So...ordered Tomei ULE headers, COBB V3 AP, and CNT downpipe. Went with Tomei due to the collector and fairly priced. Only thing I am unsure of is that there is no flex section like the Megan racing set I currently have. So we'll see if it cracks faster. I will be wrapping these right off the bat. Decide to go ahead and grab an AP as my tuner moved up north, unfortunate for me, good for him. This way it should be easier for him to tune and for me to go e85. I decided to go with the CNT due to the cast bellmouth portion. My Megan Racing DP cracked right at the mouth and I contribute that due to the weaker metal vs cast. It'll be covered with wrap anyway so it doesn't matter how pretty it is. I wanted to go with a Tomei DP but went with the smarter option. I also wanted to get a diverted dp like Invidia but did all the research I could and consensus is it didn't make much of a difference. Again for the price you can't beat the CNT. Stayed tuned for pics!!!!

Hit up the closet dyno on Sunday at Emerald Coast Motorsports with the Emerald Coast Subaru Club for a little club meet. Had to drive just over 2 hours but it was a beautiful so didn't mind it. I had head the dyno read low so was expecting anything crazy and I have a crack in the header where it collects to up pipe. Managed 255hp and 277tq. Only did 2 pulls since my 2nd pull was so close. I was running 19 and forgot I could switch to about 21 and I should have to see what the difference would have been. The consensus is this dyno reads about 20 low. Fairly happy as I do have a conservative tune with stock tmic and injectors while only running 19. So I feel I have more if I really wanted. Graph looks pretty good, I'll post it up when I get a chance. Temp was about 90*f inside so pretty hot.

Just buy a used LGT wheel and then swap over the bag

Yea, not the most plug and play per say. But I love the look and feel of them. I'm still rocking the stock seat belts too. I've done the reading about if you can't do 5 or 6 point stay with the lap belt. Who knows, I may do the 4 point down the road. This car is a daily and chances are if I get hit, it won't be pretty anyway.

These are the seats I use.

Well, got a random package today that I had no clue what it was. Opened it up and inside was a BNIB Zerosports blue radiator shroud. I must have bought one many months ago, forgot as I was getting lots of parts at the time. Then, bought another one used. Aslo installed my Prodrive oil cap. Very nice piece and they are discountinued!

That's pretty fast for a stock Miata. Don't even think anything else with that engine size none boosted will grab under 6 in 0-60.

Who's making the drive down to Tampa for the MEGA MEET!!!!! I'll be heading over from Mobile. Incase you aren't aware it's on the 23 of Jan.

I just can't even.

Finally got a walkaround video up of the car, enjoy

I hate your phone

The same car, yet they look so different.

Got a real camera finely so I'll have good photos coming up finally. Panasonic DMC-FZ70

Well I have seen these on Japanparts and wanted one but then couldn't find it again. Loked on ebay and all and was sure it was discontinued. Which it was. Some how I stumbled onto JapanAuctionParts who was in colab with Tommy Kiara to do a limited run! How did I get so lucky. This limited run is also the only heavy baby that will come with different colored turtles. So excited and it is a "Heavy Baby" haha http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww331/TonyHamre/05%20GT/IMAG1619.jpg http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww331/TonyHamre/05%20GT/IMAG1618.jpg

So it ended up being the main vacuum line ont he backside of the mainfold directly in the middle that caused the 0 idle condition. Pushed it back on, zip tied and all good to go.

How have I not stumbled upon this until just now!. This is so cool! Maybe be in the future aka well be. Thanks for the great thread

Just in time for the winter!

I see a lot of future new wall papers in here.

PTP turbo blanket along with Perrin heat shield installed. Had to get another Prosport as the Halo series was having issues. And installed the new GS intake and finalized my open source tune from Drunkman Tuning. Safe to say the car is done for awhile. http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww331/TonyHamre/05%20GT/IMAG1580.jpg http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww331/TonyHamre/05%20GT/IMAG1560.jpg http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww331/TonyHamre/05%20GT/IMAG1559.jpg

Didn't update this. So completed the above o-ring replacement and ran into an issue with zero vacuum at idle and car running so lean it was off the wideband. Pulled it apart and made sure it was reseated, all was good there. Still the issue remained. Got a boost leak tester and found the main boost line that is located at the aft center part of the intake manifold had slipped off! Fixed it and all is well. Going back to finalize my tune and install the GS intake

Subaru of Gwinnett, haha

My car is up to no good. Tried to replace the mainfold/tgv orings and TB orings and now it runs at 0 vacuums. Havent had time to really look into it. It's be at least 2 weeks now.

Just cause it is a bit cheaper and wanted to give it a try. I am not an oil Nazi on which one to use but an advocate for changing it at a timely manner. However, I have switched to Rotella to all my vehicles.

that it is

just switched from Rotella T6 to T5 10W-30. Cheaper than the T6
