Looks great fella,

Where too did you get the carbon parts under the bay?

Loving some of the touches Under the bonnet and the steering wheel!

just leaving a few new pics:
The wishbones are still at powdercoating so the car has got a new temporary chassis:

Evolity brake lines have been added

and Superpro bushings are waiting to be fitted

 

[Mark.T]

There's some work going on there!

 

[S S]

Some serious work!!

 

[HMT]

Alright, the engine as it is now:

It's now running and just has to be mapped and legalized...and it has to stop snowing soon!

Video or it didn't happen. Looks effing fantastic.

Unfortunately, there's not much progress - still having trouble with the airbox so it currently looks like this:

On the upsude: Alignment is done and the car now sits like this:

Also, for some protection without looking to flashy, an HD Deuce found its way into the car:

Quality car with some very nice parts. I have a similar carboon timing cover as yours to go on soon. Keep up the good work.

 

[RJack]

[HMT]

Almost there

 

[HMT]

Ready for a spin?

As of today, the car is street legal so that we hopefully can enter the Starmaxx Rallye 2013 THIS WEEKEND and make up for the complete breakdown last year :banana: Well excited now! :blob:

Ace, but how can you not run the ITB's open on x4 filters? I would never be able to plumb them back into a CAI again lol.

 

[HMT]

Because we are in germany and this is street legal now

Besides, it's also a bit better for IAT and initial pick up on abrupt acceleration.

Asthetically it's a shame of course...

 

[CarbonMiata]

Amazing looking motor!!! Wow!

Right, the car is now running for a few weeks and only shows some problems with the idle regulation. Somehow i cant get it to idle below 1500 rpm when warmed up. Hopefully a new idle regulator will change this. Other than that, it's fun. The new parts - especially suspension and chassis - really have brought the car to another level. My favourite additions: Superpro Poly Bushes, BC Racing coilovers and FM Clutch. The new brakes and lines as well inspire confidence (although on some rare occasions i lose the brake assist, which can be scary).

The engine will need a bit more tuning and some timing modifications on the cams but its running well - still a bit on the hot side but way better than before.

As always, it's a work in progress

Here's two pictures from the rally event in blackwood forest 2 weeks ago:

Hope to have some better pictures soon...
