What's wrong with high compression and boost? It just requires very carefully designed combustion chambers. Magnus Motorsports in Canada have built a 4g63 with 15:1 compression running high-ish levels of boost. Granted, it was running race gas, but a Miata wouldn't need to be running much over 8 or 9 psi.

At GRR, anything and everything United is contracted out. I work exclusively United flights, even though Envoy pays my paychecks. I can tell you…

RIP. Very sad to see a fellow petrolhead pass away doing what he loved.

I love how the cop's response was a reverse bribe...

So a Toyota sports car with RWD and a straight six is in the works? That'll never work...

I am planning on using a Nissan to start off as well, albeit a newer FWD one.

Ahh, Goo-Net. Thy treasures never cease to amaze.

That moment when you realize they used to run Ouninpohja at night...

Exactly this. And also big mudflaps.
