This was Farmington drag strip in February. Kevin opened the track up for a ferrarichat get together. I just kind of tagged along. I managed to beat most everything out there with a lousy 7 PSI of boost. It was mostly M3's that ran. They all stopped running me after a while. 

This was the last Event of the 2004 season. It was at the Dixie Classic Fairgrounds in November. This was my first race on Hoosiers, I was running 195 Azeni's before and they didn't even come close to holding all the power. The Hoosiers are pretty much racing slicks and they are 225's so I have a lot more grip. I think I was third or fourth fastest time of the day. Not bad considering there were well over a hundred cars there.

An innocent looking Miata. (Insert evil laugh here)

Engine bay.

Christmas Time!

What went wrong?

So far I've lost an engine. The number four cylinder went lean. I addes the dual feed fuel rail to keep it from happening agian.

I broke a transmission a few months back. I got on it when it was still cold and I heard a clicking sound. I tried to make it home but it eventually locked up tight.

I've replaced the clutch pack and slave cylinder. It used to have a 4 puck SPEC clutch in it. That thing sucked, it shuddered chattered and was way to grabby. Lucky me when I blew the engine I saw it was worn out so I got the ACT and I've been happy with that.

I've Also had to replace the entire wiring harness on the car because a previous owner butchered it.

The car is modified so I expect problems every now and then. All in all its been pretty good to me so far.

Outstanding Issues:

• Headlights do not pop up automaticly, they have to be cranked up. (This will be fixed prior to sale)
• Small oil leak from dip stick. (this will be fixed prior to sale)
• Exhaust rattle at idle (this is due to the 3" exhaust tapping the transmission)

Cosmetic Issues:

• Dent in Drivers door
• Air dam missing from front
• Rear bumber damage (Mostly covered by decal)
• A and B pillar paint cracks (This is due to torque flex)
• Misc chips and scratches
• Driver seat shows some minor wear on the piping.

Summary

I'm trying to be as open and honest as I can about the car. It is quick and a blast to drive but it is a modified car. If you are not mechanicly inclined then it is not for you. If you have any questions please feel free to E-mail me at lemon4sale@gmail.com .
