really nice build !! I hope to get over to Tampa soon and I am looking forward to seeing your car in person. Great way to bond with a machine,good job.

[blenderblast]

Thanks guys!
That radiator wasn't easy to find. I love it though, but it does need a thorough cleaning... or it may be time to retire it, if so, Mishimoto here I come!
The radiator has been in there for a reallllly long time. Seems bulletproof haha

I can't wait for 240whp though, it is going to be AWESOME!!!

My uncle is giving me a 1.8l that he has in his garage... he is doing some cleaning so I'm getting all of his left over/spare parts. (:
I'll slowly start building that one up, which will probably take a couple years unless I get a second job.
I might go ahead and get a cheapo Mako paint job, my paint is sooooooo bad on the car... feels like sand paper haha

[blenderblast]

That is the dent that was in my door. The picture makes it look better than it is. I've taken the door card off and beat most of it out with a mallet. Doesn't look bad at all anymore, except the big chip in paint.

[— Phatmiata —]

Did you fix the door? I see you are parting the Turbo & car out now? Gonna buy another Miata or hanging up the Miata game?

[blenderblast]

I pulled the dent out of the door. it isn't bad anymore. but there is still a little one I could do myself in it.
I'll be buying another miata and starting over
