Sup guys.

So did a little more this weekend. Finished off the bay apart from a few little things.. Working out exactly what i need and where im gonna get my machining done atm.

I want to get this right. Ill order all my engine parts first then once my old turbo kit sells ill order all the new stuff. Really keen to get a respray as well if its within budget. Once i send my motor off for machining etc it should all come together pretty quick hopefully. Goal date is christmas and to have it run in by the new year.

Fingers crossed

Nice list, leaves me with a few burning questions. Apologies if you've answered them earlier.

1. Fitting flares and your bbses are up for sale.....what are you going to run, now :-) .
2. No ecu listed there, you staying with the e manage blue?
3. Are you planning to do track or drift work with this new setup?

Hope you get your Christmas wish

Good questions..

what i was planning to do was replace the bbs with different wheels.. more suited to the application that i want this car to be. I see bbs as more hard park/ euro wheels.. something that wont quite sit with my new setup.

But tbh im not to bothered if they dont sell simple as that. If they do then great i can get new wheels if not then it doesnt bother me

Ecu im running is a haltech sprint 500.. i had that installed with the previous setup. I spoke about setting up a car with dual purpose.. something that looks good yet can perform. So thats my plan now.. Have something i can drive around and have fun in and take it to the track for a thrash.

Since a lot of my mates own hondas and see the track regually id like to join in

Update: my rs-3s came in today as well as my m-tuned fuel rail

Also ordered something from japan to

what do you think of the fuel rail dude? good bit of kit?

charlie_91 · Postby **charlie_91** » Tue Oct 18, 2011 10:51 pm

Hey dude. It seem good. I only got this rail because I wanted the flyin miata one but thats on recall or something and I needed a dual fuel for my bigger fuel system

charlie_91 · Postby **charlie_91** » Wed Oct 19, 2011 9:17 pm

Update: Stripped the bottom end tonight.. found some slight score marks in the crank so had to cancel my acl bearings order.. Gonna have to wait to see if i need to go oversize or not.

Also got my hardtop in today

Its finally good to make some progress.. Few more weeks and i think ill have all my parts and my car should be painted by then..

Then its just motor, bushings and ball joints, arp wheel studs, install 2way diff (might change back to a 4:1 instead of 4:3) Then reassemble

Colour change?

charlie_91 · Postby **charlie_91** » Fri Oct 21, 2011 3:43 pm

Nope just staying red on the outside.. but doing a grey engine bay.

Anyways.... my fuel system arrived.. it is a Flyin Miata big fuel kit.

It replaces all the old fuel lines with stainless counterparts, aem fuel pressure reg, dw 300 lph fuel pump, m-tuned dual feed fuel rail and an inline fuel filter

This should be more then capable to handle my power and e85. Should be very good indeed.
