Were these pics taken at Discover Mills? I remember when I shot over there, they were on to me like within 5 minutes of me driving to the top. I was only able to snap one shot. They suck.
Your car has a lot of potential. Got plans for it?

Never said my car was meant for everyone to love lol.
Guess thats what happens when you're never understood the concept of "function over form".

lol true man so true but some hate what they cant understandOriginally Posted by DropTopDrifter
speaking of function over form, taking that intercooler out would probably give you a good bit more throttle response and maybe a little more hp. The pressure drop on that thing must be like 2-3 psi on that blower.
not hating, just saying.
Josh, i know you are well educated with the Honda crowd, but, the JRSC on the Miata is mounted what we refer to as "hotside", meaning the s/c is NOT taking place of the intake manidolf like 99%of the other kits using roots blowers do. With the stock crossover tube, intake temps can reach upwards of 300*F. So in that case, i'd take 5psi of cold air vs 8psi of hot air. Intake temps are cool enough to bring the temp of the intakemanifold itself close to ambient. Thus my justification of the intercooler. Throttle response isnt so bad either... boost is there as soon as i touch the pedal
Not to be an ass, but i dont know how much Mazda stuff you know... but if you knew any of that..well, i just took 5 min for nothing lol. I did need that bumper to allow the intercooler i wanted to run and help get more air to the radiator. I will be getting the flaired/agressive side skirts and a new wing to go with it soon
Damn, i feel bad about threadjacking this... SORRY!

Oh ok, I was thinking it was mounted on the intake side and the pipe just ran from the intake side to the cooler and back to the throttle body. Maybe an 11psi pulley for a little more tire smokeJosh, i know you are well educated with the Honda crowd, but, the JRSC on the Miata is mounted what we refer to as "hotside", meaning the s/c is NOT taking place of the intake manidolf like 99%of the other kits using roots blowers do.

Damn, i feel bad about threadjacking this... SORRY!? Blower has the lowest $ per hp but I think a gt28rs would be sweet on your car but I guess you make the power you are comfortable with?
I dunno about the hp/$ because on the white miata... i got the whole JRSC, intercooler, install, injectors and SAFC with tuning for about $1200Oh ok, I was thinking it was mounted on the intake side and the pipe just ran from the intake side to the cooler and back to the throttle body. Maybe an 11psi pulley for a little more tire smoke
And for the paint not being the same.. that was the idea... since the miata isnt a 787B, it shouldnt look exactly the same. Mazda North America did a new Miata like this (my inspiration) and the green and orange was more like what i have... THE MAZDASPEED NC clicky here
seriously.. sorry for the thread jack (again)

i dont recall saying her car was rice... i dont think it is... the reason i said the "it wasnt riced out "wasnt in referral to meaning her car was... i was inadvertantly saying it was clean and so was the yellow one i saw... whereas most people who have a non R yellow Teg are rice.. but then again, thats my perception from being in gwinnett too long.
BTW, they didnt pick the orange/green.. i did to show my loyalty to Mazda and their motorsports program. Modeled after this car who entered and won 24hrs lemans with rotary power on their first attempt.

ok so you win, I will be honest and say that R81 (or whatever) is a nice looking car but they colors arent exactly the same, I like the mazada le man's car better. Shows how little I know about Mazda.never really cared. however i was always a fan of the pearl one w/ gt3's. And knowing Allison I stood up for her and it seemed like you said "I saw a riced out integra like that one" ment you think both cars are rice, the one you saw and Allison.
as for tank, we will never get along because he is too damn ignorant too look past my car at me and gave me all kind of hell about my car when he was still in Xlr8shen. I honestly didn't have a problem with andrew but obviously he has something internally against me. the only problem i have with him is how he liked to talk shit about me.
And now I have a greater appreciation on the color scheme of your miata mike. Honest. hope there are no hard feelings.later.
Now: Back to Allisons Car Pics... (with the exception of Tanks further shit talking towards me to come...)
How can you call someone ignorant??ok so you win, I will be honest and say that R81 (or whatever) is a nice looking car but they colors arent exactly the same, I like the mazada le man's car better. Shows how little I know about Mazda.

You read the post wrong and then started ripping on people.
That Miata and Supra own you Honda boy...Keep running those 15's, but please make sure you have a pro driver to do so.
Some people.

Supra > SC Miata > Civic thanks for stating the obvious.
it is the internet, things get taken wrong and things are said. I apologized to mike, and admited i was wrong. So in my opinion its over, nothing has been said about it in weeks... thanks for beating a dead horse.
and as for you, you have no idea about me and tanks history so maybe you should stay out of it? I dunno.

Glad you're in check with your "greater than" symbol.

honest mistake, I have apologized, I was in the wrong, I admitted it, theres really no need to make it any bigger of a deal than it already has been... bump for Allison.
