    Morr- I kinda like your car with the silver wheels.

    Ciotti- Car looks great! Where in Cherry Hill do you live? I've got family out there and I used to live in Philadelphia. I hope one day I may be able to move back.

    Pulled out the radiator, intercooler and moved the A/C condenser. Worked on getting those bolt stubs out of the end of the crank without luck. Checked the manual and turns out the pulley boss comes off without disturbing the cam belt (yes, I should have looked at this from the start). Got it off and it looked iffy so went to the dealer and ordered a new one. Got home and decided to mess with the old one, of course I got all the stubs out without damaging the threads. Now just waiting on the spacer I need to put it all back together.

    I lived in West Deptford and then Clementon a long time ago (mid '80's) when I was working in Philly. Had a bike and a car stolen while I was living there so I don't have very fond memories.

    Managed to break my thermostat cover while putting everything back together (don't ask me how, I haven't a clue). So now I have to wait until Monday (hopefully) for the new one to show up at the dealer. And I was so close to getting it back running too!

    Spent a couple of hours this morning and put everything back on that I could. Car is sitting on all four wheels, all that's left is putting the thermostat in with the new cover, the intercooler outlet pipe and the auto-tensioner/belt for the supercharger.

    I figured out what happened with the thermo cover. Somehow the thermostat slipped down out of the recess while I was putting the cover in place, I didn't notice it and it kept the cover from seating properly. That was enough for the cover to break when I was tightening the lower nut. So be careful when replacing your thermostat.

    New thermo cover is on and the rest buttoned up. Took a test drive and everything seems to be working as it should. Now to get the tuning done...

    I picked mine up from DIYAutoTune, soon there will be a new goody for 99-00 owners.
    I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.

    Oohhh, do tell?

    I autocrossed/ drifted the RT615's to concrete. Those tires are so heat cycled its scary. Also found out my wife and I are now entered in a race that I am very excited about. I think we will be using her car for the race, as it has the better suspension, LSD and A/C for the drive down and back.

    Fixed my boost gauge, I wrote ProSport and they told me to check the wiring connector from the pressure transducer to the gauge. Turns out you really have to push on it to get it to seat in the back of the gauge, I'm just glad it was that simple. Then I took a jaunt to let Tuner Studio do some corrections to my fuel.

    Since they posted on a couple forums asking for a test vehicle and saying specifically what it was needed for, I guess it's not a secret, so:



    Not only an MSPnP for the 99-00 Miata, but a Gen 2 as well!
