Completed the exhaust, sounds should be fine with regards to loudness. I also made a split turndown at the end to try and direct sound out either side.
I've spent some time fixing little things. My fender flares had some rivets pull through from cone contact. I am replacing them with these plastic rivets in hopes that the large heads prevents pull through and if the do see a force hopefully the plastic rivet fails first. I have been using unbooted brakes for about 1.5 seasons now by just disconnecting the vacuum hose. I like it. I going to make it more official and install a true unboosted master setup with this adapter plate. Waiting on the master to show up. Like everyone I am just waiting for coronavirus to be done and get back to racing. Once the brakes are back together I want to get out there and rework the tune. Id really like to get VVT working as that is long overdue.

Progress is slow but thats how it is anymore. The non-racing season is getting long.
Finished the brake booster. I pieced together my components trying to save a few bucks. I should have bought the chase bay kit, would have made my life much easier. Anyway after many iterations this is where I'm at. My summit cart trigger finger got happy: Went a 100 lb/inch stiffer with helper springs to try and fix some of the understeer issues I've been having. I also lift an inside rear wheel sometimes, the helper spring should help. They are not just zero rate tenders, they actually have some rate to them and should help extended the shock faster. That's the hope at least.

No rear bar, which I believe will only increase the effectiveness of the helpers

Disappointing post but I dug a miata out today. Race miata still buried in the background.

Backyard is new to us, hence the lack of miata content. Many new house things still to do, but the view is alright haha. Come to the poconos and live the good life I am probably going to sell the white miata and buy a RX-8 but getting that car out reminds me how fun it is. RX-8 allows for the family, and is about as close to a miata as you get.

I must be convincing. Less than a month later this is my next resurrection project:

its an 04 GT manual with a blown engine. Plan right now is to pick up a japan import engine get the car running. see if we like it and decide how far we want to take it. Rebuilt engine prices are disappointing

Well since my last post we figured out that child number 2 is on the way which meant our ~2 year plan for house stuff got shortened to 1. this also means car activities have been basically non-existent.
I guess I never posted last time I autocrossed the black car (september last year) something bad happened in the pits. Long story shortened, my radiator fan stopped blowing and I didn't realize until far too late. My temp gauge conveniently was also not working. The car really started running like crap, like it was down a cylinder or two. I haven't worked on it until last night (~9 month delay) but finally put it in the garage. Compression was good, sparkplug were carboned up like misfires but the spark test showed to be good. Tunerstudio showed a sync error between crank/cam sensor. My cam sensor is new so I am suspect of the crank sensor and will be changing that. If I can get if figured out the car is ready to go and hopefully I can make it out to an autox or two before number two arrives in december.

Welp as most of TST im getting old and cars are less and less a priority. The Miata sold on Saturday so the adventures in Miataland are over. I enjoyed the experience but it was time.
