You know... you have all those big tools in the shed... just sayin'. ;) That brace was always on my list of things to do on my 2nd Miata, but I never got around to it. If I didn't wanna build a 7 so much I'd probably get another of those.

Well familiar with rev-matching, drive a Miata long enough and it becomes second nature in anything. So just gotta be patient and let the rpm drop that extra few hundred RPM before engaging second gear then? Only ever happens with the 1-2 for me when I'm high rpm and in a hurry to row. About...

Get a stock 600cc sport bike and some leather.

I can vouch for the ability to put it through an enlarged speedo hole (man that just *sounds* dirty...), HOWEVER... if you ever have to replace your speedometer cable, good luck. That's all I can say. It is NOT fun trying to fish that cable through when your whole harness is stuffed in there...

I dunno, 25 is the most recent "big one" I've hit... that was a few years ago.

Me either, moot point sir. :) Had a good one the other day and now I can't remember it... dammit.

Turned out great. Had to get powdered cayenne pepper as I couldn't find fresh ones. Used Newmann's Own "Sockarooni" sauce. Result? Perfectly spiced spaghetti, tasted like authentic Italian, just spicy enough to be good, but not so much as to ruin the dish for those with milder tastes. :D

I believe I had something like 2.3-2.5° negative camber up front on my 88, due to it's stance. Had no significant issues with tire wear, and the thing handled great on the street. HOWEVER... gotta consider how much contact patch you're gonna have when you tilt your tires in so much. Nothing like...

I always thought the 7m just had large (by comparison) oil galleys to the head. Bigger holes = less pressure. Then again, my knowledge of 7m's isn't exactly the world's best. :)

Make sure your plugs are gapped correctly as well. I had a similar problem with the 1j after the y-pipe swap. Gapped the plugs evenly and at a bit tighter spec, and the problem went away.

I knew bhg's make cylinders clean up quite nicely, I didn't know it had the same effect on spark plugs though. Good point on them all looking the same though, have yet to ever see a BHG motor behave so uniformly.

Does it really do anything? Wouldn't be hard to just add another bar to my roll cage's hoop...

I thought ARZ could e-coat the rotors for you before they're shipped? Seem to remember Andy mentioning that at some point.

Boxters are nothing in a straight line, chase a good wheel man down the canyons and you'd have your hands full with a Supra. ;) Not too bad though Kenny, like I said, you're way out classed, but not horribly outrun from the sounds of it, hang that head high! :D

This is how I've always been. Lose just ONE close friend due to someone ELSE'S choice to drink and drive, and you would hopefully be smart enough to adopt this policy too. Hopefully it doesn't take even that for people to open their eyes.

Any tips for grinding when doing high rpm 1-2 shifts? Always seem to have this problem with any R154...

You're gonna have to get a couple videos of this thing when you're driving it around... Definitely gonna raise a few eyebrows with this under the hood.

I remember getting a letter on that Progressive rewards program a while back, but forget what level it said I was at. Find it strange they don't mention how long you have to be with them for each different level...

Exactly. Any alcohol and any driving is a bad combination. :nono:

That's true, gotta weigh each car for what it's worth to you. As for the chassis itself, it's all the same between the NA and turbo, so it really comes down to preference on which car you like better...
