Ohio Roll Call

I haven't heard anything positive about IPS. I have a Speed3 myself and think that platform shouldn't be messed with too much as far as extracting more power. Seems like it's on the edge, and in my opinion has quite enough from the factory. Lots of cats blow those things up, and I think it's just one of those things where you can mod for some reliability and maybe a better flowing intake but that's it. Tighten up the suspension and shifter and be done with it.
Corey sure seems like an OK dude in my communications with him. He was willing to tune my MS when I had it. Said he preferred the AEM but would take his time with MS and would be able to get it. Anyway, I'm funny about letting anybody work on my car at all. I'm just out of my depth on the tuning front, and the AEM software isn't as nice and straightforward as TunerStudio, so I'd like a "pro" with a dyno to do it. I'm still considering SloMo but I'm thinking about talking to Pure Tuning as well.

I'm no genius, but I do know a bit about the platform, tsb's, reliability, modding, etc
btw erich on msf just busted 640whp on the platform...

Oh yeah I wasn't saying he was on stock internals - He's got head work, cams, rods, and pistons
There is a guy (kmac) that's over 500 on stock internals - I'm sure he's on the way to death tho..
The gen1 cars have serious pcv issues with the motor and the turbo - if you don't figure out what's going on really early in the process of this kind of issue you are doomed for issues with that car...
But anyway -
Miata meetup? I need advice on megasquirt parts I have...looking forward to seeing someone in person..

Mine's been rock solid for about a year now - means it's time for an upgrade I suppose... Considering moving my FMII to "R" status as a gift to myself for getting a promotion. It's sooo freaking awesome once your car starts and runs, and then you get all of the kinks sorted out - then eventually you start to trust your car, so you aren't always freaking out, looking at gauges and "what the hell was that sound?"...

I FINALLY got the nerve to pull the pan off this motor...Looks like i was right to be worried
Thrust bearing floating around in there...
Looks normal so far...

Heres the other half and the hole it was punched through...
Here is a short video of the crank endplay present with no thrust bearing...
