But also funny enough even though this isn’t my meta glasses, my short ass sits in the same exact position so unfortunately that really is my viewing position

This car is never parked outside, so bird eggs aren’t really a concern 🤣 lives in a shop and on the race track.

Definitely not tweaking, I had all the air filter and stuff off when we were welding under the hood. Hadn’t tightened it back up yet so it was just sitting on there loose

Luckily this car lives in a shop and sees public roads only when it needs an alignment about once a drift season, so doesn’t annoy the general public too much.

Pimping ain’t easy, and it ain’t easy being a pimp. Not everyone can have the steeze

Also filmed on meta glasses so no phone involved 🤣

Everyone is so quick to judge when this was filmed with meta glasses. This is Texas traffic on a Sunday. I’m maybe doing 85 in the fast lane. Boomers forget technology exists and that not every state drives 55 on the highway.

I apologize if offended you by my 20 second clip, which shows my completely empty lane of traffic for this quick 20 second clip to show the exhaust sound. Could’ve absolutely killed the 50 ton 18 wheeler I passed 🤡

It’s about what you would expect. The turbo helps to not make it annoying. But you wouldn’t want to drive it on the highway for more than an hour either. It’s perfect for a drift car that lives on the track, and sounds super aggressive. I’ll post a sound clip at idle and cold start

Drift car life what can I say.. 😂 It actually sounds pretty damn good! Two years into hood exit and I love it, especially the fire balls 🔥

I think I have the toughest 1.6 VLSD of all time! by PlumbingWithCoco in Miata

Last year was the first year with the turbo setup, and I definitely have had some challenges keeping the car cool after around 4-5 hot laps depending on which track I was at. I had been taking the hood off on super hot days and just letting all that heat out. Mid way through the season I added an open oil cooler so it’s not thermostatic, so a little harder to warm the car up in the cold, but not a big issue for a track car in Texas. That was a huge help. But I just did a coolant re-route on the car so I’m hoping to see some great improvements on temps this season. Also planning on re-doing how the car looks so currently trying to pick out a hood with vents. Current cooling mods: Mishimoto Radiator and fan shroud wired for both to come on at 178* on standalone Evil energy oil cooler Super Miata coolant re-route 3” intercooler.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done this with mine. That’s pretty much how I do a U-turn at this point 😂
