Went with John Marsh of Team International AllStars to get his Wide-bodied and Super-charged Mazda Miata he's been working on for a while dyno tuned up at Forged Performance in Marietta, GA. Sharif Abdelbaset and his staff are stand up people and definitely are doing things right. Just by looking around the lot and the garage there are some serious build going on as well as the normal maintenance jobs too. Cars from all over the states are getting work done here. Forged Performance is where it’s at!

I woke up a tad bit late so I ended up meeting John at Forged rather than rolling up with him in the dually. Of course I got stuck in Monday traffic.



John pulling up



Pulled into Piccadilly but soon realized that they were actually kinda open for business.



Big ole dually trailering a Miata?





Got the car out and ready to roll













Scott Siegel was the point man for this trip. He spent a good 3 hours on the Miata but 30 mins of that was troubleshooting. We got things working in the end and it was smooth sailing from there.



John signing his life away lol



Forged Performance guard dog on duty! Caution will lick haha what an awesome dog. So well tempered and was super friendly







Got the Miata up on the Dyno Dynamics Dyno







While they were setting up all the gizmos and gadgets on the motor and computers I got a few shots of my fellow team mate’s car. Nico Figueroa has his ride up at Forged getting some motor work done. After this phase it will go up to American Radio to get some tunes installed and then off to the body shop. Definitely keep your eyes peeled for this project!



















Almost ready







Dyno fan looks like a ginourmous Advan doesn’t it lol









The boss’ whip



You’ve probably seen this car sliding around at local drift events



Bing (Veritek) was there too to join in the festivities





Zoom Zoom



























John lookin in on the tune





Not too shabby.



Scott said that for this Dyno Dynamics reading add 15% to the numbers and that is what you get elsewhere.





lol funny pic of John. Looks like he is really concerned or something

One last run to make sure everything is working ok. Lol at 1:54 hahaha



155.1 HP and 144.2 TQ



Time to load her up and get outta here!



Thanks again to everyone up at Forged for the great work and shop tour!

Met up with my boy Jordan (Rollininstyle2004) to do some shoe shoppin up at Ambush and got a few rollin shots!
