If you bet against me, you won!

About two weeks ago I started a thread listing my mods and ask "am I done yet?" The almost unanimus resposne was a resounding NO!
Last week I went onto the Osris website looking for a local shop to do the tune and I found one less than 20 miles away. Took a ride there and I thought that I had died and went to tuner heaven.The cars I saw, the tuning going on! Had a nice talk with the owner, told him what I had done so far (he is a pro racer-race instuctor (nasa) and races Zs'.There were 3 350s' in various stages of build.
He told me that before the tune I should install hfcs' and then tune on the dyno.(which of you all suggested that?)On top of that he gave me a package deal on the hfcs' uptune and dyno. Damn I'm weak when it come to package deals.I made an appointment for a week from Monday to have it done.
So far;
R2C cai
m 370 intake manifold
Tanabe Y pipe and cbe
nismo rocker panels and under body spoiler
oem rear spoiler
JDM fog lamp and harness
evo-r cf fang cover and rear defuser
Stillen front splitter
What next?

Definitely wheels, the base 18s are light but leave a lot to be desired in the looks department. Trust me, I know.

Right now I'm leaning twards a vlsd in the fall, and 19' wheels when my oem tires wear out.

red6spd · 06-03-2011, 07:59 AM

Oil Cooler.

SP00LN · 06-03-2011, 09:24 AM

Suspension before wheels

unless your tracking the car, the stock suspension is sufficient.

Maybe I should have clarified...

I meant suspension before wheels as in lower it to eliminate wheel gap before wheels

Don't mess around with a vlsd out of the SP car, Just get a real LSD and you won't look back unhappily...

Definitely get an Oil Cooler as you all know these cars overheat and blow up if you don't have an Oil Cooler, unless you got the Miata Door upgrade package then the care is bulletproof and nothing else can go wrong with it.

I heard Chuck Norris once broke his little toe when he kicked an Z with the Miata door mod..
