Our shops are equally messy, wahoo! I'm not alone  . I don't have anything as neat as that pulsejet though.

Since I know basically nothing about building Miata's, I'm hoping you have some low-buck recommendations. We were given a close-to-free 1989 Miata. The goal is to build a very basic auto-x/HPDE car for friends who aren't experienced drivers. This is not being built for any class/competition, just for fun. We have no/low budget. Here's what I'm planning: 1) All fluids/filters 2) LSD (have one spare) 3) 15" Wheels/Tires (got a good deal from a friend) 4) 2001 calipers/rotors/master cyl 5) Bilstein struts/unknown springs (thanks UpGarage!) 6) Roll bar and hard top 7) Seat drop- several of us are 6'3" + 8) Remove everything unnecessary. We might even make it a trailer-only ride, but we'll see. And when we kill the 1.6, I have a nice S5 core and Rx-8 trans sitting around.

Changing topics: Have you read up about the Monsterbox 4 rotor drama? PPRE apparently mis-machined the eshaft and threw the lobes several degrees off. Tossed the rotors into the housings and plates. Let me see if I can find the thread.

Take a read of the last few photos. It's an excellent example of why I stay out of the "main stream". Too many bad shops, too much drama and BS. https://www.rx7club.com/build-threads-292/monsterbox-4-rotor-1095628/page59/

What's your plan for sealing the P-Port inserts? Years ago I started on a design with my machinist buddy, but it's going to take $$$$ in tooling and fixtures. I've never liked the devcon/RTV option- as they always seem to leak after x number of cycles. I originally drew up a fine-threaded insert with orings and using a sealed blocking plate in the coolant passage on each side. Turns out this is pretty common. Chip Motorsports has made a nice o-ring'd side insert that requires additional machining of the housings. Several others have made nice threaded inserts and Rob's working on a set right now with another machinist we know. I kinda want to just make a 13b P-Port using our lathe and devcon'd inserts just to see how long it takes before it cracks. Maybe in a Miata.... hummmmm. Side note: Stock up on ANYTHING FD related you might need for engine builds now. Mazda is dropping a ton of stock and we're placing a order to hoard known consumables.

You should! Better yet, go racing for a weekend. I'm sure between you and your dad there's a car ready now. I need motivation to work on our 99 Miata. It needs a solid weekend of work to fix the crash damage and a front bumper. A hard top would be awesome, but $$$$.

So what’s the likelihood we could whip up a set for a three and four rotor... asking for a friend.
