    only question I got, is where the hell are you picking these things up for so cheap. I want to get an LX 5spd to go along with my 94. Let me know if you know of any cheap ones around here.

          I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.

                    Ya it should be a **** load faster than mine. We are shooting for 300 whp. And there isn't any frame damage or anyother type of damage to the car. The only reasoning I can think is just that fender was damaned. Even the bumper is in perfect condition.

                      Why are you dropping the compresion so low? You should be able to get by with 9.5:1 easily. 8.5:1 is going to be a dog out of boost.

                        that is the stock compression ratio in the GTX motor

                              In about 2 weeks Im getting the GTR rods, weisco pistons, and gaskets so the motor can go to machine. It will be bored to 20 over. The reason for the lower compression pistons, even though fliing miata sells 9:1 turbo pistons, is Im trying to make this car a reliable as a turboed car can be. And Im going to be running a t3 or t4 hybrid. Ill take some pics befor the motor comes apart. And befor it goes back together.
