Flyin' Miata : Testimonials

You people are the only ones...
Just want to say thanks. You people are the only ones who explained the difference between the brakes on the different years of Miata's.
Everyone just ask sport suspension or not. I bought my wife a 2003 automatic with the 16 inch wheels. So no sport suspension. So wrong brake pads bought. After reading your web site I now know it has the large brakes. Thanks for the help. I wish I had found your site before I started.

It's all good!
Have to chime in here, I usually just sit and read the posts, but I have to say that this is the typical service that I have received from FM. I have bought FM 2 turbo kit, dual exhaust kit, 1.8 liter swap kit, extreme happy meal clutch kit, upgraded headlight kit, racing radiator, and still awaiting delivery of a frame rail-butterfly brace kit all from flying miata. Have had some issues and questions about several of the parts, but always got a quick and precise answer from them. Have returned items simply because they " didn't look right on my car"
Bottom line is that they have always given me the best possible service I could expect from any vendor. Keep up the good work.

Thoughts after living with an FM-built car.
I thought I'd give you an update on the "Mazdaspeed Alternative" you put together for me a couple of years ago. The last major problem was ignition mis-fire under high boost and that was recently licked with new spark plugs recommended by Jeremy. I can now turn up the boost as high as I dare (I briefly saw 27 psig when I adjusted the MBC too far to the right) with no missing or knock. Yeehaw!

With one minor exception (which I'll address below), the car is everything I'd hoped for. With the chassis stiffening (Butterfly Brace and Cannon rear brace), it feels as tight (if not tighter) than when I picked it up from the dealer over sixteen years ago. The AFCO suspension is, dare I say it, comfortable. Road imperfections, frost heaves and potholes (of which we have plenty around here) are absorbed with aplomb and I've only recently been able to stop tensing up when I'm about to drive over some bad pavement. When I need the performance, the car turns in with aplomb, takes a set and holds the line with no complaints whatsoever. This is truly a no-compromise suspension.

The engine? Well, the engine is a giant killer. Torquey at low revs, it starts coming on strong at 3,000 rpm and I see full boost before 4K, at which I'd better be sure about which way the front wheels are pointed. Unlike many cars that hint at great power reserves at throttle tip-in, this engine actually has plenty in reserve as the revs build. It's endlessly entertaining and a better writer than me could write an epic poem on its sterling qualities. The 3" exhaust was also a good addition. It lowered boost onset by several hundred rpm, exhibits no drone at highway speeds and has an absolutely delicious burble on engine overrun.

I'm also pleased with the Stage 2 clutch. While not quite oem-like, it's much easier on the calf muscles than any of the heavy-duty ACT clutches I've tried. The Quaife tranny shifts like a stocker and so far has stood up to all the abuse I've thrown at it (which is more than I can say for the stock Torsen). This brings me to my only complaint: Gear noise. I knew it was a factor, so I didn't go in with my eyes closed. The gear whine is actually quite entertaining in the lower gears (Keith said it was "supercharger-like" and that's spot-on), but at highway speeds the whine competes with and wins against both wind noise and tire roar. Dropping to fourth is actually quieter, despite running about 1,000 rpm higher. I'm not sure whether fifth gear is a weak point on the stock 5-speed (all anecdotal evidence points to one of the lower gears destructing first) and I'm sure the Quaife is not enough of a volume seller to warrant a running change. Given my druthers, though, I would prefer a less straight-cut fifth cog that won't prove so annoying on a road trip.

That's it for this report. Overall, I'm pleased as punch with my car. For a fraction of the cost of an off-the-shelf solution, I have a car with near-supercar performance that maintains the stealth look prefer (and keeps me in the Miata fraternity). Thanks again for all your help and support and feel free to quote me if you find any of the above useful.

Thanks for the great service!
Can’t thank you enough for your quick sales and service and very personal attention. Talking to a real person and having a follow-up call after the sale with a personal phone call was very cool. The used cruise control module came in two days, was the right item, and installed in 10 minutes. It worked perfect! I know who to call and will highly recommend you in the future.
Thanks!

BEST Miata company by far
Okay thank you so much for your help. I just wanted to say you guys have the BEST Miata company by far. SUPER fast shipping. Great products. And you KNOW what you're talking about.

Whenever I order from you guys, I am in Hawaii and it takes like 2 days. From ____ or other places I have to hassle them just to have something shipped out that i PAID for.

