1996 Mazda Miata with Bell Enginnering (BEGI) Turbo

Ebay Auction link

Major Preventative Service done at 75,000 miles: Timing Belt, Water Pump, Hoses, Spark Plugs, Spark Plug Wires, Seals, and Alternator Belt.


Turbo Kit installed at 77,405 miles along with the Racepak dash. Xede Engine Management professionally tuned by Church Automotive for 10 PSI of boost. There is plenty of room to raise the boost; I haven’t done so because I wanted to give everything time to “break in”. After 5000 trouble free miles I wouldn’t hesitate to do so (with a proper tune of course).

Holy ****.

Does the LC1 also pipe into that HUD?

 

It can, you'll need a $100 add-on for it.

 

God thats an awesome car. Good luck with the sale.

I want that racepak dash so badly. Looks super nice.

 

Really nice and HOLY clean car. Good luck moving this, shouldn't be a problem.

My 90 is red w/ black rims and the same hard dog bar.. great combo Except you actually got the carpeting and trim back in the car whereas I lazed out and said screw it.

 

my sister has been looking for a track car...

 

Any chance you have a write up and photos of when you installed the Racepak???

GL with the sale.

 

I'll see if I can find some pictures of the install. The biggest bitch was getting a drive shaft sensor to measure wheel speed. Miata's of the era have a rotating cable going to the stock instrument cluster which is very antiquated.

 

Very nice! Off topic - how do you like the Nardi wheel? How big of a spacer are you running, which hub adapter, and how's the clearance to the wiper/ turn signal stalks?

 

Imo the seating position with the spacer is perfect. The spacer is one inch thick and the wheel hub is the typical one you see in eBay. The wheel is very nice but when parking you are going to wish you had a 350. Amazingly the stalks didn't take any getting used to, you can still reach them from the wheel.

Thanks for the comments!
