Like, of Barbie Girl fame, Aqua?

I believe so. Prozac was here last year. It's like Edmonton is stuck in the 90s.

Prozac is awesome. I still remember seeing a Prozac concert in person at Cowboys (on 8th), in 2002. Won tickets from the Pepsi taste challenge.

Haha, it all makes so much sense, I was there a few weeks ago for NOFX, Bad Religion, and Less than Jake.

Yes the Aqua from the 90s and Barbie Girl

Still dialing in the tune but she more or less makes what I expect at 9psi on a 170k km motor. For reference a stock vvt 1.8 Miata makes around 105whp.

Here are some of my favorites from ASA Lapping #3 that happened this past weekend.

I have a few more things I want to tackle before the season ends. One of them is to put on my stainless steel brake lines I have collected, replace the supercharger pulley (new one is coming), install my miataroadster short shifter and finally do a boost leak test on everything.

I might get a chance to install the oil cooler but I might plan that around plumbing in the front brake ducts and front splitter.

Installed the new shifter and new supercharger pulley with belt and the car is running fantastic. The Miataroadster shifter is nothing short of fantastic. The shift throws are shorter compared to the factory shifter and a lot more crisp and direct. It makes a solid clunk sound going into gear that is so satisfying. It reminds me of an S2000 shifter now (not overly surprising though as the 6 speeds on the NB are Aisin based which is the same base design as the S2000). Definitely one of my favorite mods thus far.

The car has been exceptional now that everything is finally running really good. I put 400kms on the car a few weeks ago and the car did not skip a beat. This weekend I plan to road trip the car to Calgary for more adventures.

Shifts are a bit shorter?

I am jealous of the crispy shifts.

I attended ASA Lapping #4 this past Sunday and everything went really well. Most of the minor bugs are worked out on the car and things seem to be running well. I am hoping to hit up a Track Junkies event before the end of the season.

Camera is still a bit shakey so I need to work on that but I did manage to get my external GPS sorted this time around. I also have my GoPro Footage that I should sort through as well.

SlowLGT · « **Reply #239 on:** September 03, 2019, 10:19:28 am »

It was a consensus among everyone I talked to on Sunday that 1. that NB was very well built; 2. that supercharger noise sounded great; 3. the chassis looked very well balanced.

10secdream · « **Reply #240 on:** September 03, 2019, 10:55:41 am »

I agree with the above statements. I wish I had more video from outside the car.

One of my favorite photos to date.

Damn, I never noticed how large the end plates are on the spoiler lol.
Car is looking great and those are some awesome shots! I really love the second one.

This past weekend I finally got the opportunity to head out on the full track with a bunch of friends and it was absolutely fantastic. It took me awhile to get all the small bugs and tuning sorted to the point where I felt confident it wouldn't break. I am happy to report that after 50+ laps the car ran flawlessly with no issues to report. I took it pretty easy and managed to get a few 1.35s in. The car definitely is capable of a lot more just needs a better driver. I had a blast and might even try and sneak another full track day in before the end of the season.

Another take away from the weekend is James is fast in anything he sits in.
