I thought all D16 rods are the same. It would be the flat top pistons that would give him low compression, But he did mill the head and the block, so who knows. Hasn't this guy already posted this ---- once before?

Nope try more like 6.64:1 :-X. If he had got the new fjt rods it would be mid 7's. :-\


Edit: shaved .05 with a 2 lair hg its 7.26:1. A little better.

Nope it was another guy with the same looking car and set up, and he also was from Pr :S. Its funny how the two setups are so similer.

Good build mang! ;D That turbo should treat you well.. I have a 42/48 size t3 on 10lbs and I think it could use a little more up top

no joke. autocross without r comps = you better have a car built for sts

doesn't look like you did so that sucks. get you an extra set of rims and look for some of the miata guys dumping some of their tires. you can find some used ones pretty cheap to get started if you dont' want to buy them new and want to be competetive.

seet build. love the hatches

I through the top spoiler in the garbage and kept the bottom one so i can mold it to the trunk with fiberglass.

Mounted it today and made the wiring for the start button hide a starter kill switch that's a secret :P. It works veery well ;D. And all 4 gauge have light now. Still need to connect the pyrometer and the water temp gauge to there coresponding locations.
