OK, just got back from an autoX. Here are pics of my car, and a couple of my fiance's Miata (yea, she races too. It's as good of a reason as any to marry her, right? )

Her car...

Her racing...

Chalk boxes are harder to run than cars, I think...

215,500 Miles on the suspension. Does anybody want some body roll?

Ain't she purty?

Grrrr!

Ooohhhh, shiny paint...

Those hood pins aren't for looks..

Badunkadunk! (Or however you spell that. I'm from Kansas)...

Yes, that's an intercooler...

There she is..

SSAC mani..

Very tight intercooler piping and hood pin..

Hall Sensor and mount..

SR T25. Too small. Need T28..

The inside info...

The little bitty baby intercooler...

Wiring mess...

Not too bad for hacking it up with a dremel...

Oil cooler...

Lawnmower battery for you doubters out there...

I love that steering wheel...

Perfect place for coil packs!

Innovate motor sports LC-1. I love that thing!

That's it guys and gals. Waddya think?

Me likey< Ryan ! Oh and BTW, I am a firm believer of the Lawn Mower battery because I have the same exact one in my boosted elantra. Bought the thing for $12 at a junkyard and it's doing just fine under the hood. Even past tech at the NOPI event last Sunday and even got 1 run and ran a 15.5@86mph with a stock N/A fuel pump that will only fuel the car through 10psi of boost. Once again, great job and marry your fiance as well. She's worth it..............

I've still got work to do under the hood, as I don't like all of that loose wiring, but I didn't want to start wraping everything up till I knew I had all the bugs worked out. I'm doing to drive it daily for the next 2 weeks and if I don't run into any problems (it ran fine today, and I haven't had any major problems for a couple of weeks.) then I'll finish it all up and get it to the dyno.

I had to read that 3 times to figure it out.

Isn't that a sexxy shift knob? This chump practically gave it to me! LOL, thanks again man, it made the meet SOOOO much easier!

I just might! I didn't know about it. I'll have to talk to my fiance. She'll probabally beat us. She's pretty fast for her class. She beat me, but that miata's got a pretty good suspension on it.

Yup SSAC mani. It seems pretty solid so far. It's got at least 500 miles on it so far.

Not hard at all, I had it done for me!!! JK, it wasn't too bad. I think all in all I paid about $60 for it. You'll loose the A/C though, so be prepared for that.
