All 4 new tires on so stoked. Huge difference car drives so smooth on these tires. Love taking corners in this car haha!

 

[Dsmkauai]

Alittle rain fun at today's autox. Was our 4th event we have had so far on Kauai. Was great time and the new hankooks really performed well. Like a whole new car now with how it handles. gotta tune more boost in. Then it might be time to put the fp 68hta on mahahaha and have even more fun . Or just have a monster car that's even harder to handle . I love my gvr4 such a sick car to drive. The evo8/ swift combo I have really works with the car. But i think it's time for a set of Feal coilovers to step in and a few whiteline products to accompany some bushings and swaybars for sure

Awesome GVR4! Did you make that j pipe or is that from another kit?

 

[Dsmkauai]

Hey thanks bro app that! the one aluminum j-pipe started out from a vrsf kit. Then I cut and welded it to work for my needs. The ss one I found on here. Then also cut/modded to fit my needs. I havnt switched to the ss yet but will soon.

This car has come a long way from when you first started wrenching on it. Good work.

Finally paying off the hard work .

 

[Dsmkauai]

Thanks guys app it really stoked i found this car the way it was. Still have so much more I want to do. But it's come a long ways and I love it!

 

[Dsmkauai]

Me and sleepy last weekend autoxing had a blast and was the best course I designed so far! My fastest was 43.15 and the ftd was 42.28 (corvette), he might of dipped into 41's during fun runs. Man I just about had the 42 so close. Car is so fun on the hankooks the extra meat really made a diff. Need some of that vp mix so I can up the boost more.

Stupid Honda half radiator sprung a leak. So I had to throw in the stocker for now. Till I can properly fit my new mishimoto radiator in. I really love my new jpipe setup. Fits perfect and I have way more room. There's enough room for 2 slim fans. I set it up with one right now and it's perfect. Not overheating one bit and it's frickin hot right now out here! Also it's not siting on the exhaust mani now, that's a huge plus. . I'm glad I had all these spare parts .

Sleepy G got a break from Autox today . Got to run my new toy I just picked up . 91 Miata which just happens to be a special edition like the gvr4 . This one is car #1537 and sleepy is #1633. Really stoked I found this thing has 100k miles and really clean for a 91. Got some plans for this baby cough cough turbo .

 

[Dsmkauai]

Well didn't realize the front camber was so off on the gvr4. The evo8 setup threw me off and just can't get enough adjustment. That and pushing it on the Autox course for 6 events with the 245's just destroyed my hankooks . Well and all our super fun back roads on this island haha. I decided to get 2 new bfg sport comp2's and also some camber plates, and whiteline caster bushings. I love these bfg's, way more meat than the hankooks and had way better ratings and cheaper. Oh how I love Amazon haha once the other 2 hankooks are dead I'll grab 2 more bfg's for a full set. I have some time since we have a break from Autox till December. Other than that the gvr4 has been running amazing.

The bfg's on sleepy . Next will be some hankook rs3's for autocross days .

 

[lasershark]

What makes the Miata special? Different specs compared to the other normal models?

 

[Dsmkauai]

Mostly cosmetic like tan leather seats and interior and wooden nardi shift knob and ebrake handle. The most important to me is the LSD rear diff. Other than that not much it, did come with a cool special edition car tag like my gvr4.

 

[lasershark]

Gotchya just curious, on a different note.
I noticed in one of your pics you are running what looks to be a standard dsm J-pipe. Is your front mount routed like a 1g dsm? Since there is not really a GVR4 specific option, just curious.

 

[Dsmkauai]

In a way it is like 1g. I was really sick of the gvr4 routing how it goes up and over and sits right on the exh mani. So I found that jpipe and modded it for my needs. My fmic is on the shelf right behind my radiator where the a/c condenser should be. I didn't want the flashy in the bumper look (cough cough sleeper). Plus it flows so much better and I have zero over heating issues this way. It also lets the radiator fan cool the fmic a lot more this way. I cut back the sides so my piping goes thru on the sides of the radiator instead of down and around. Shortest route possible . I'm using a vibrant core that used to be on my friends 1g DSM and also on my 2g gst . I love it and am so glad it worked out the way it did. My next mod is adding my mishimoto 1g radiator. Will be moving the bottom mounts over about a inch and centering the top ones also. For now I just threw the stocker back in cuz the Honda half I had just wasn't cuting it. It's been super hot here and we always have traffic and it was killing me letting the temps go up so high. Now with the stocker not one issue and I only have one fan . Once I get the Mishimoto in I'll have 2 fans wired in for the most cooking I can get.

Awoke the lil beast today! Finally on the road again. I had to fix a bad water pump do new timing belt and pulleys. Also Rockauto closeout on dyco and continental belts. I also added a mishimoto aluminum radiator and re-ran the power steering lines to work with my setup better. Still need to make some custom top mounts but it's held in really well and doesn't move. I'll fab up some aluminum or something, make it look right Hmm what else I installed a Holley hydramat on my fp 255 and also finished my fuel pump rewire. And remade 2 ic pipes to help things fit. Running great so far fired right up. Time for some tuning! I will definitely be driving it tomorrow ha! oh and guess what I found e85 on island at the pump! Oh ya things just got interesting

 

[keltalon]
