Btw, if you aren't staying stock, you are ALWAYS going to run into problems. That's what I have learned. No matter how much you tune or money you spend, something will always pop up. That's the way this game works. It's one big money pit, do realize that.
PS: Not that it matters or anything, but you going full-out FM annoys the hell out of me.
Iggy said:Why does them going all FM annoy you?
Some of their products are just rebadged items from major manufacturers. Anyone know who makes their springs?Pitlab77 said:There stuff is not the end all be all that people make it out to be.
Not only that, but they don't feel the need to really want to help us 1.6l owners.Pitlab77 said:There stuff is not the end all be all that people make it out to be.
there's nothing wrong with FM, but there are better stuff out there.Newports said:Im sorry if it annoyed you k-lea, but I came here for help, maybe tell me why it bothers you. I heard that FM products are pretty good, reason being because they have been supposedly making products for Miatas ever since they have been out. Just what I heard, so whats the problem with FM products?

that's why I have to build my own intake manifold.. Speaking of which, I got some free time coming up soon. Time to fire up the compressor and die grinder.k-lea said:Or anyone for that matter.

k-lea said:Lucky! There was a recent horror story with a Miata owner I know. Basically, FM messed up on building his motor and his head is fubared. $15k in a motor and boom, done.
There is the crux, they dont make most of their products. Their previous turbo kits were as a result of a partnership with BEGI, now they have gone thier own ways. As well as alot of other stuff that FM just servers as a middle man.Newports said:Im sorry if it annoyed you k-lea, but I came here for help, maybe tell me why it bothers you.

That there is BUT I was pointing out that FM is not perfect. A lot of Miata owners put them on a pedestal.Iggy said:to be fair, im sure there are horro stories of every company that is in the aftermarket industry. You cant go by one person, you should look at their track record as a whole. Not that im accusing you of that, im sure you've looked into it alot since you seem to know your stuff. Just playing devils advocate
