I really do like the spartan interior tho,if your comfortable driving in it then who cares what the interior looks like.

Sounds like you entered your numbers wrong.

You entered:
110 flywheel horsepower + 2100 lbs = 7.635s

You should have entered:
110 WHP + 10% = 121 flywheel HP
121 flywheel horsepower + 2100 lbs = 7.108s

On another note....my car came up at a 0-60 of 3.6s....LOL

twas a long day yesterday putting in the rollbar with a friend

I'm so happy it's finally in. Now I just need seats bolted to the floor so my head doesn't smack the bar.

wheresmycar · 02-20-2011, 11:36 PM

It can be dangerous out there.
Here. Take this:

I guess cutting out foam in the seat won't lower you enough to clear the bar.

fitftw · 02-21-2011, 12:04 AM

lol @ the pool noodle and frat shirt and bmw hat. Trifecta. Oddly enough, I'm 6'0 and when I sit in my driving position (not what I'll be in at the track) I am a good 2" or so under the bar. In everyday driving I'll be fine, but by summer I'll need a nice new seat and harnesses. Just sucks that I won't be able to remove the seatbelts unless I remove the bar and I'm definitely never doing that considering how much of a bitch it was to get in there.

wheresmycar · 02-21-2011, 02:05 AM

Which rollbar did you pick?

fitftw · 02-21-2011, 08:47 AM

hard dog hardcore hardtop

wheresmycar · 02-21-2011, 10:24 AM

What is left on your plans besides more HP?

fitftw · 02-21-2011, 02:46 PM

racing beat tubular front sway, FM butterfly brace, harness bar, seats&harness, MSPNP ecu, koyo 37mm rad, and big brake kit. Basically I have another 2 to 4 years left til this project is complete

**Got Insulin?** · 02-21-2011, 05:29 PM

What exactly are you building this car for....?

fitftw · 02-21-2011, 07:18 PM

for my own satisfaction and summer autox. Mostly I just want to make my car badass, like everybody else does.

Win.

fitftw · 02-23-2011, 04:38 PM

black silicon hoses arrived from Hose Techniques! Pics tomorrow after I get it done. Then the only thing left to do is paint the cam cover and my bay will finally be pleasing to the eye.

TalonTsi97 · 02-23-2011, 05:50 PM

Just curious if you ever seen this guys car/setup? He's been building some pretty nice dsm for years and got a miata a while back. This is his newest video, makes me want to own one even more.

fitftw · 02-23-2011, 06:04 PM

never seen him, where does he live? That's the cleanest Sunburst I've ever seen...

old hoses

new look

still got a ways to go to make the bay look presentable. Need a wire tuck. Will pay if someone wants to do it. It's come a long way from this mess:

TalonTsi97 · 02-23-2011, 06:26 PM

I meant did you see it as in on forums/big event/youtube before. He's on the east coast IIRC but not in PA. He's been building nice budget projects for years.

MX5 · 02-23-2011, 06:54 PM

Adam, what color are you thinking about for the cam cover?

fitftw · 02-23-2011, 07:06 PM

Talon, haven't seen his car on miata.net but I'm sure he's on there lol

Dave, probably black with a CF spark plug cover. I might sand off the lettering, get some cam gears, and cut the cover.

fitftw · 02-25-2011, 03:42 PM

Ever since I was looking for a Miata, I wanted this finish panel/taillights, so I'm going to make damn sure I purchase this next paycheck. I don't know why I find this so damn beautiful, but I do.
