Hotroding at its core was always a gamble, and here I lost. Time to fix taking too much metal off the throttle body, overporting is a thing... oopsie. Also injector pod spacer install. Update 3.3 in the saga of Leeroy Jenkins.

I did some research and I’m going to be testing the new Bosch esi6 fluid to see if it improves the driving experience of this semi refreshed and now turbo Miata, I’m hoping it helps with the heat issues these cars suffer from due to the nature of how the lines run along the upper firewall.

After what seems like forever, the engine is finally installed. Got some clutch stuff from good ole eBay, “Clutch Max” stage 3 six puck clutch. And then I went and broke some of the diff mounting bolts. Meh, shift happens.

I know some cool cars than need these in their lives, so I matched their paint and I’ll be sending them out as soon as they’re done. Comment below if you know who’s cars are getting these.
Here’s how I made them, so you too can make your own or something similar for your engine. Sure makes (un)installing the j series 100x easier.
