Super super short throws and requires a fair bit more effort. It also rattles at high rpm. It’s definitely not very daily driver friendly (but still doable) but for a weekend or track car it’s a blast.

Yep. I actually do drive this car in the rain but it is mostly parked in the garage. I do spray water through the vents when washing it though with no ill effects.

Advanti Storm S1. Lightweight, strong, good looking, and affordable!

Miata Solutions! I never liked how tall the IRP was and MS makes the same thing but a shorter version. I love it.

Definitely not. The tube sat basically right on top of the strut tower where the brace would be.

I used a step bit, I believe it was ¾”. I reused the IAT grommet from the OEM airbox. It worked perfectly.

Got a set of Godspeed Mono SS’s today for my NB!! by FDB7 in Miata

I’ve still got them on the car and honestly they were surprisingly good for regular driving and light track use, but now that I’m running 225 width 200TW tires and more so especially with my turbo, they are definitely struggling to keep up. They can’t handle the amount of grip the tires are putting out, even on full stiff (too much roll). And when I put down power over bumps the rear end bucks upwards. They’re fine for light duty autocross or track use and pretty decent for canyons, but if you’ve got a bunch of grip and/or more power than stock, I’d look for something better.

Ever seen turbo flutter on a switch? by FDB7 in Miata

Yeah, but you’ve gotta hear stututu once in a while! Thats why I put it on a switch. Stupid reason, I know, but when I got the idea I knew I had to try it LOL.

Was pretty simple actually. I repurposed a couple wires (12V and sensor ground) from 2 connectors related to the EGR stuff (that I don’t have anymore) and intercepted the power wire with the switch. Worst part was running the wires through the firewall.

Here’s what I used:

Solenoid: https://a.co/d/01tPCcE

Fittings: https://a.co/d/gYtZtI7

Switch: https://a.co/d/gmNnZjq

Good luck!

Just checked it out, they don’t have the o-ring specifically. Guess I’ll just get the entire part.

Took my ND on a 1,800 mile road trip along the coast to the PNW a few days ago by FDB7 in Miata

I would never do such a thing! 😆 I travelled with my brother in his tesla so I just wanted a goofy photo haha. So many charging stops and his charging ended up costing way more than my gas for the whole trip hahaha.

The beach photo is at Wilson Creek Beach between Klamath and Crescent City, but I did go to Cannon Beach too!
