this is how you know your engine is too damn small. if you care about 1hp, time for a real engine

sigh. it's not just the 1hp you get from going e-fan. it's that plus ditching power steering, plus ditching AC, plus the weight you lose from doing all of the above, etc... making power with old cars is an incremental process. and all of these tricks benefit the "super-powerhouse" m20 as well.

anyway, so last year when i got my car back on the road, the fucking shop i took it to replaced my lightweight westco miata battery with a standard interstate, without asking, or trying to recharge it. i was pissed, because it put 30lbs forward of the firewall back in.

motoiq put one of these in their project FR-S...



three and a half goddamn pounds. i need that in my life.

So my car decided I shouldn't drive it to class. It is inconsistently refusing to rev. One time I'll hit the gas and it will be fine, but the next time I hit the gas it ill not go above 1k rpm. I'm thinking TPS. What do you guys think?

Had this problem in the e21.

My alternator ground was broken off, check all your wires, to the alternator to the battery and all that jazz

Anyone want my IE stage 3 springs with re-valved Bilstein shocks with ~5k miles on em? I'm willing to let go for $800 with pickup from Sacramento, or reasonable offers. See sig for sale thread.\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

I remember when he bought that thing in a field for 60 bucks... Tell him I said hey.

[mbonanni]

Yeah, he got lucky. He found damn near all the suspension at pick n pull, and even got those wheels at pnp.

He told me how you drilled through an e28 or mtech spolier he sold you. Lol
