Airdam/undertray, just use ABS plastic, it is pretty cheap and lightweight and looks oem'ish. Here is some good info on where to buy it. http://www.miataturbo.net/forum/showthread.php?t=18862 ps-I'll be in Charleston pretty soon again (i love it) so I'll have to hit you up for those bands names again, didn't get to see them last time :(

It is a WV/Audi OEM sensor. I really need to change it but I am changing out headers soon and I am waiting on that. No reason (for me) to get under the car twice when I can just put it off for weeks at a time. It has been a while since I adjusted the Konis. Can I feel when the adjustment knob is at full hard/soft? Does it stop turning at some point?

What WB02 do you have, there have been some issues with both LC1 and AEM going out prematurely. Make sure to do some proper nose ducting with maybe some ABS if you are going to block some airflow, this way you will optimize the airflow and maybe not lose any efficiency while achieving less drag. Good luck, i really hope you get there.

No pinging or other problems to report. I'm not exactly sure what the next step is but there are a few things on my list. The 50 PSI tires are a little rough so I'll be putting my Konis on full soft in a few days. It is oil change time and I'll go with a lighter weight oil this time. I might start investigating a partial "mouth" block for aero as well as a warmer thermostat and a change in when the fans kick on. Q: Any way to clean a WBO2 sensor? The sensor is pretty newish (not many miles on it) but it just won't work. I'm guessing I killed it by running too rich. Q: When adjusting yellow Konis to soft, can you screw the adjustment knob too far (clockwise or counter-clockwise?). I remember something about damaging the shocks when turning it too far one way or another but I cannot remember for sure. -- Robert McElwee and Blue Flash "The 40 MPG Miata" www.lightweightmiata.com/mpg Lightweight Miata Forum: www.lightweightmiata.com/forum The Miata Trailer Project: www.lightweightmiata.com/trailer _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower -- Robert McElwee and Blue Flash "The 40 MPG Miata" www.lightweightmiata.com/mpg Lightweight Miata Forum: www.lightweightmiata.com/forum The Miata Trailer Project: www.lightweightmiata.com/trailer
