LOL, I know you were blowing smoke!!!k-lea said:It's doable but not very comfortable. *IF* it gets there, it will obviously not be my daily ( I'm going to be buying a beater anyways so either way it won't be ). I came into this car wanting a small package yet loads of power. It'll be a process due to me having to learn the car with the power. I won't be like "BAM I HAVE 400RWHP!@#" it'll be a progression. From there, I will see if I want to go all the way to 400rwhp.
Honestly, I doubt I'll allow myself to get to 400. I want to live.

I read your first post and thought, 400whp yea right. Now I read this and I was right. You should have went with the GTO.
Shoot me a PM about the wideband if you decide to ditch it.k-lea said:If you know anyone looking for a Defi BF Imperial or a AEM Wideband, lemme know!

No, I shouldn't have. Ever since the start of the whole GTO thing I've been hella stressed/pissy. When all was said and done the GTO was not something I wanted to get into. I told EVERYONE that the longer the MSM sits outside, the more I hate myself for letting it go. It all caught up to me when the paper work was being faxed back and forth (GTO was in Missouri). I got a pleasant call saying I was approved but the numbers were a bit shaky. It was something I could do but I didn't want to. I called back, told him I couldn't do it and I swear to you, I had the BIGGEST s***-eating grin on my face ever.
Soon after a phone call was made to Dana and the show began. I think I was tinkering with the idea to Dana a couple of days before and that's what really made me think hard about it. Even though it was "useless play" in all reality, it was something I really wanted to do.
This whole process has allowed me to save up a decent amount of cash and has taught me a lot of patience. My parents didn't agree with the whole GTO idea but they let me do what I want because it's what "makes me happy." I didn't even tell my parents I was keeping the MSM until a day after I had made the phone call. When I told them, they were glowing. "Our baby is all grown-up" kind of crap came out their mouth.
I'm happy under the hood of the Miata, that's where I belong.

Thanks for the support, guys!
They support me fully. They *LOVE* the Miata and really wanted me to keep it in the first place. My mom and dad left yesterday and came home to me under the hood of the car and she came up to hug me "I'm proud of you." Such a sap but they love seeing me work on the car. My dad always asks me "What are we getting this week?" They love to watch the car grow almost as much as I do.zumzumzoom03 said:Talking about support...how is it coming from the rents?
