Looks good. I use redline for my diff and trans fluid but unfortunately I
need a new rear end in mine. Hows the emissions in your area because I know
I smog regs in california suck. I'm just gonna go with a cat back system
instead of turboback.

edit: in the pix, thats not glare, but light reflecting in my lens or off

OK so we got everything done over the weekend.
Started saturday night at around 9, wrapped up around midnight.
At that point, we had the whole front suspension reassembled and spark
plugs in. All that was left was to torque down the upper control arm bolts
because we were missing a socket with the right drive for the torque wrench
Started sunday morning at around 11, were completely done everything else
and had the car driving around at 4:30
Feels very different now!

Whats with the zoom in on the boost gauge and shock?
Spanky2324
Just to show the boost gauge placement and OEM Bilstein shocks.

Oh I love the 6ULs, I wish they had come out with them when I had mine.
Id recommend getting some Azenis, best damn tires for a miata.
Do you think that diffuser is really gonna do anything or is it an
appearance mod.
Enthusiast
Diffuser is appearance only, IMO it wouldnt have much aero effect on this
car as it sits now unless I got sheetmetal and covered the entire underside
of the car then leading to a diffuser.
newyorker
Which I dont reccomend doing. It could have more ill effects than benefits.
Enthusiast
I wouldnt do it, just saying...kinda how race cars have it for that
slipstream effect.
