Thanks, last time it was dyno'ed it was at 5psi which made a wapping 140rwhp which is about 50 over stock believe it or not. Running more timing and 10psi now so I have no idea. I have had a Megasquirt w/PNP harness, GM AIT, VTPS, Injectors, etc. so once I get around to that and have it tunes right afterwards it will be set for 15lbs and make 250rwhp at about 230tq which is what they all make at that kinda boost. Nothing crazy but due to weight make the car extremely fun to drive and toss around.

Thanks, just recently changed from Tein Basics to BC Racing BR-Type coilovers which I went with a more aggressive spring rate setup. So it ride stiffer but I really like it over the squish feel expecially when being so low. Front wheels want to rub some times when turning but rears never due. If I rased the car a 1/4" i could drive it has hard as I could with no rubbing what so ever. Not sure how but it's one of those things that you see it accept it and move on. lol.

Damn that is a very clean ride. Wheels look awesome and super aggressive. Power wise for the weight i'm sure it is a very fun vehicle.

WOW...looks awesome!

What is the offset of those wheels?

Did you have to modify any part of the suspension to get them to fit (spacers and so on)?

What tire size are you running?

16x9.5 all the way around with 245/35R16 T1R's. Front offset is +29 rear offset is +22. Rolled rear fenders, moded liners, and some camber that's it. No spacers wheels were custom built to those specs.

one of te nicest miata that i have seen in awhile but with all that camber in the rear, i think you will go through tires fast.
