The Turboyata goes tracking!

[R2s99zoom]

Going through the tunnels here...so much fun...you should see the faces of people..haha..they are like...WTF is that sound coming from!!!?

lol... part of your night run vid went thru a small tunnel, and it reminded me of the airport tunnel here in vegas... I LOVE the way my mx-5 sounds when I drive thru it at full throttle... your car would just sound BEAUTIFUL... if unbearably loud thru it

I love how your car retains its MX-5 sound... even tho its way louder and meaner

Thank you! People cower in fear when I go by at WOT. The problem with that particular tunnel, is that they have those really small speed bumps (speed limiters) and they are a real PITA (don't want to lose traction if I fly down the decline). In the vid you can see I have to let off and go back to WOT once the car stops bouncing up & down.
There are some better tunnels a short drive North of me (no speed limiters there since it's a highway). I met some guys that run turbo Opels here & we will be doing a photoshoot/night run through the nice long ones here pretty soon. the traffic is so thin there, that late at night we can set up a tripod & have some good runs through there. I can only imagine just how loud it's gonna be!

One thing I noticed h/e, there's a nasty buzzing sound coming from right behind the passenger seat...it's a piece of thin sheet metal vibrating to the right of the gas tank. The screw is missing, I have to find one to fit. But, on the other hand, it's no longer needed since the roll bar is there. I may just cut it out & call it a day!

Well...the Turboyata is really starting to kick things off right here in beautiful Turkey. Of course...just like ANYWHERE in the world..the playa hataz (fuzz/pigs/po-po etc.) tend to strike hard.
Well....let's rack 'em up shall we?
"Parking in front of my OWN apartment building" Parking ticket $62YTL
"Exhaust too loud" ticket $162YTL
"Speeding double the posted limit on a COUNTRY BACK ROAD (awesome mountain road FWIW)" speeding ticket $222YTL (busted by remote radar & cameras, dispatch radio'd ahead & I got pulled over to a grinning officer of the law) *A BIG f**k you to technology!!!*
I will scan my Turk Tickets tomorrow (ugh)

Now...unto some good news....

Brake upgrades complete.
Better news...since I'm pretty much the only person here with a modified MX-Cinco...I have been invited to have the turboyata replicated into a more child-friendly toy. The deal is, this company is going to make child-sized replicas of the turboyata & in exchange make ALL body repairs to Ms. Yata AND paint to my liking (engine bay, valve cover, exterior, interior, trunk). Well...can you say SPICY Yata? I can. Stay tuned for more info (this is scheduled to go down after the next time trial on May 19th). 7-10 days in their hands & I should have a magazine worthy car...finally.
w00t!

Of course, there's no chance you may be at fault for those tickets...

Spicy would be nice. I'm also a fan of the Laser Blue. Have you considered camo?

omg I want a child-sized turboyata replica! It's like "my size barbie" but for boys... boys that want a cute little convertible

 

[Foolish]

Dude, if you're getting a repaint, get a Racing Beat Type 2 nose on there first. It's the only body mod I'd do on a Miata

so subtle, so aggressive! If you are replacing the front bumper, it's imperative that you get it.

It's fiberglass though

If you say Erebuni, I will wait 'til you return to Atlanta, then beat you until your face also looks like a catfish.
