Little car BIG dumpster fire part II
#29
Lars dropped off a sweet package on Thursday!! But after looking at all the different diagrams for Megasquirt and tuner studio I can't make heads or tails of anything. Is there any help out there for PNP Pro going into a 1.6? My biggest fear is that I don't wire something correctly and two days later, I'll be on the side of the road watching Mia burn to the ground

Okay, this build is going to have to be put on hold right now. Army has decided for the third month in a row to pay me half a paycheck, I stripped out a bolt for the driver's seat bracket and all around everything had just been giving me a huge headache.
Hopefully **** should get straight soon and I can start up again.

Haven't updated in a sec. So, I figured that since I don't have a garage I'm gonna need to take Mia to a shop. So, on December 16th I'm taking Mia to Track Minded Performance in Marietta Georgia who will do the install and tune while I'm on HBL and back in California with family. Once everything is said and done I'll then get Mia painted, because she desperately needs it.

Mia goes up to the shop this weekend to start her journey to become a turbo Miata! And oddly enough in NW Florida is decided to snow. Days before that I decided to get rid of my leaky soft top and get a hardtop. Now I no longer have to worry about water damage. I also depowered my steering rack to make more room for IC piping. Lars, you have been a HUGE help throughout this whole journey, thanks again so much!
PO thought plasti dip was a good idea. Mia just doesn't look happy. A paint job is in the future.
Hardtop came in handy. I LIVE IN FLORIDA!!!
Oh yeah, I also did a little cosmetic thing too

Okay, need advice again. This time on wheels and tires. Being my current setup are 15x7 +30mm offset and 205/50 tires, I'm curious if it would be advantageous of me to get a set of 15x9 wheels and 225/45? I should also mention that I finally depowered my steering rack, as per FM instructions. I'm also down to either getting Advanti Storm S1's or be a cool kid and get some 6ul's. Any input is much appreciated!
Edit: Should also mention this car is going to be 99% street driven

This is what I run, they hold up really good in wrecks They are 15*9 36mm offset. I believe most 9" wide wheels with require some fender rolling. To me it comes down to what you want the car to look like when it is done. I know wide wheels with sticky tires will be a pain in parking lots with a depowered rack but once you get going its no big deal.
