    Looking good man! Did you do the port & polish yourself? Also, will your engine stay non-interference with those miata pistons? Are you going to be running the stock ECU? Sorry lots of questions lol

      I did not do the porting myself, did not want to try it myself with the head I knew was going to put on; maybe with a spare.

      Yes, the engine will remain non-interference since I did not have the head or blocked decked and the pistons have recesses like the stock pistons.

              Maybe boost, but I was happy with the engine in stock form with just suspension stuff driving around the mountains, so maybe not. Money and time with be the deciding factors in the end.

                  Bump for motivation
                  I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

                    Haha, I haven't been able to do much since school started for me again. Hopefully on the next full, free weekend I have, I can work on it.

                                I opened up the trans, I'll post some pics of the internals and diff swap after finals though.

                                Just had time to open it up a bit and snap a pic.
