Seeing all the mods you have for yourself, if your engine isnt in the best of condition I would spend it on a nice rebuild. And this standalone

If you're spending that much, might as well get something top of the line.
Microtech LTX-8 $895 (complete stand alone EMS - fuel and timing)
This is the exact system I used on my 647 rwhp FC3S.

So his engine he goosed
With much too much boost,
And drove a rod through his block.

**** amy, think about yourself.. liposuction.. boob job.. laser teeth whitening.. err..
well, honestly, i think you'd reap the best benefit from getting a rebuild on your engine.. though at only 1000 bucks, you'd probably be just getting the parts you needed for it :p: nor could you pay a shop that little and expect that much out of it.. ie cam regrinds and a port and polish.. even that can easily set you over 1k. figure on this, spend $100 on a nice dinner and a gift for amy, $200 bucks for something small for vicky (yes, the car does mean more to us :p: ), put $500 in a Certified Deposit fund where you can earn 6 to 9 percent, or in a mutual fund for 10 to 15% interest, then spend the other $100 on a new outfit for yourself . trust me, it's better to save than to spend..
peace
p.s. almost forgot my math there, do yourself a favor and spend the additional hundred on debtsLast edited by Guest; 04-04-2004, 08:06 AM.

Buy a big bag of weed, sell it buy a bigger bag, sell that and then use the proceeds. If you've got the right hookups, you can make a ****load in a very short time and stop dealing. keep the money.Ryan The middle child is always ignored

its money that is being specifically given to me by my father for use on the car. the only debt i have atm is to shoot you 50 for the seat brock. he is painting it as well if all goes as planned. i was thinking tear the engine down, miata pistons/rings, new head gasket, find a shop that will p and p and do a valve job and replace all misc seals and gaskets. this isnt what serious performance mods should i get, this is what major maitenance can i do that will also maybe add performancesponsored by www.protegegarage.com
