crazy, didn't even know we had that kind of hiking so close...awsome. I know I wouldn't make it very far right now. Tennis is about all I can do right now...out of shape.

Well it is supposed to be a 6 hour hike but we took our time at the bottom because Mirna and the dogs were with us. We left them half way up to the mid point and then had lunch at Icehouse Saddle (half way). After that is where we hit the snow. Since we had to cross loose snow on an inline we took our time and then when we got to the peak switch backs it was just slow going since we went vertical instead. We all kept saying are we there yet should we just say we made it? Anyway from when we left the parking lot to when we got back it took just under 10 hours.

super miata is now tuned and running E85 fuel. I've never smelled the stuff. It has a very specific odor in the gas can, but turns interesting when burned and coming out the exhaust...no joke, the stuff smells like tequila...?
I think the super miata started out at about 120hp and 100 tq....and when I left, the last dyuno numbers were 149.6 hp and 125 tq. But what was cool was the torque curve...it was almost flat at 125 tq all the way through the power band....was similar in incline to the hp curve when the day started. Usable torque, increase in hp....should be super miata indeed.

OK so the car has been doign on since I took the main power fuse out for the stereo, so I am guessing it has to do with bad grouding. I will be on vacation next week so maybe I can look into it.
Did the super Miat race this weekend?

Loren: my guess is that your amp is drawing power. do you have it wired to an on/ off circuit somewhere?
ie; mine goes to the rear cigarette lighter since that only has power when the car key is turned to on.
if you're going straight to the battery and that's all, that might explain why your car is dead in the morning after not driving it a few days.
this could not have surfaced earlier since your battery was in better shape and was holding a charge better then it is now.
just a thought.

Super Miata will see some track time this Sunday in Fontana....been awhile since we have been at the speedway, last couple events have been down at El Toro.
This will be the first event with the new engine/tune, and incredible torque numbers. Hope we don't spin the rubber off the tires.

I did an overlay of the 99 engine dyno sheet. although its a nice gain, it shows that the 99 engine was a pretty strong one.
Here are the numbers:
picked up 20-25 foot pounds of tourque accros the board.... should feel that! ;-)

I remember it.
you didn't ask us to give it to you so I'm not going to.
tough luck pal, learn to ask questions.
