1/8" ABS + jigsaw + acryllic blade + drill

Alternatively, if you have $85 burning a hole in your pocket and you want a bit cleaner of a solution: http://www.florida50.com/flat-panels.htm

I actually saw this site a while back when I initially started looking at the racepaks but had totally forgotten about it. I have a spare cluster so I think I may snag one of those CF plates and retrofit it into the spare cluster. Thank you!

The racepak? Nah I don't think it has legs or feet.

My dash on the FM gauge blank for reference. Pretty cheap but they also seem to have ridiculous shipping costs.

Whoah - I thought the FM expen$ive $&H cost$ were limited to international order$ only.

If their products weren't of such high quality, I doubt any international customers would buy them because their S&H is ridiculous.

Sooo, the clutch was slipping in my Golf R so I decided to trade it in. 2010 Grand Sport, single owner, garage kept (the condition suggests this) 40k miles. Absolutely beautiful! Just figured I would share lol

This is what I keep telling myself. So far my insurance has dropped compared to the R, I get more miles per tank, and the tank only costs roughly $15 more per fill up, only seems logical to me lol

So.... Either you're never going to finish the miata, or......... You're adding 4more cylinders?

The Miata is very very close to road worthy at this point.

It's a good thing your Miata is gonna be insane, because otherwise the vette would likely spoil you and make you not care about the maita anymore.

That's basically what happened to me when I had the MSM and z06 at the same time.

I tried to explain to a buddy of mine that even after i get the headers/ xpipe/ intake and tune done on the Vette, the Miata will still be faster in a straight line. He couldn't comprehend how that was possible. lol

Love me 'Vettes!
Nice choice!

Well, not much of an update, Ive been slackin lately, but hopefully here over the next few days I will start knockin out some of the remaining tasks. However I did FINALLY, after waiting almost 4 months, get the new 90* compressor housing in the mail. Its going over to the powdercoaters today. This new housing is going to make the routing of the IC piping infinitely easier, that 90* coupler just wasnt doin the job.

At this point I really just need to finish wiring in sensors and do the brake lines. At this point the remaining wiring stuff is a bit over my head so I am relying on a good friend of mine to lend a hand/ knowledge.

I'm still concerned about running hoodless. Maybe you can cut some neat grooves for your piping to poke out of.
