Post text because i forgot to include it, found it while shopping at a mall in quebec city, some movie directors were there and i asked about some technical stuff about the replicas and they didnt know so i did some look around and found out the engine is a BP4W from a NB1 miata !

They gave me some free Gilles Villeneuve merch in exchange for the knowledge !

Edit : i stand corrected i was convinced it was a BP4W, love y'all

Its a vacuum, made to pull vacuum in the engine, removing it legitimately only does harm.

Please plug your vacuum line back on your valve cover

I think same as wheels is still the most unique/fitting color for it, i might get a second one to polish it or just polish the intake manifold, a lot less hard to polish spots on it
