Both of these places can build anything. Clutchnet is very close to Duarte. http://clutchnet.com/home.php http://www.clutchspecialties.com/

There is quite a bit of info in a few threads over on Miata.net if you search under my username. As for engine weight, i believe there is a pic in my gallery of the engine being weighed: http://picasaweb.google.com/alaivins/Miata/photo#4978380341029240850 I believe it was missing the...

Disregard! thread can be deleted. andris

This isn't a big deal. Slide your collector off and grind off the welds at the head flange. Remove the 4 runners and weld all the tubes' joints individually and then reassemble before welding to the head flange. I am assuming your collector is completed already. andris

Those turbos are poor quality knockoffs of garrett turbos with zero engineering behind them. Beware! I have seen pictures of a compressor housing that split in half! Imagine what would happen if that POS cast wheel explodes. I'll bet they don't meet wheel containment standards like any real...

Great, thank you for taking those measurements for me. I am planning a swap into a miata and surprisingly the shifter is farther back than you would expect for such a small car. The stock transmission locates the shifter about 800mm from the front of the bellhousing, and from what I can gather...

Hey, I have been trying to get accurate dimensions for the various transmissions mated to the 1uz. Could you do me a favor and measure from the front edge of the bellhousing where it mates to the engine to the center of the shifter? It would be a big help to me! Also, what is the length of...