The Legendary Nurburgring
Hey All-

I took my FMII 10 AE to the legendary Nurburgring today. I'm happy to report that I had zero problems in 51 miles driven in anger. The turbo breathed like Darth Vader into my left ear, which blended nicely with the exhaust thundering in my right. More impressive than the turbo (although not having that kind of power would have made the trip much less fun) was the suspension. The Stage 2 FM suspension (4 years old) held the car absolutely flat and planted through some of the most insane corners I've ever seen. What makes them insane, I think, is the fact that there are no speed limits. They were nice and wide, so I often took them wide and cut hard in, and let the tires complain. Yet for all that, the only time the tail stepped out was when I wanted it to, with a turbo-pushed boot. It just gripped and gripped, all the way through two sets of hot laps. Back to the turbo, not once did it hiccup, surge, or do anything at all questionable, and it was HOT today. For Germany, 95 degrees might as well be Hell.

It did all that on one tank of gas, with the help of a little 2.5 gal can a friend brought, but since his Evo X's clutch crapped out, didn't need it. I drive 2 hrs to the track, 51 miles on the track, and 2 hrs home, there and back with the A/C blasting. Not one complaint from the car.

Thanks again for the careful engineering and thorough research on your products. They work, plain and simple. No drama installing the parts, no drama driving with the parts.

I see now why races are so long. The drivers don't want to stop. They're having too much fun.

Thanks again.

Great service!
I do really appreciate the time & effort you put into insuring I had the proper part and that it fit my application.

Additionally, I was amazed at the level of expertise, time & diligence you put in, especially for a very small dollar order. If your crew puts that kind of effort & support into a $16.00 order, I have ultimate confidence & comfort in placing a $2000 turbo or a $10,000 engine order. I know your people will stand behind it. Of course, your longevity proves it as well!

Over the years, I have nothing but pleasant experiences with your company

It just goes to show what great people make up the great company of Flying Miata.!

Although my budgets are limited, I will continue to send whatever business I can your way.

Again, thank you for diligence!

When I finally decided to use the FM parts on my own Miata toy, I had a car that could turn the tables on anything I've driven
I want to tell you and anyone else that they should not have to go through the costly journey that I went through when they could instead just call on Flyin' Miata for their needs for speed.

Just so you know where I am coming from:
I have raced (competition) all sorts of cars from Pro-7 RX7s, USTC Honda's, Spec Miata, a 400whp Evo and others - as well as numerous other cars during HPDE lapping sessions from a stock ZO6, a few stock C6 Corvettes, built STI's, an Exige S, stock and built S2000's, an E36 M3 lightweight with suspension kit, a few E92 M3's (with and without paddle
shifters) and many others. I have been able to drive around car problems and make whatever I sit in work for me. In the end, when I finally decided to use the FM parts on my own Miata toy, I had a car that could turn the tables on anything I've ever driven.

My instructor toy is a 1992 Miata which used to run a pre Jackson Racing Roots Blower. I blew up 5 engines on track over 6 years and decided I wanted a race shop to build me a reliable car. In 2008, I went to ___, who was our ___ ___ "25 hour race sponsor" in 2007 and 2008. ___ built our Integra motor and I wanted to give him my business after watching him support us at the 2007 25 hours of Thunder Hill. I asked ___ to look to FM for parts to do the 1.8 engine and transmission swap. At that time ___ charged me for (BUT CHOSE NOT TO INCLUDE) the FM Quaife tranny, a FM manifold and turbo kit, Hydra and FM Fuel rail system and 3 inch downpipe. He did install the Carrillo H-Beam connecting rods, Wiseco pistons stronger springs for the head and some other parts. But mostly what I got were donor parts from a 1995 150,000 mile car including transmission, aftermarket fake GT 2860, stock fuel rail, Map ECU fuel only piggyback, 2.5" downpipe.

This little monster was horribly difficult to drive - but pretty fast in a straight line. The car was difficult if not impossible to throttle steer around corners. After ___ left ___ ___, I spent good money to remove the parts that failed or just did not work well.

A little incomplete summary of some of the problems:
The fake GT 2860 flange broke studs to the manifold several times.
After the manifold could no longer be re-tapped, I checked it out myself and found that the 2860GT flange was warped!!! This is probably what caused stress on the bolts. I believe ___ sourced this as an aftermarket copy of a GT 2860.

