That is Chris Lee's NA Miata. I was running a FMII Turbo Kit, but I think he has uped the size of the turbo for more power. It is Stateside and VERY nice. I know him via Miata.net.

Yea... I know the owner Ric pretty well. But with the Mazsport.net 13B install kit it comes with all the stuff to install the Turbo-II rearend under the Miata as well as the motor mounts, driveshaft, tranny mount, etc... Thanks for looking out though.

yeah, i want a rx7 lsd. they're almost cheaper, than torsen lsd these days.
anyone know if a mazdaspeed lsd comes in something besides 2way?

chris's miata is hot. iirc, he finally moved to socal, so i'm guessing he's right at home...hahaha

Yea... I'm pretty sure he is in SoCal now. He has the original hood that we were gonna get the mold from for that CF hood I was gonna buy.

The hood I was looking at was pure dry carbon... The OEM hood weighs about 25lbs all together, but the one I was looking at was around 10lbs or so. The reason I was gonna get it was because of the way it was vented so it would flow air nicely over a V-Mount Intercooler Setup...

Fuel pump took a shit on me today... So not only did I get to order a Garage Vary Front Lip, but also got to order a Walbro 190lph HP Fuel Pump for her. Who knows... A new clutch and APEXi S-AFCII might be next.
