sorry to hear about the ankle, funny i was thinking about trading my truck i never use to get a s14. just a thought. :12dunno

i think an s14 would be a great platform for you to rock. you should look for a zenki though, 97-98 only look good kitted up imo.

I think he said it right, just a little hard to read with the way he put it. Trust me Todd he knows his 240s. Better than any of us.

When can I get that stuff from you? I need them by 4th of July weekend. I have the cash ready, and a garage lined up starting that Friday. Let me know when and where you want to meet.

I know your not trying to flame but seeing arron and ashlys taste in cars, i think they steer twards a more cleaner look. people who love kits usually dont know how to drive. unless they have endless amounts of money to replace that stuff, and just dont care. Im more of a go hard or go home kinda guy.

btw, thanks for the brief history lesson...but i think you should read my post again.

Cool. Give me a # where I can call you and we can work out a time to meet and a final price for everything. Sunday sounds good, and I only need it all in Dover for now. Thanks again.

I'll probably come down to aaron's house wednesday

My coilpack went bad(10k miles after warranty), not that much of a shock though there are some out there with lower mileage than me who've had to replace thiers.

99-00 original factory coilpacks have a knack for having a short-lifespan, about 20 people on the miata.net forums have had them replaced. Seems like an issue that affected many but not enough to send out a service recall.

I ordered mines last week, came in today. I'll be putting it in wed.

For some of those that know, my check engine light was on for a while. I had originally thought it was the 02 sensor or at worst the warm-up cat which is what the odbII scanner was giving me. I took it to the dealer because federal emissions warranty is 96k miles, free replacement cat.

Turns out the Coilpack went/or is going bad, causing a misfire in the ignition system and crapping the cat out. I remember how fouled my spark plugs were when I last checked them, the idle was a bit higher and rougher, there seemed to be somewhat of a drop in power and there were the few times that the engine would run on 3cylinders until I resetted the ecu by disconnecting the battery cable.

So they didn't charge me a thing and tell me once I put in my coilpack, bring it back for the free replacement cat :)