The on-and-off throttle was brutal, with lots of hesitation (about 1 second) before the ignition responded to throttle inputs. Lifting off the throttle was abrupt and locked up the rear wheels in turns. Any attempt to get back on the gas resulted in a 1+ second delay - which was perfect for losing control - and then would help complete a spin - if not ahead of the fun and games - or at least make for interesting and scary maneuvers. It was not safe in traffic. I tried to anticipate the ECU - but I ended up just staying in the throttle and left-foot-braking everywhere. This ate up my 11 inch rotors and pads. The 2:01 lap in this beast at ThunderHill was frightening at best. My wife was afraid whenever I took her for a drive on the street since it was so herky jerky and violent.

___ is now run by ___ ___.
I decided to get the right stuff. We ended up buying a FM manifold (a beautiful piece). I got a good deal on a GT2871 which looked genuine when inspected. We needed to add a second vent to the valve covers.

I asked for the FM dual feed fuel rail with Corvette regulator which was complete with all the parts including nice braded lines. They also sources 750cc/min injectors.

I got the FM Hydra Nemesis which came with some goodies including a knock sensor and wide band O2 that came connectorized!

___ fabbed a 3 inch ss downpipe.

I sprung for the FM Butterfly Brace and Frame Rails.

There are more FM parts - but I cannot think of them at the moment.

All of the FM components came with unexpected extras to ensure perfect installation. I say unexpected because there are things most people just don't know about Miatas. Jeremy and others, like Brandon and yourself offered advice and knowledge so there would be no reinvention of the wheel.

The result? First - I cajoled my wife to go for a ride in the new Flying Miata. Even though it was much, much more powerful, she giggled loudly for a long time when I got on and off the gas. She said, "It is so smooth and fast --it's unbelievable." My first track day was a lot of fun. Instead of a hard-to-drive 252 whp monstrosity; I had an easy-to-drive 338 whp car that just kicked butt on track. I could drive it like a well design normally aspirated car - except that the car now accelerated with such alacrity that it was a joy to drive. It is so much fun you just need to go for a ride to see what I mean - but I know you know what I mean :)

The only problem I had was due to water boiling - but I know this is because ___ ___ delivered my car with a slightly crushed radiator gooseneck - which I assumed I had repaired. I am now having a billet aluminum gooseneck welded onto my Koyo and will use a 25# cap. I am sure this will solve the problem. I also use water injection and a 2 gallon reservoir to spray my intercooler, oil cooler and radiator with pair of misters once under boost.

I've also just ordered the ATI damper because the stock 150,000 mile crank pulley just sheered its bolts --luckily right in front of my house! I imagine this upgrade will work wonderfully as well.

Thank you for being a top notch beacon in a world of sometimes less than scrupulous people.

Thanks for checking!
You guys came through again like usual, which is why I order from you. I had priced out my parts very carefully on your site after I saw what you all carried for my timing belt job. When I actually came to order I rushed it and didn't pick the right year. That was caught and all the parts were edited to my correct year.

400 hp and 38 mpg!
(this is a report from Ross' drive home after having FM build up his car with a big turbo and a stroker. You can have your cake and eat it too!)
I got to Lamar, CO before I called it quits. I filled up before I left Palisade. I wanted to burn most of the tank before I checked the mileage so I headed off down US 287 after dark with about half a tank. Big mistake. I finally found a pump open after 378 miles and filled up. Even with topping off I could only get 10 gallons in the tank for almost 38 miles per gallon. I was driving the speed limit plus five for most of the way, maximum of about 80. I had never gone more than 340 miles on a tank of gas before and had gotten a maximum of 30 miles per gallon. Your observation that I might see better gas mileage was prophetic.

I’m hoping I never need the new part, but it does say volumes about FM’s commitment to service.
I know Flyin’ Miata is well known for their customer service, but my recent experience needs to be shared. Earlier this spring I was entered in an Enduro, which around here is 5 laps around a track, best sum time wins. During practice, under full boost, I lost a cylinder. I had to have the car towed home. After some investigation, it turned out the problem was the plug in adapter clip for the 550cc injectors. One clip had cracked and slipped loose. I had another race that weekend, so I got the replacement part sent next day air from Grand Junction.
Later I got a phone call from Flyin’ Miata, following up on my order and checking on their customer service. I mentioned that the clip was fairly new, but there was no way I could say if it was defective or had been cracked during installation. I just wanted to mention it. I believe I mentioned this twice, once over the phone and once in an email--I was not saying I got a defective part, just that it ‘might’ have been defective. The next day I got a shipping notice via email and a new part arrived in the mail a few days later. I’m hoping I never need the new part, but it does say volumes about FM’s commitment to service.

