No, oddly enough they never got back to me. I've been able to get the car running and have about 300 miles on it so far. It's not perfect but I have someone stopping by this week to take a look at it to see if he can get it running better for the rest of the break-in cycle. After that, dyno tuning.
Also, does anyone in the area happen to have an FC NA manual transmission laying around that I could ****** up? I would really appreciate it.

Do you currently have one that's broken/not working? I rebuilt the N/A transmission in my FC and am pretty familiar with how they work.

Sweet! I hope to see you at some events, once my car is back up and running... so maybe in like 2020, lol.
And yes, my NA transmission is pretty well munched. I'd gladly consider rebuilding it, but I've never been able to find a manual rebuild kit for one thing. The other thing is that if/when I DO ever rebuild this manual transmission, I'd like to use Miata internals, so for now I'd rather just replace it on the cheap.

I think I got one from a '96, which is one of the earlier 1.8L models. It still had the double-synchro'd 2nd gear, which is an improvement over our stock N/A transmissions. If I recall correctly you can use any of the 5-speed transmissions all the way up to '04, which I think was the last year of the NB Miata. If I were to do it again I'd look for the latest year available since Mazda was constantly revising the transmissions.

SA and FC owner down in Chesterfield. I rarely make it north of the river. I'm currently breaking in my FC by driving around Pocahontas State Park on a nearly daily basis.

Im in chester now. I lived in richmond since 2001. I have a 85 gsl-se going thru a rebuild right now ( 6 port bridge with semi p ). I know plenty of people with rotarys now but we are all spread out.

and making her a little more race prepared
I sold off my 911 Targa before the move to Tampa (and back) 3 years ago (I see it often at the C&CR) and the Miata is still at my folks place up in Stuarts Draft
So if I can get the Blue Jay house sold off this summer I can build a garage at our new place

Sup guys. Just a heads up if you know anyone local. In a couple weeks I’ll be listing my 93 FD with Procharged LS2, 8.8, AC, and tons of goodies. Find my buyer and I’ll give you a few hundred bucks. Will be asking $34k
not a cheap build. 620hp on big pulley, 800 on small one. Pump 93. PM me. Richmond VA
