the fact of the matter is this. who cares if he missed 3rd? who cares if hes got a busted mount? y
anyways, he was driving casually. he casually made a mistake. your the only one who cares because apparently, you like to become the self appointed hmt elitist.

shut the ---- up man. JESUS.

what management?

lol so having bad motor mounts makes me a bad driver? Grasping at straws much? I really give two ***** about what you think about my driving ability. To be honest, when I took that video it was the first time i had shifted into 3rd gear at WOT since the car had been boosted. Knowing where 3rd gear was going to be would have been based on experience under those conditions of which I had none.

I've got a short list of stuff I still have to fix on the car. Figure out why my caster is out of range, fix an exhaust rattle, make a cutout, new mounts, finish tuning.

What are the rev limiters on those miata's from the looks of it the aem wont allow mods to the rev limiter

idiot-stick

Yeah no rev-limit defeat with the F/IC although there is an ECU modifying method for upping the rev-limit on the miata. Rev limit on a 1.8 is something like 7200 or there abouts. Shuts down while it's still making power.


edit: took some new pics today

Pics suck but you get the idea

Painted all of the piping, gonna paint the valve cover one day


got rid of the wheel gap

beside each of the gauges is a shift light. They almost be invisible

Looks good how do you like the aem unit? Any downfalls of it?

con

tprc is getting a shift light just like that, THanks!

hmmm, getting the o2 manipulation stuff took forever to figure out because I was trying to use common sense. I stumbled upon a good setting by cranking values to the almost absolute extreme which shouldnt have been necessary, but either way I got that tuned well. A 3D map would be better for setting the o2 correction. i.e. if im cruising and go uphill, the MAP voltage goes up, approaching boost and it runs a bit richer than it technically needs to but according to AEM they'll be adding that feature soon.

Another thing that was a bit weird was my overall fuel correction for the bigger injectors. According to my math it should have been like -41% but I had to set it to more like -26%. Never figured out why that was but it runs like a stock car with that adjustment.

Also, a color-coded background color for the map screens would be nice so if there's an out-of-place value, it'd stick out better.

Other than that, i'm very impressed. The price is pretty damn good too. If you're considering one, check the boards at www.aempower.com to make sure it's compatible with your car and also that no one with your specific car is having any problems. Some cars seem to have timing related problems with the unit, i.e. I think some scions and some late model hondas.

Its for a friend of mine for his s2000. This seems to be the ticket.
