    lean under part throttle boost?

    Walbo, probably not. 12V mod might, but it's doubtful as you're still on the stock ECU without tuning aids.

    lean under part throttle boost?

    Just saying how it could work, not how it actually does work :) 3P would have to do some digging in the ECU code to tell us what it's really doing.

    lean under part throttle boost?

    Because there was negative pressure before. If the VSV was closed, it would hold the pressure.

    lean under part throttle boost?

    It's not. The VSV can block the flow. While I can't find enough info to confirm that's how it functions. The TSRM only shows how to test the system, not exactly how it operates under ECU control outside of referances in the TEWD as to what sensors are used by the ECU to determine what it...

    Clutch Problem

    It seems to be quite common for them to be assembled wrong (most mechanics don't have a damn clue)

    what is this and where does it go?

    Looks like the cap that is sometimes mounted to the back of the alternator, can't be sure though.

    lean under part throttle boost?

    VSV is controlled by the ECU based off of water temp signal, throttle position, and reading from the AFM.

    Clutch Problem

    Improper assembly :) I had a hunch it was that, but you didn't say if you heard grinding when you tried to push the pedal down or anything, so didn't want to smash your dreams it was something simple :) Definately replace all the parts with new ones, it's cheap insurance (who likes dropping...

    Upgraded rad and fan for 2j?

    Yep, e-fans that came stock on a car are fine. The issue is that even the expensive aftermarket fans *cough*flex-a-lite*cough* suck. The other issue is wiring. A lot of people use the craptastic setup that gets it's temp reading from a probe pushed into the radiator fins (like this one...

    Bring back the Kaminari 3 piece spoiler???

    I'd care about a third brake light :) I think kaminari still sells replacement third brake lights... Then again, I'm not in a position to cough up the money :rofl:

    Rear BBK anyone?

    If heat shields didn't work, they wouldn't be on your exhaust ;)

    R154 Throwout bearing/ clutch release issue *Video inside*

    Also, as this has to be said, as people seem to skip it. ANYTIME you change any components in the clutch system, you MUST readjust the clutch pedal freeplay. Too little freeplay and you're basicly riding the clutch causing slippage, glazing, and premature wear. Too much and the clutch isn't...

    (torque x RPM) / 5252 = horsepower I'll let you figure out the reason :)

    exhaust manifold

    I wouldn't piss on Duax if he was on fire... i.e. hell no I wouldn't give him any of my money.

    Rear BBK anyone?

    NP. The miata has the same issues we do with the upper ball joints being an entire assembly with the upper A-arm. Makes premature failure expensive. There is a company that makes rebuildable upper ball joints for the miata though, and some off the shelf energy suspension dust covers work well.
