Alright, I'll let you guys take a look at it at the meet on the 13th. As far as the alarm, I got it disabled a couple days ago.  |

The alarm could have had a remote start that was acting up.

Alrighty, bumping the thread because I believe I've isolated the issue today at a Miata Techday meet (which funny enough my engine died again on the way to. All of a sudden, "Oh **** my power steering just went out. Wait, no my engine died.") We think it's my fuel pressure regulator that's causing it. Here's a pic to show the Jackson Racing model.
With the low boost I'm running, I really don't think it's worth it to invest a bunch of money in a MegaSquirt and tune it. I think I'm just going to get another Jackson Racing one for around $100 off a guy that has an extra. Hopefully that'll solve my issue. How easy is it to remove and install a new one? |

Exactly why do you think it's the fuel pressure regulator?

It seems it's not compensating adequately for the blower. I'm not 100% sure it's the culprit, which is why I'm going to take it to a miata mechanic first, but it seems to be likely at this point with the surging, crappy idle, and it running rich/lean. |

Still haven't had time to get the fuel pressure issue checked out, but I am seriously tired of my god awful "baller" 17" wheels. I'll possibly be selling my bike since I don't ride enough to pick up these:
http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda...t/21-1013.html
Very similar to Enkei RPF-1's but weighing 13lbs at $125 each.
http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda...60-0157WO.html
Or possibly with Kuhmo's mounted on them, but the price seems a bit high since TireRack charges $90 per for the same tire. Anyone have experience mounting their own tires?
Also, considering I currently have 17's I'm hoping I don't have to roll my fenders. I can't tell if they've already been rolled or not. |

I wouldn't think to mount my own tires. It's like $10/each almost anywhere. Probably less if you look around. They have the automated machines for this and will bang it out in minutes. If you try to do it manually, it's going to be a fight and you might ding up your rims in the process. JMO.
Oh, hit up Leedom. He knows a place in South OC that has consistently low out the door prices for wheels and tires.

Alrighty, I'll hit em up after I get the money. Dunno if they'll have the Konig's as they seem to be pretty new and not too prevalent. But I'll definitely talk to them about the Kuhmo's and getting them mounted. |
