The miata that waited, a love story

A/C light: remove it. You can either take everything apart and carefully remove it from the top of the HVAC panel, or you can pull out the knob and smash the bulb with pliers. I chose the latter when I did mine. =)

airbag light: I believe GarageStar has a solution for ya.

I have attempted the "hulk smash" move on the AC light and it is a little bitch. (or I'm the bitch)

I also have taken care of the airbag light. I pulled out the airbag brain and pulled the light. No biggie now. Thanks for the compliments, Adam!




I still need new pictures of my gauges

You have one of my favorite roadsters ever, and it just keeps getting more and more awesome.

And Adam, I use the domos you sent me as poison counters when I play a game called Magic the Gathering. Everybody loves 'em.

Thank you!


AND THAT IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA FOR DOMOS! I MUST BUY MORE AND USE THEM AS TOKENS!!!!

I felt like taking pictures of my interior today. Nothing fancy, but, I figure I should give some credit to a few people who have added some wonderful products to my lovely Amelia.

First up, Revlimiter. I ordered a custom set of GT-40 gauges and the first GT-40 HVAC with some custom work.

I really love the tach. Its incredibly tempting to rev my car because I love watching the needle sweep across the face. UGH

Side notes: I broke the stopper on my oil gauge. Those things are so sensitive. All I did was smash it with the plastic cover, jeez. Also, my car is dirty and it shows. Finally, I tried the red needle thing. I hated them. I hated the red and the job I did. I replaced them with white needles (when I broke my oil gauge stopper) but lost a white needle. Hence the only red one.

Sex, right?
Adam did an amazing job and his quality of work matches his character. There aren't enough words to describe all the awesome that Adam encompasses. All I know is that he did a perfect job and I couldn't be happier. Soon I will take night shots.

Now your eye probably caught something under my HVAC panel. That brings me to my next product that is new in my car.

ROADSTER TECH GAUGE HOLDER!

The thing is awesome. Our local sponser Roadster Tech made me this beautiful piece. Rick is a fantastic person to deal with, creative, and very thorough. What is really cool about this product is that it directs the gauges toward the driver instead of simply placing them straight. Pretty cool, eh?

I have a wideband in there, boost gauge, and temp gauge. Rick made me a 3 hole version because I wanted to show all the bitches how many gauges I have! But if you can't ball so hard, he can put less holes.

This is how it is all set up. I really love it. I have a great view of the gauges and the radio is out of the way.

This is the whole interior as of right now. If you notice I have a new shift knob. Martin was very generous and gave me his old Nardi shift knob! It's a little beat, but it matches the Nardi steering wheel. I thought it was proper.

Thanks to Adam at Revlimiter, Rick at Roadster Tech and Martin for making my interior that much cooler!


Finally...


(Oh ya I got something cool left, but not really. What could it be? Oh shit!)



































A friend sandblasted some of my supercharger parts and I painted them! Looks a lot better, right!?

It's aliiiiiiiiive!!!!

I wish I brought my action cam to record the first drive last night.

[I<3flippyheadlights]

Wow, you posted before me. But it is true, Amelia now has a nice supercharger. I have also owned the car for two years. Can't believe how far it has come in such a short amount of time.

The car runs a little funky and will require more tuning. But its nice to have such a big project mostly done.

[I<3flippyheadlights]

POTATO CAM!

Way too lazy to get out the nice camera and do a shoot; life is too busy. Gonna get this thing tuned so I can start having some real fun.

[Ihatecars]

SUPACHARGA!!!!!
Freaking awesome.

[morr]

What res did you set your potato to? Looks pretty crisp!

In all seriousness, hopefully I'll get to see this car in person some day. I plan to go to Miatapalooza next year... and also plan to supercharge my NA

[I<3flippyheadlights]

Thanks guys c:

It is pretty fun, but I would have top recommend against supercharging. It's fun and all. But I feel a proper turbo with real management would destroy this set up. I get 20 mpgs, run rich everywhere, and I only see 150 horses. Not trying to dis the fun of the thing, but in the long run it isn't worthwhile.


Morr, I WANT TO SEE YOU THERE!

[psulja]

Nice to see you have a bit of a power adder installed now. INB4TURBO

Keep the updates coming!

[I<3flippyheadlights]

One day there will be a turbo, but it is a year or so off. I gotta finish school, get a real job, and find myself a nice home to buy.

None of those will get you any street or internet cred like a turbo will. Just my .02