It only reaffirms that FM is the right choice.
Brandon - I REALLY appreciate all the time you've taken with me on this, and all the great communication. It only reaffirms that FM is the right choice.
I've had your dual exhaust in the past and have owned 2 sets of the 'old' springs and just bought a very lightly used set of the 'new' version. None of this has been purchased new by me from FM but you folks have always treated me as a customer. It's because of this commitment to your product and the enthusiast community that I actually have wanted to spend some money with you directly for a while. Since this will be a relatively big purchase, I prefer to buy it new so that I get the full warranty and feel less guilty if I have to ask for help or service! :-) Can't wait to get rolling on this...then I can start scheming on how to pay for AFCOs..........

Great Shipping!
"I am well aware of all the shipping options and differences between services for US-Canada packages, but it would seem that Flyin' Miata should be commended for providing all the relevant info in a very complete and straightforward manner to customers.

I have never seen such a complete and accurate summary as that provided in your eMail from any reseller, whether on the website itself or in any communication, ever."

AFCO customer service
I wanted to inform you of my latest dealings with AFCO. I'd found one of my dampers had leaked some shock oil after a few thousand miles and several months of usage. AFCO repaired it for free, saying that while these parts (like all racing parts) come with no warranty, if they get one back that doesn't appear to have failed due to abuse, they make an exception and repair it with no charge. Also, they quoted me a great price for a rebuilt/revalve if I ever need it. So, thanks for selecting a reputable, domestic manufacturer for your dampers. It's always refreshing to find good companies that take care of their customers.

My hat's off to you guys.
I have done business with you since I purchased my '97 new from the dealer. In every instance I have been more than pleased with the quality of the product and the exceptional service you provide. From your sound advice to the callbacks after an order delivery, your staff has been first rate in every respect. I recently arranged for you to rebuild my motor, and Jeremy has walked me through the entire process and has been extremely helpful with all of the details. Just the other day he called to let me know the status of the project without me asking. This is the kind of thoughtful, customer-oriented service that very few businesses carry on today. My hat's off to you guys and I look forward to doing business with you in the future. I don't hesitate to recommend you to everyone I meet.

A happy V8 customer
Thanks Bill – your team has done an outstanding job on the car. The communication with Jeremy and Keith on design and issues has been great!

The build pictures posted to the web are tremendous! I don’t know how many times a day I’d check to see if any new ones had been posted.

I mentioned before to Jeremy that Jon is the Chip Foose of Miata Overhaulin - the quality of his work is top shelf! Nothing but great comments from family
and friends following along on your website (once they got over the initial shock… "you're doing what to your car?!"). I only wish I’d booked this earlier so I could’ve avoided the Winter weather.

Moving on, regretfully
It has been a great experience working with you guys over the years. I learned a lot about Miatas and forced induction. However, the time has come to move on to a bigger set of wheels and 4 doors for comfort and additional passenger room as Melanie and I plan for retirement and a lot of travel. So, with tongue in cheek, I have "upgraded" to a Cadillac CTS-V. I can play in style.

MYTMOUS has been sold thanks to advertising on your web site. A gentleman from Windsor, Ontario bought her and picks her up on Jan 1st. It's hard to let go but I have no regrets for all the fun and new friends made possible through owning and building this car. Thanks for being my guide and fulfilling a dream. Please give my very best regards to Teri, Jeremy and Tami. You have a wonderful staff.

It's kind of fun to have to watch the right foot.
We'll, I now have a turbocharged Miata thanks to you all. I had to write and tell everyone at Flyin' Miata how great it is to have folks like you to make projects like mine possible.
I had no turbo charger experience and really had no idea how a complete system works when I started the install. Being able to downloaded the instructions a week before the system arrived was a great help. I felt somewhat familiar with the process when I began the install, but I soon had questions, to which the answers were only a friendly phone call away. Every instance I might add was for something I had overlooked or passed over in the instructions book. After a "Dooooh", I made it past each hurdle.
The system is running flawlessly and the Voodoo tuning was much easier than I expected. Now if this darn rain would stop! It's kind of fun to have to watch the right foot so I don't break the back tires loose in the rain. I would imagine this grin will last for a good while.

