Information for the Do It Yourself Miata Owner
Matt set out to upgrade the suspension on his supercharged Miata to make it more competitive in the SSM autocross class. We started by moving the Xida shocks from my car to his car. Then he ordered a Delrin bushing kit from SADfab. This is how we went about installing the bushing kit. The first […]
I finally got the AEM F/IC6 installed in March 2015 and ready to run. Now all that is left is to tune it. I called AEM support to get the unit working. They flashed the unit and helped me to be sure it was working. I tested the unit by loading a zeroed out calibration […]

I bought a Jackson Racing M45 supercharger from my friend Roger when he upgraded to a turbocharger. He had run the supercharger for about 50,000 miles without issue. I hope I can get as many trouble free miles as he did. I did a few upgrades prior to installing the supercharger. I replaced the brakes […]
