Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Satellite Radio - Would be cool to get personal player, I would hook it up in my motorcycle helmet. Right now I just use an ipod and FM or mp3.

Hit up BC Racing and Fortune Auto to see if there would be any way they could make a custom one off set of coilovers

 

I know they've done it in the past. But still, IDK

 

Also, watch a BC Racing Employee do cool things

A couple things hit home... that stupid idle relearn every time the battery is disconnected is annoying.. so is the roll down the windows to put the top up, but then again I almost never put it down

 

I actually had a bit of buyers remorse at one point kicking myself for not getting a C5 Z06 instead

i don't have to rolldown windows to put my top up but i do it anyway. makes it easier. Just have to put a little crack in each.

 

the idle relearn must be NC specific though. Mine doesn't do that.

Do you have to sit there for 15 minutes to let it relearn?

Like he could've done much MUCH worse, but he kept it pretty tame and took another pretty small convertible and melded it to the miata body. But that wing definitely needs to go.

I don't have to roll them down completely, just enough to get the top on and then roll them back up to seal properly against the top

idk how long, I just know it idles rough for a while after the battery disconnect.
