I'd GLADLY pay $1,500 for car reg if I didn't have to pay state or city income tax.

REDMOND, WA - Yesterday evening, at about 9:19 p.m., a woman reported she had just been robbed of her vehicle and personal possessions at knifepoint at Redmond Transit Center on the 16100 block of NE 83rd St.
Redmond Police are searching for three suspects involved in the carjacking. One suspect threatened the victim with a knife.
He is described as a black male with a bald head, wearing a dark-colored, hooded sweatshirt and dark-colored jeans. (See sketch below.)
The male suspect was accompanied by two black females, one of whom had braided hair and was wearing a tight, long-sleeved, white T-shirt and blue jeans.
The trio approached the victim in the parking lot of the Target shopping center and initially asked her for money. When the victim refused, the suspects asked for a ride to the transit center and she allowed them to get into her vehicle.
Once they arrived at the transit center, the male suspect pulled out a knife, told the victim to get out of the vehicle, and threatened to stab her. The victim jumped out of the car and did not sustain any physical injuries.
The victim’s vehicle was described as a black 2003 Kia Sorrento with gray driver’s side door and gray passenger side quarter panel. The vehicle has Washington state license plates with the number ABY8043.

Tuned ND Miata 2.0L crank HP
Looks like some pretty solid gains with a tune. About 22 HP, not a monster torque gain, but added 800 RPM to the redline and that's a damn flat torque curve. Probably worth it for the added RPM alone, as a 6k redline is pretty

Woa, that tq curve is legit Could eat off it.
Dang, with the stock gearing, this is probably a ton of fun.
Wonder how safe the tune is. It's gotta be pretty edgy to get those numbers...

Yeah IDK about tune safety. I know the skyactiv motors pull timing like crazy when they get hot stock.
And it probably is a ton of fun. They already scoot to 60 in about 6 flat stock.

ND with standard intake/header/tune is pretty fucking quick and the autox dudes running them haven't had any engine issues, they make around 175-180 hp at the wheels and do 62-65 mph in 2nd depending on tire size and how risky you like to be with the rev limiter. 2016 models all had transmission issues but those were not related to power/torque increases, they failed bone stock.
A guy locally has one that's well prepared and driven, he's put 2 full seconds on me at autox each time and it's mostly in acceleration zones. 175 vs like 120 hp at the wheels with similar weights = he's GONE out of corners.