Saving a Miata from a cliff dive.
I couldn't miss all the customer feedback. I feel bad I never thanked you guys. I've called needing help with something I've broken more times than I can count, and I appreciate all your help. I probably would have shoved my car off a cliff in frustration long ago if it weren't for you."

Thanks!
I really can't say enough about you an Flyin' Miata. Just the tech help you give me through e-mail and even the small talk while I was in Iraq this past time has helped allot more than I think you could know. Not a lot can be said for the people at (BRAND X) who kept my car for a couple of months with one empty promise after another and sometimes not even returning my calls when all I wanted was the stupid ass (VAPORWARE ENGINE MANAGEMENT).
Then they dropped my car off on the street in the ghetto outside my apartment with the windows down and the keys sitting on my front tire without telling me they did so.

Salvage parts
I talked to you Monday and ordered the 10th anniversary seats. You said they were a little faded. UPS delivered them late last night so it was hard to tell. I took them to the sunlight today and could not tell if they are faded. These were above your description.
I have wrote your phone number on the wall and will call you for any further needs. I will also recommend you to anyone with a Miata.

Thanks so much

International shipping
An hour ago I received my package. Please tell the rest of the people there that you have been the fastest, most sensible-priced and honest shop I've ever done business with. You were even faster than the dealer 1km from my house(it takes him about a week to get an order delivered)!
Even my brother asked me if you had anything for his Nissan Almera (1,5L QG-15DE with aftermarket full exhaust system-a sad story).
I wish I could come myself to pick my next order.Until then keep up the good work and have a nice day.

The worst thing about FM
Just wanted to say “thanks” for all your help over the last 2 months whilst I have sorted my cooling system. I did a track day in June and after 5 or 6 laps my car temp gauge would be on it’s way off the scale.
After changing the thermostat, fitting the second fan (yes, the garage managed to fit it in the end), having a coolant system flush and fitting a track-dog radiator shield I managed to do a track day at the weekend in similar heat without having to stop for cooling at all.
I have a Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera back home in the UK and my Voodoo II Miata is way more fun on a track day and far cheaper to run and maintain. Thanks to you Guys & Gals at Flyin’ Miata for all the research, development and support that results in such a comprehensive range of performance products for the Miata.
But the worst thing…..there’s always more you can do to make the car quicker (and the bank account lighter!)

How to save money by spending a bit more
Thanks in advance. I’m slowly learning to just go to FM the first time around, because I’ve yet to actually save any money doing things the “cheap” way. No FM part that’s gone on my car thus far has needed attention afterwards, and your service is unparalleled.
Whoops, we forgot to write the name down!
2008-03-04

Sometimes, things go wrong. It's what happens afterwards that counts.
Keith -
I got the part first thing Saturday morning. I am VERY pleased!
Thank you so much for personally handling this mini crisis. Because this matter was handled so carefully and with haste I was able to install the parts this weekend. My car is fully reassembled and corner balanced. It is ready for this coming weekend's track event.
I couldn't be happier! I hold Flyin' Miata in very high regards!!! I also am bragging to my friends about the support I received from you.
This will not be forgotten.

FM tech support
I just want to say a big thank you for your tech help on the phone last week. I was experiencing shifting problems with my ‘00 Miata, and your tech line person led me directly to the slave cylinder as the probable culprit. I ordered the part that day, had it delivered 2nd Day by UPS (it arrived next day, believe it or not!), and the part was installed by my garage today. Everything is back to perfect, and I’m smiling while I’m driving once again. You guys saved me much time and frustration (the garage was ready to replace the entire clutch kit, “I’ve never seen a slave cylinder go bad, and this one is squirting fluid perfectly”, with a total clutch job cost of close to $900).
Thanks again and again. You have my undying gratitude.

