just my 2 cents.....

from what ive read the miata tranny and diff can handle 300rwhp pretty good unless u start power shifting and dropping the clutch at 7k but then again i don't have any experience with killing the drivetrain just yet........oh and u'll love the clutch.....i drove my miata too hard NA and made the stock clutch slip in about 6 months.....it eventually gripped again but didn't clamp as hard as i wanted it to......triple puck ceramic and pp with a new flywheel went in and man do i love it.....oh and im turbo too now so even better....no slippin so far

also damnit...i wish i lived in TX cause i dunno anyone in CA that is a DIY'er so i have to pay for the welding and stuff cause i can't fit a welder in my apartment bleh.....and i gotta rebuild my head and maybe even bottom end......any SoCal peeps wanna help me do some DIY rebuilding hehe......man I don't like going to mechanics

damn i just realized im in a haze of anger from being an insomniatic (if thats a word) and just jabbering on about nothing......

LOOKS GOOD!! im in the works of a turbo kit myself, were did you find that manifold? i think that will flow alot better than a logger style!!

[miatadrifter]

It is a Racing Mazda manifold. they went out of business I think though. It should spool about 400 rpms faster than a log style since its is equal length.

[miatadrifter]

Well I got it running kinda of. I have to set the timing then I can drive it hard!! Udated pictures...





the rest of the pictures are here
