"Honey Badger" Miata: Turbo Track Build (new brakes installed)

[CleanNeon98]

Because it's the same questions over and over again, I'm tired of answering them. It's not a tune issue, it's not a boost leak (we checked a few times), it's not spark blowout, it's not fuel, yet people insist on bringing these ideas up on a regular basis and I have to explain the same thing time and time and time again. The car is getting fixed, but from this point on, I don't want to talk about it here, it's a lost cause because all of the good advice I got I took and used to diagnose, the rest of the "help" is just unrelated and has been gone over for the past few months.

eh, haters gone hate.. vise versa
everything at some point will be said, over & over again.

like for instance.. if it's your car.. your mods.. and you like it
then that's all that matters and of course you'll hear **** it's common.

Brutal, but hey at least your getting thick skin.

Not that I care and I'm not busting your balls but you could have paid the dealer for an hour worth of diag, so like 90 bucks, and you would know exactly what's wrong with it since you can't seem to figure it out.

Anyway, lip looks good.

I drove the miata in the parking lot last night...I can def feel a difference with the lip....

$90 for them to tell me I have a CEL for being catless, which I knew anyway...your point? There's no diagnosing this issue, just gotta go by the try and repeat method, there's no way to diagnose it without actually doing the work. No CEL, no smell, no smoke, nothing, even the guys on the MSM board were stumped at what it could be.

So what you and everyone else is telling me is to go and piss away money to have something "diagnosed" that can't be diagnosed, that right? I've said it time and time again, you people must just be ignorant or stupid cause I repeat myself over and over again and get the same tard advice.

yep alex, your car is such an exception to the rule that the problem can't be diagnosed.

[CleanNeon98]

Since you always have some smartass remarks maybe you can prove useful. If this was your car and you were to take it to a shop, what would you have them check?

Boost leak?
Sensors?
CEL?
Spark?
Fuel?

Guess what...all been done already, I'm not going to pay a shop hundreds to redo everything I've already done and tell me "we dont have a clue". The car has a few of it's own issues from factory, many of which mechanics and shops don't know about. Best they will do is start throwing parts at my car that it doesn't need, and if I didn't have the slightest clue about my car, I would pay them to do it, as would you. Just stop posting, you're not even funny anymore, you just keep repeating yourself cause you've run out of mildly clever **** to talk.

Best part is, even part-broken, I'm still faster than you.

it's cool to be mad so you have to attack my car...and still be wrong.

so I guess your car is unfixable then, you have the single exception to cars in the entire world.

and if I wanted to be funny, I'd post something like this.

[OWENthatsmyname]

Really? Mocking people cause their car isn't as fast as your 190 or so hp car is.

Well my car has more turbos. More cylinders. More driven wheels. More doors. More seats. Umm.... More speakers. More airbags. More miles.

Less problems? Haha. This is a fun game

lip looks nifty btw

[DPancoast]

not to be one of "those guys" but a shop like R/T tuning charges $10/hr or something cheap like that for diag....

I don't think they would need 10 hours to help you try and figure it out. Regardless. I hope you figure it out soon.

[Asif22]

Here is a sure fire way to fix it!

I've been looking for that!

yo okay I can't take it anymore.

Why does everyone say your car runs like ****? I'm not understanding that.

Wow alex, thanks for the additude, I wasn't even trying to be "one of those guys". I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I've said anything about this subject.

I thought the car was popping, breaking up, and lacking power? You could tell them to diag THAT problem and disregard the catless cel. Like I've said before, if you have a good scan tool and you can plot, record, and monitor values while the car the car is acting up you'd have a very good idea where to go. With a good scan tool you can also run tests, like a injector balance test, something I'm sure you haven't done. This is also why you go to a dealer, where they see the same cars all the time. The fact that you think your problem is not possible to diagnose is just hilarious and you should be embarassed for saying that. Throwing parts at it is going to cost you more in the long run.

But what do I know I'm just some stupid technician and all the msm board guys are god I guess. I bet 10% of the msm guys are real mechanics and the other 90% are obilvious to actually working on a car and fixing it, just like yourself.

Now I guess you'll tell me to never come in this thread again, which ill happily do from now on. Good luck guessing.
