[DutchieSaxo]

i'm sorry but this feels like taking ten steps back.


might be the rattle can job or the horrible wheels and fitmend but i'm not feeling it at all.

oh wow, its been awhile huh.... well the car isnt green anymore...

I now have a PS Duce styled body kit because I really enjoy the styling and looks of it an im very in to the Japanese styling and keeping style in drifting. Rattle canned the passenger quarter cause the vinyl ripped the clear off, and rattle canned the kit. (plan to paint over the winter) Ive done two events so far in the car and 2000 miles on it. so far so good, leaks alot. but ill be upgrading some stuff, see if it lessens then just gonna do seals all around the motor and see what happens. but for now the car wont change too much and will just need my ass in it for some more seat time.

Got the car on a dyno. Made 150 @ 7lbs with vacuum leaks but i was content and just fixxed the leaks and got revisions over ther internet from my tuner. Car runs great! went to my first drift event on 6/3 called Thompson Night Stage and It felt so good! cant wait to throw my hyrdo ebrakes in and make it way easy to transition. Only problem I had was I blew a hole in my bead on one of my front tires.

that seat looks like your ass is going to get a major pounding. i mean, worse then any miata owners ass already..

If its being pounded, its being pounded by me........................

dope to see people i know like scotty with the z3 (that he sold) and familiar with the brown miata with the big wang and blue fenders . i believe that one is either for sale or sold too :/ nice build !

(im located in boston)

Whats up man haha, i actually visit the boston area every other weekedn cause my girlfriend lives in waltham. and the miata you talk about is a really good friend of mine, Kieth Archer, and he painted it this season to match a new team livery/style so its maroon and silver now, just spent last weekend with him watching his technique and entry style drifting until he detonated 1-3 gear on his last run haha.



Another decent sized update, tranny i bought was cut and modified and didnt realize until the motor was back in the damn car. But i did a stage 2 flyin miata happy meal kit with 10lb flywheel. Pickedup my friend wit the grey widebody miata ive posted old motor and tranny since he was going to 1.8 and I swapped the tranny in and put the motor back in, ran intercooler piping found out i needed to run slim fans to clear with the bigger alluminum fans due to the intercooler piping being pinched between the old fans and powersteering. should run late this week or next week depending if I can pick up all the fluids and get the ecu to cooperate first try! running 470 rx7 injectors and a walbro 255.

Looks sooo much better than the red! Gotta come by soon

Love this thing! What were the specs on the rota grids?

they were 15x9 0 offset 195/45

Alright, HUGE update. I forgot about this thread... (follow me on insta for actual normal updates, almost daily @ztfoss)

I got the car driving and drove it almost two weeks, threw on my new wheels and tires. The front is 15x8 0 offset with a 195/50 Federal 595 RSR and the rear is just some achilles 195/50 and 15x8 +25. im currrenlty running 5 degrees of caster, -4 degrees of camber up front and 0 camber in the rear. I made custom uppers for the rear to spin and get rid of the camber.





After driving it for two weeks, I finally nutted up and put the car in the garage, up in the air, and decided to swap my rear to a 4.1 torsen along with upgrading to 1.8 rear brakes. Also welded diff in the weak spot ive heard a bunch of horron stories where it cracks under intense driving.


As i went to do my motormounts, (super miata 88d ones) I realized Im one bolt from pulling the motor and just making everything 3000x easier including doing the clutch. So out it came in about 45 mins. While out I painted the bay and have tapped my oil pan. Within the next two weeks the motor should be all cleaned up and ready to go back in. Then it gets its first start on ms2pnp and hopefully turns on.
