right now it's just got a few Flyin Miata parts here and there...still need to open the exhaust a bit more and switch to a stand alone ecu. but I'm happy with it for now. It's as fast if not fast than my 8 was turbo'd and it makes daily driving around town feel like a track day

Should be fun to meet some new folks.
Well other than my rims my car looks pretty stock from the outside. The entire interior and dash has been gutted and rebuilt. We found some major flaws in Mazda's engineering with the electrical system and the NAV configuration. I now know all the secrets as to why the factory NAV sucks ***. Lets just say that the inside is one of a kind

Sorry but there wont be any pictures before the meet. Car is still in my shop working on a few minor details. Then next week it is going over to Charlie at Mazcare to get a few additional mods. He will be the only one to see it before we meet. Hopefully I can get him to install my MS package before then too

Look forward to seeing everyone there!!!

Ahhh! Sorry, can't come. I will have to come to the one in July. That's too bad because I really did want to come. I wanted to see the guy's car with over $20k into it. Maybe play a little Halo 2 inside his car! HAHA, that would be insane! I am going to be out of town June 17-24. Oh well, the beach won't be too bad either!

L8, I sometimes forget to check the SE forum and our website, so if you could PM me the time and date of the meet in July, once it is decided, I would love to go and would really appreciate it.

Hey Everybody,

I have lurked a bit here and there but never had/made the time to join in. I’ll like to meet some fellow owners – especially since you all seem to have a lot fun - and will join in Wednesday.

Look forward to meeting everyone!

Chris

great, look forward to meeting you.

to whoever gets there first, I will try to be there first, should not be hard, but just in case:

try to park off to one side, or at the back of the lot on the north end, or anywhere that we can get as much space as possible.


see you all there.

Well Damn! I guess I need to come outa my cave more often so I can see what's going on.
I have been so tied up with "Project Snowball" that it's bordering on obsessive. I am bummed that I'll miss this outing but I like the idea of a monthly thing for sure. I hope to have the big, bad 7 driveable by the weekend which means I will be staying after work to have some private time to finish up the last few things. I miss seeing you guys a lot and am looking forward to Barber in July.

I had it done two weeks ago. At the time my idiot service tech had no idea what the new flash addressed, and he has not looked into it for me, go figure. But I have noticed that the car idles a little better, as for oil consumption dunno, I need to check my oil level, it is about that time again, another 600 miles have passed since I last checked it.

So far so good on the weather. On Sunday it looked like it was going to rain all week, but now it looks like we have sunshine for today and tomorrow.

I guess that means I need to go wash the car, it got kinda dirty sitting for 8 days while I was on vacation. I will have to remember the wheel wells this time, so that when val does his white glove test, I dont have to buy him new white gloves.

see you all there.

I'll be there.

But valpac better stay away from my car with that glove of his. I haven't had a chance to wash it in way too long.
