I made a dock for my iPod nano in the center consol, near the side mirror controls. There was a change holder there that I cut out. I think some models had other things there, that shouldn't be cut out. And no, the shifter does not hit it. It's not even very close.

 

Its because it would have to travel thru the AFM which is very sensitive and would probably damage it. Perhaps rusting things like your throttle body plates and no telling what else you have. And water injection is in small amounts and its regulated, not just a flow of water in to the combustion chamber.

 

I swapped in Miata gears. The shorter ratios are great for road racing, and the swap was not difficult at all. I love it, and would never go back to stock ratios. RX-7tII88, I like the ipod dock!!

 

how well is that holding up? the miata box

 

It's doing great. It was in excellent condition when I bought it, I didn't have to replace 3rd, or any sychros. Absoloutly no complaints.

 

i found myself using a large (LARGE) ubolt around the rear differential for drag racing purposes because i keep dominating my diff. mount.



i need some pics of my current engine bay. you would be impressed...( i got REALLY bored)
this is the old one. now, imagine, no top mount, no engine wiring harness, no chassis wiring harness, or coils, or relays......

 

Thats uber sick man!! Trailor park pinion snubber - haha

 

As far as the T2 hood scoop being used for you intake collector, I believe most of the T2 guys found the scoop to be a low pressure area and had much better luck with a reverse scoop at which point you'd want to use one of the ram air hoods like some of the old muscle cars.

I've got a convertible for my parts car, and was thinking about swapping over some of the chasis reinforcements, but not sure it'd be worth the weight (my suspension is already more stiff than the sidewalls on my tires can handle.)

If I had tokico illumina's instead of hp's I'd run some stepper motors to adjust each individual shock on the fly.

I've also considered running a regulator on a bottle of compressed air that feeds into the intake, sort of like a cross between Nitrous Oxide and Turbo. Not sure if it would work or not, but kinda fun thinkin about recharging your "NoS" system at any ole gas station.

 

you would need a lot more psi than a gas station could provide try 3000.

I have heard of people using compressed air to run a directed nozle that points at the turbine to keep it spooled during shifting or off the line.

i dont see how that does anything? looks like its just dangling there.. do you have any other angles of it?

i dont as of right now, but its held against the red crossmember quite tightlightly.

what was happening is wheel hop was murdering my mount, and becauasei honesly dont have the money to redo the entire rear suspensoion. this helped to keep it attahced to the crossmember and reduces the flexing and shocks. Datsun guys did stuff like this.

 

I have heard about newer cars shutting down half their cylinders to improve gas mileage on highways.

I was thinking.... if you got up to speed on the highway, what if you could stop 1 of your rotors? Would it mess things up if you stopped the fuel and spark on 1 rotor? Just thoughts.....

 

^ pretty sure its been attempted before

 

would have to ensure the oil injection system would still work...

 

What tools did you use to do the water jacket mod?

 

wouldn't it be easier to just use a solid dif mount? wouldn't look like there's something hanging from behind.

in pic #2, where's #3??

 

I suppose this qualifies as another chance to ***** my car out. If you cant see the mod then your blind . . .

 

pretty sure its been tried, and pretty sure it didn't make any power, since i have never seen anyone actually do it, but i thought rerouting your AC back into the intake might make some power. probably the parasitic drag overcomes the power gain from the cold air.

another idea i had was using an electric supercharger, but i don't think the stock charging system is up to it. then i thought about making a conversion kit for a 42V system.

 

again. money related constrants and time. the ubolt was on hand. been working well too.

and there was a few pictures. the #3 was on a seperate picture as there was a list showing what the numbers meant.

 

i did that modern taillight mod last night. looks sweet!

 

pics

 

oooooohhhhh, i didnt realize it was pressing on the subframe. the angle its attached makes it look like it not on there, but i see now. pretty cool

 

S0tatic i envy your targa FC, problems and all. It is very unique.

My idea is to have two DSM turbos mounted directly onto exhaust ports. Sure, there are better ways, but the turbos are like $20 each at a junkyard, and the manifold would be fairly cheap. the turbos have internal W/G and an ebay intercooler would be ~ $200 plus pipng. Use a stock DSM BOV from the junkyard, and you have a very cheap twin turbo setup that would give decent numbers as well.
