Just need to spend an extra 1000 for a bigger turbo and ecu to basically tune for 600hp.
true, my car already came with teins suspension, some form of swaybars, R154 transmission, and drilled/slotted disks; along with other performance goodies.
But I predict under 6k including price of car purchase for a quick car.
GOOD looking NA miatas can be super quick for that much or even less.

I have spent a total of $2650 dollars on rebuilding my supra engine with forged rods and pistions, along with BC cams.

gayata secrets:
-Automatic 1.8l engines have a lower compression ratio, but still a metal headgasket, and exhaust side turbo feed (1994). Perfect for bigger boost on stock motors. ($500~)
-2000 1.8l heads are better for coolant flow ($200~)
-Kia water necks are gay friends for coolant reroutes ($15-$25)
-Automatic NA miata radiators are larger compacity, and have built in oil/trans cooler lines (unless you want a mishimoto radiator) ($90-$150)
-Megasquirt is pretty cheap for a standalone, and really good. ($400-$650)
you get the idea.

Yes. I post some family things, my cat, guns, and cars.
No food, half of my face, random crap on a table, or pics of my shoes...
...except the one where I am taking a dump.
MK3 poopras also make for family cars.
And there is little subtle things I have to **** people off in my own way.

I saw that video a week ago, didn't know Shaggy from Scooby Doo was building cars. So basically, this hipster kid needed attention and he dumped a ton of cash into this ridiculous build. His hipster buddy posted it on here for extra attention and was elated to find that no one liked it; he wanted to use it as an excuse to start controversy and tell you all what haters you are. Typical trolling, hipster b.s.
All he wants to do is get attention, and so do you. I'm pretty sure over 70% of the Miata community(avid road racers, autocrossers, etc) would destroy your friend, with all his canyon "skills" and deathtrap RX7. Seriously, the Miata is one of, if not the most raced model of vehicle on earth, you should know better.
Except you did say he was faster than 70% of Miata owners. Read your comment above and avoid contradicting yourself further.
Most hipsters do lol
ROFL.
You guys need to understand that he didn't care to make it look pretty. Why does it have to look pretty if you are just going to drive it hard (when i say, drive it hard, i will say with confidence that 70% of the miata community would have a hard time keeping up with this car and him). Despite his looks and age he is also one the most skilled driver ive driven with because he literally goes up in the canyons every other night for the past 4 years. He has owned a miata, an evo for a short time, a 1970 Porsche, an FD RX-7, and currently he drives this RX and his DD is a 2000 something MR2. He has experience in all platforms. AWD, RWD, Mid engine, rear engine, front engine. All he wants to do is drive not arrive in style.
I'm not setting up races here and I'm not saying he is faster than you or anyone else. I'm just saying he does in fact care about performance...
The only track time i know of that he has is in Lemons racing when he was 17 i think. He didn't care much for the track since he lived at the bottom of a road that is much more versatile than any track around.
