Hey Robert, how are things going?

About 4 years ago I bought a red 93 Miata from ya'll, and got you to put a Borla on it. Are you the blonde guy that had the turbo Miata?

Yep, thats me, how are doing John? I sold that one, turbo'd another one, sold that one, got tired of hauling spare trans and diff with me to events so I built a LS1 miata. I'll have it at the PBOC event on 11/17 and 18 at Barber to give it a try. Good to hear from you.

It's got to be an awesome ride....

460 rwhp/418rwtq at 10.6:1scr 93 octane, no knock count. T56 Aston Martin output shaft with AM no overdrive 5th/6th gears and Ford 8.8 IRS out back. The car weighs 2555 full of fluids and with about 1/2 tank of fuel. The car looks almost totally stock, different wheels/tires of course, and then the flyin miata extractor hood is pinned on, but other than that its a standard issue girl car until it fires up. There wasn't much room for an exhaust so there is nothing sleeper about that part. The car has diff and trans coolers mounted where the trunk floor used to be with a fan on top, 10pt cage, ARE dry sump system, STACK display, tubular control arms with rod end attachments, Wilwood/DBA brake kit, and the list goes on. The goal was to build a momentum car like a spec miata but with the power and reliability of a GM LSx car...we shall see, its first real outing will be the week after next at Barber. I need to find some pics, whats your e-mail?
