Monday is the only day I'll have free. I have scheduled dinners Tues and Wednesday and I leave Thursday (driving up to Sandusky to see my company's production facility and then straight back down to the airport in Detroit).

beat3r, what's your real name?

Dunno, I'm not him? They aren't gonna warranty something aftermarket no matter how hard he tries. The car isn't factory Turbo, why would they warranty it. The previous owner put a cheap used turbo on it. He should have looked it over better and realized that.

Interesting......

Timmy, explain to me why every car running in STS at the pro-level is 93 or older miata?

doesn't make sense that the 1.6l would be faster than the 1.8l unless I'm missing something.

or perhaps the ones that won are just better prepped/piloted? because I see one 96 but he finished last...

93 and earlier miatas have a 4.3:1 rear end... once you add power mods to equal a 1.8 the 1.6's have better autox gearing.

that's my theory at least.

prep and piloting is a factor too i'm sure.
