    Talking what's up, what's up!!!

    Hey guys!! Thank you Gary and the rest of you who helped me last weekend fix what those other guys who 'origninally' did the installation to my poor, poor Miata. I'm sorry that I don't remember everyone's name. It was a very stressful day if you guys can remember. Good news though is I was able to get my Powercard back from those other guys and exchanged those stupid Greddy and MSD computers back in for $800.
    All of you guys were cool as heck with me, and I really wish I could remember all of your names. I remember "you", owner of these forums here, holding that stupid pulley of mine while I loosened it; and I still laugh when we asked you if you wanted to hold it and you were all "not really", lol! But you did, and thanks.
    And "you", with the bronze (I think) mazdaspeed getting, it was nice meeting you too.
    And "you", who was wearing the JR racing shirt, you were funny as heck all day. Believe it or not, but your jokes really kept me from going crazy that day.
    But anyways, to all of you, thank you so much. If any of you are gonna be around Gary's house Monday, I will see you again then. And thank you Gary for all you have done, are doing, and have taught me the "proper" ways to do things.
    For everyone else that I have not had the opportunity to meet yet, my name is Johnny and I've had my Miata for 2 years, but only got the forced induction and the rest 3 months ago.

    Hello to you all, and take care!!!

    Johnny

    Welcome aboard. The funny guy in the JR shirt only lurks here... We'll shame him in to posting eventually.

    Talking my cars current stats

    my cars stats....

    Silver '99 Miata, 2000 Miata engine swap, new clutch, Jackson Racing supercharger and headers, Roadster sport high flow cat and exhaust, Koyo radiator, Precision Intercooler, 17" black Enkei's, low profile Kumo racing street tires, Brembo slotted rotors and sports brake package, carbon fiber hood, HID headlights, Viper Alarm w/ keyless entry, Alpine headunit, amp, and component speakers. (oh yeah, and I have an unpainted/uninstalled wing in my closet, lol)

    My only problem is I got this stuff installed at a second rate auto shop. I'm dealing with the issues that came from going with them slowly but surely. If I had even known about what Gary can do I would have NEVER gone to the place I did (*cough cough, name concealed, cough cough*).

    Take care,
    Johnny

    Dear lord, I hope it was Tom McGrath. Because the last thing the Miata world needs is ANOTHER pseudomechanic butchering these otherwise reliable roadsters.

    Oh, and welcome aboard!

    Heh. This was done by someone other than McGrath... It was a shop in Carrollton, I think, that normally doesn't work on Miatas (and hopefully won't try again).

    Fellas, I have to say, I'm sick and tired of all the McGrath bashing going on here lately and I think it...
