are running a stand-alone (i think you have to with ITBs)pretty much after, constantly having to tune...even when just the weather changes.

IRTB's aren't oldschool... now a set of sidedraft webers would be ;). but damn nice engine bay, how about some more pics/specs? what engine management, other mods, etc :D

No, I am not a one post wonder - that was my first post to the Forum and do have a full time job and family. :rolleyes:


Yes, the R stands for Runner - I am sure it is generic enough - same thing as ITBs.

Low end is strong - lightened OEM FW, stock internals and upgraded exhaust from ZOOM Japan. Top end is heaven.

Runs with HKS F-Con Pro which means no tuning (expect when I change the internals) and never having to worry about weather or altitude.

My Miata has been in Road&Ster in Japan and is being covered in Modified Magazine soon (with a bit of luck).

Here she is:

RSpeed is a great crew - I used to work there and we carried the largest Rota inventory on the east coast at one point. I am sure things have cnaged by now...

yeah i had picked up a set of the slipstreams when they were a relatively new style, and also rolled out of there with a hard dog bar stuffed upside down and behind the seats tied down with nylon rope (wasn't expecting to buy that day but they cut me a deal because a cust had ordered and never picked up). i've always thought your car to be odd looking but beautiful at the same time ;).
