Vibrating like Hustly's favorite toy
Dear sirs,
I am running into an issue that has me scratching my head. My Miata is vibrating like Hustly's favorite toy, and even at idle, I'm getting some fairly gnarly vibration.
It's impossible for me to take past, say, 4k rpm due simply to insane vibration. I've checked or am checking/will have checked the obvious stuff, so help me out with the non-obvious stuff to check out please!
I've reverted to the stock flywheel (resurfaced) w/the FM clutch kit now, and am not sure where to start beyond that.

Fuuu, good idea Hustly. The clearance on the exhaust is iffy, I'll check that out - although I have brand new mazdaspeed engine mounts in there :(.
Brand new mounts, I'll check the PPF stuff.

My exhaust is so hacked up at this point that it may be time just to bite the bullet and buy a Garrett turbo plus an Abe downpipe+exhaust.

to fix your fuel problem, pull your injector and hit it with a hammer.

Jeebus cripes, ~100 ftlbs still seems like an awful lot as per that site, but I'll make sure they are all torqued down nicely when I get a chance to get back under it. Wow, that's some serious torque on those bolts.
Also, not a fuel injector problem after all. Injectors are in perfect shape, it was a problem with my injector wiring goddamnit so much. I've never had problems in my wiring before.
