i'm almost sure i blew it...
That's right. I think i just popped my first motor... 85 in 3rd gear just wasn't that smart of me...
Gsl-se
racing beat header/presilencer
ebay cannon muffler
miata intake filter
2nd gear coil
zoom zoom.. boom boom..
the car still runs, but pretty awfully.. acceleration is gone, and it sounds like i have a vacuum leak now with the way if fluxuates at 'idle'...i think a lost an apex seal, gonna try to confirm in the morning.. so anyone possibly interested with trading me a running motor for a blown 13b and 12a ?

so... anyone up for trading a running car (almost anything) for my gslse with blown apex seal and another non running 12a? I'm thinking about it pretty hard right now, seeing how i'm broke...

I blew my car up tuesday I think. I traded it for a 73 ford F-100 no p/s or p/b. I drove it over to the guys house and it topped out at 45mph. He said if it still drove like that then it must be the carb or somehting not a blown motor. Where in South Carolina are you?

If you want a beater to have temporaily, Go to the goodwill charity auto auctions. I have bought several rex's there at very low prices. I got my 92 pathfinder that i drive every day for $500, put $120 of stuff like brakes on it, and drove it. My pathfinder was considered an expensive car from there. Its worth checking out.
