Hey all. Welcome to Sticky's Ride. A black 2003 Mazda Miata.
^^^Me enjoying the twisties in Tuson^^^
^^^The Joys of a Convertible: Road and Sky^^^
Hooray for spraypaint!!!
I can pretend my stock wheels are $400 bronze Volk wheels:
Headlight Bezels from Mazda: $120
Taillight Bezels from Mazda: $120
1 can of black spray paint: $5
(That's 235 dollars I can spend on beer!)
My first mod: a Hard Dog Hardcore Double Diagonal Roll Bar. Safety first. (Representin TU!! WOO WOO!)
AEM short ram intake has arrived:
1 stock engine
plus
equals
AEM claims a 5.1 hp gain and a 6.1 lb-ft gain over stock. I am not exactly sure about that. The sound hasn't changed much during easy driving, but there is a significant difference at higher RPMs and WOT. Great throaty growl. Very easy to install. I would recommend this product to anyone.
Enthuza exhaust has arrived:
Just out of the box:
Installed on the car: (check out those sexy feet in the upper right corner)
Thank you Jason from Enthuza Car for my M2 Speeder Exhaust.
The M2 Speeder Exhaust
Enthuza claims a 5.8 hp gain and a 5.9 lb-ft gain over stock.
Few tips if you are installing a cat-back exhaust for the first time:
1. Make sure you have the right tools
2. Make sure you lube the bolts at least 12 hours before hand.
Once I accomplished 1 & 2, installation was a piece o' cake.
After breaking it in, it is not much louder than stock. It is much more bassy from 0 to around 3500 rpm. After 3500 rpm, it roars. Althought it is not much louder than stock, it is a night and day difference in note from the stock intake and exhaust. No more naisly whine for power when I step on the gas. I am loving the combination.

Project drift begins...
Hopefully one day my Miata will drift like Rob's car :
3/28/06: Kaaz 1.5 Limited Slip Differential arrived
^^^The LSD in the box and out (with a remote for size comparison)(couldn't take it out of the bag, it was dripping oil)^^^
Thanks Speed Freaks (San Antonio, TX) for the install. This type of install requires a professional.
More pics coming soon...
