IJ approved, huh? Don't see that every day...

Oh, very much so. In fact, I dare say it probably wouldn't be possible without it, to run very much boost pressure at that high compression level. However, combine that with direct injection, and beautiful things happen. ;) Not to burst your bubble (e85 is well enough documented as a decent...

I like the way you think, way to put it into a positive perspective. :)

Hmm, seems rather than burn, it melts? Odd... Foolish though, to store money in an oven. Freezer would have been a much better place to keep it in the kitchen. Duh. :p

Gotta love how these things snowball on ya... He excited to get to drive it sooner than later?

That's what I figured happened... can't see someone on here being dumb enough to attack a speed bump head on. Now, the next question of mine would become, what sort of road would you be doing speeds in excess of 50mph (I'm guessing here, given your 35-40mph after quick braking estimate), would...

Better option still, buy a proper wheel that fits your desired application. I understand this is probably the most expensive option up front (especially if you don't understand how wheel sizing works), but why carry around more weight than necessary on your hubs?

I'll also chime in and mention the RSR, I still think it might be the best sounding exhaust for either a 7m OR JZ. That said, if you plan on taking the car on road trips, try to find one with a silencer. ;) For daily driving though? Sounds sweeeeeet.

Err... I'm going to guess they had a hell of a time hooking up, because that is about 1.5 seconds slow for that trap speed...

All in the tune sir... Miata engines are 10:1 and run boost too. VW direct injection turbo engines run something like 11.5:1 IIRC on the Golf GTI...

Somehow doubt you're going to keep traction (even from a roll) with WRX width wheels. They do look very similar though. And holy crap, good rider, fast bike too...

I would advise against it. You know the phrase ignorance is bliss? Applies here as much as it has to any internet "ewwwww" before it. ;)

Thread back from the dead! Thread necromancy at its best. :p As for me... Hmm, I would have to say buying it. Seriously. Should have bought my 88 back instead of the 89 I have now...

Shoe decorations. ;) Well, technically, bad injector wiring would cause a cylinder to be "dead"... Err... kinda a step sideways, isn't it? Then again, pretty much anything Smokey does is pretty awesome, so I'll allow it.

That was a good thread on Turbo Miata, but I'm actually having the opposite problem. Too much boost with a boost controller (even on the minimum setting), but without it, I only get maybe 12psi, 13psi tops. I'm wondering if a slight restriction somewhere might not be in order...

Hmm, I seem to recall leaving the door handle itself attached to the panel, but I could be wrong. I'm in the same boat (having done the door panel on, door panel off thing a LOT), except for the bezel thing. Didn't know those attached to the door itself. :)

Those look like Volks to me... nothing to be mad about if they are. :)

Hey, it is trying to be a Dodge Slant 6! :p OP, they tend to wear out for the reasons that Poodles mentioned. Nothing to really be concerned about, just replace them. :)

Well, I guess that answers the question that wasn't asked: "What would a MkIV look like with pop up headlights?" That's what I was thinking. Well... don't let me stop you sir. Big enough swap hammer, you should be good to go, right? Man, I would have thought you guys would have been done with...

They had an interesting lineup throughout the world in those years. There were two different body styles that North America got, my personal favorite being the liftback.
