What's more fun that racing in the 24 Hours of LeMons? Racing in it with a stupid-fast car. After a few years of honing our race craft, we decided to up the ante and bolt the ruined turbocharger from an early Subaru WRX to our yellow Miata. The result? 193 horsepower at the rear wheels, and a view…
Awesome!! Glad to hear the car ran well. Who did initial BS inspection? Didn't they pick up on the turbo?
Hope to see you out there soon! Coming up north for any races? I'll be at all the northeast races, CMP fall and Road Atlanta in December.
200 rwhp Miata - yeah, gonna get noticed. ;-)
The dementions in this photo are humorous.
The Fairlane looks unusually huge or the Miata looks unusually small.
Congrats on finishing strong out of the gate with a homebrew turbo. That's a huge accomplishment. I hope we get to read about it in the mag.
In the olden days of LeMons your car would probably be under an excavator.
49th? You probably would have finished a lot higher with a stock motor. I'll bet it was a lot more fun to drive with boost, though.
I'm impressed you could keep it together, good work.

I think you meant "dimensions". Or was that dementedly intentional?
So that banged up turbo held together? Impressive!
We had a good laugh at the Rolex. Turns out the cheap eBay manifold they bought is a copy of an old FM III system from somewhere around 1997.
You know, WRL is coming to Daytona in a few months 
No penalty laps, classified by power/weight. Good clean racing, did my first event with them last fall at Corvette Museum. Well run and a ton of fun. You know you want to
I'm planning on running with them again at Mid-Ohio in September.
