Oh Geez

[time2getdirty]

this one will end up with a hard top though so its not as girly. It is also not surf blue and will soon be desert tan or flat black.

It also has a turbo.

Install VirtualBox for free and you can run Windows in a VM. You need a Windows license though. There is no way to run them natively.

Tried using wine bottler but no success with how new my mac is apparently. Ohwell, stole my roommates pc, but oh wait my serial to usb adapter is sliced. Guess one more day of driving the rich pig.

Some updates:
Bought new rear tires for the 15x9.5s
Bought snow wheels and tires
Bought hardtop
Plastidipped
550CC injectors
Bought a laptop older than me to tune with.

Every day I turn the boost up a psi. I started around 5 and now am at 10psi. Traction will break in lower gears. Made a deal with a work friend on a 5.7 vortech, 4l60e and the ecu and harness out of a 99 Tahoe we are parting out.
Currently have it getting ~35 mpg in-between Laramie and Cheyenne. When my fiancé and I finally buy a house and I get my truck I will start the monster swap.

Re: The Colorado BS thread

I currently have one motor mount done on the Miata. Pretty big accomplishment even if it's just one side.

Damn military and significant other have put this on the back burner. I only work on it about once a week and I am going to be leaving monday through april 16th. I have most of the interior stripped, the motor and trans mounted and the headers started. I need to do the radiator, rear diff, driveshaft, weld up the engine bay, de power the steering, and fill the fluids. My dad is going to wire the thing up hopefully for me and deal with the vacuum and fuel lines. then it should move enough to get to Wyoming and hopefully into a house with a garage were I will finish and refine it. This is just a 350 and th350 out of a 77. I have a vortec 5.7 up in Wyoming waiting on me, I also am going to do a rear 8.8 out of a tbird with 3.07s instead of these 4:10s since I am going from a .8 to a 1 final drive in the transmission. I have been looking to cam and throw a 150 shot at it when it is done and moving nicely.

I will post pictures later.

David is currently in Texas for AF tech school and I am incapable of posting pics.

Just try to imagine an old chevy V8 in a miata...
