Troy, Troy, Troy. Be honest for a minute. I always thought that the real reason you "inadvertantly" disabled your air intake temperature sensor earlier this year was because you missed the fuel economy that the Mustang used to get. Without the AIT sensor, wasn't the Miata getting something like 9 MPG?

As for using my car as an example of class-cost ratio analysis, please don't. I destroy (burn) receipts as soon as I receive them. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm only into my car for about $25.19. That's how much I've spent on matches over the past few years. ;)

I keep a spreadsheet for some reason, but I like your idea. Is it considered renewable and "green" if I use the receipts in my wood stove, essentially freeing up extra $$ for purchases over the winter? "I need the receipts to heat the house honey!" I'll just have to make sure she has no credit cards. :D

Well, if Jason comes up with the $$$$, he may be driving the 200SX. Cylinder head being torqued (you have to torque Nissan cylinder heads? Who would have guessed!) at this very moment.

I will be there too and will do my very best to significantly improve the results from Mosport now that the front end will be done and that turbo expresso machine in the glove compartment now fully operational. :wink:
Should be interesting to say the least.

Stephan,

Make sure you bring enough supplies to make Capuccino for everyone out of your glove box. I'll take mine with 2% milk please. I'm watching my figure. :)

Doesn't the addition of a turbo bump you into SP? :lol: I was at Limerock last week for an event and got to watch a 32 car Spec Miata race. :shock: Masochists! :wink:

Thanks Will, That was a great event. It would be fun to have another RX 7 or two. Can't wait for July to find out where Jeff and Troy are getting away from me. Its fun to have someone to chase.

I don't think it was a fluke. There are 10 ST4 cars for July 4 weekend so far.