#1 reason to own a Miata
Your extra effort is amazing and I tell everyone I know to get a Miata just so they have a reason to buy from you.
Chris Anderson
2007-02-07

hmmm, if they attended to those details, imagine the product.
I knew we'd get a fair answer from you, Keith. The thing I like about FM's site (whether this is product-relevant or not) is that FM actually
posted projected RWHP that's found VERY easily, along with install/tune "stars" to judge difficulty.
I didn't find expected results on the (Brand X) site or a breakdown table on installation (though instructions were right there on the page). The only mention of power is a reference to the big-boy 300+RWHP deal when you put ALL the goodies on. Sure, great, but what about not being able to afford all 6 grand in parts at once?
That doesn't necessarily reflect poorly on their product, of course, I just like that FM took the time to attend to such details - which makes
One think "hmmm, if they attended to those details, imagine the product." :)

Thanks for the help, FM!
My wife, Rebecca, bought me a set of FM sway bars for Christmas. I am sure you can imagine what a wonderful surprise it was. I am stoked to put them on. We live in PA so it is a little cold to do the work.
However, I have plans to put heat in my mistress' apartment (the garage) and do the installation this month or next.
I wanted to thank you for the help you gave to Rebecca. Believe it or not, she is very enthusiastic about this "hobby" ;-) of mine. I first started working on cars when I was13 with my brother. Yet I've never had the opportunity to really tweak a car like I've always wanted to (Mostly because I had to make sure I could get to work every day). I was 18 when the Miata was introduced and I wanted one right from the start. I bought one in 2000, a '94, black with a tan top.
You helped Rebecca and I solve our first problem: where to start? You also helped me get an idea of what the next steps are as well. I am so excited I can barely sit still! I have heard great things about Flyin' Miata from many web sites, including my favorite, Miata.net.
The service and advice my wife received from you was awesome. She didn't feel like a "Number" like some other places made her feel. I am sold on Flyin' Miata and I hope I'll be able to take advantage of your products and services a lot more in the future! It's great to work with an organization that is focused on their products and service, and not just on profit.
Thanks again, I hope your Holidays were as great as ours has been.

PS - I'm sure you know that Santa has a bumper sticker on his sleigh
that says "My other car is a Miata". I'll bet you he got the sticker from FM.

Thank you!
Thanks for your excellent customer service on this one, far exceeding my expectations and far better than your competitors. I've come to the conclusion after 12 years of good and poor experiences with the Miata aftermarket, that FM is the place for all my future orders.
Cheers!

No BS.
Good Morning Bill,

Just a quick note on how good Jeremy and Mark are on the phone. I always enjoy dealing with places that have genuinely have fun at what they do and are a no B.S. pretty much tell you how it is attitude. This will always bring me back to you guys for you products. (I'm pretty sure this is not the first time you've heard this, but you can never hear it to much!)
Kevin Rost

Nobody has more fun.
I am MOST impressed with what you guys do. I have owned 34 car (14 BMW's) and have NEVER seen more people have more fun! Thanks for the help.

I STRONGLY recommend you stick with Flyin' Miata's products. They are selling great stuff and are genuinely deep into the miata spirit. When you look for top of the line miata turbo systems, you'll end up at Flyin' Miata EVERY time. I'm not affiliated with them at all, but from the experiences I've had, I can say that they are a very good source to buy from. If it "sucks", they don't sell it.
The FM2 systems are just great. Tuning the computer is a little bit of a pain and realistically, you'll always have some very minor quirks, but by FAR you'll really enjoy the setup. I have a kit called the FM3 from Flyin Miata. Long story short, they took the benefits of my system and improved the FM2 a couple years ago. What you get today in a FM2 is pretty much the ideal streetable pocket rocket miata. Easily double your horse power. Scare the crap out of all passengers (and the driver on occasion). Hurt feelings of Mustang and Camaro owners. Even worry a few Vette owners. in one word, all I can say is "awesome".
People like Ken Hill and Bill Cardell at FM are absolutely super to work with. They know their stuff and are always available for help.

FM website
I appreciate ya'lls website, it helps to have someone who stocks miata parts. Where i live you have to go to five different shops to get what you need, and that if they have it or can even get it. I also appreciate ya'lls sense of humor, like the cat in the picture with the catalytic converter - thats pretty funny.

Smoke and mirrors?
Just a note to let you know that the Link is in and operating perfectly. Thanks to Ken for great tech support over the phone, and thanks to Flyin' Miata for great product and support.
I've tuned and modified cars since 1986, and in that time have dealt with dozens of vendors. Believe me, there are a lot of companies that don't have the integrity that you folks have. I'm impressed that every claim you've made about your products is backed up by results, not a bunch of marketing smoke and mirrors.
Thanks again, and keep up the good work!
