New to car life
Hey guys/girls, I am new to this whole car project life, my friends have been a part of it and I am tired of feeling alienated by their car talk. So I decided to start my life right and get a 1999 Miata. I'm from East Side San Jose so the first thing I got for it was a quick release because I do not trust my project car(which I intended to pour money into) in my neighborhood. I am also a reptile keeper and have a ball python collection. I have read a couple threads but not enough. I found this page through thecarpassionchannel and hope to learn a lot from you guys. I am here to learn how to PROPERLY turbocharge my Miata and I know I have a lot of threads to read so I better get started 🚗🏃🏽💨

Welcome to the forum. A QR is a great anti theft device.
A 99 is a good model to start with.
Be careful with any YouTube turbo advice with regards to Miatas. There's a lot of misinformation and incomplete information there. Read our sticky threads and some of the build threads to see what works and what doesn't.

I will for sure ask you guys about mods and thanks, I know that there is a lot of misinformation so that is why I came here to ask for tips and advice. Makes me happy to know that there are a group of Miata keepers who take pride in their expertise and are willing to lend a helping hand to a newb 😂

You might want to look into getting a car tracker if you're worried about theft. Having wheel locks is not a bad idea either if you don't want to find your car sitting on jack stands without wheels...
Welcome here and I hope that your car (and you!) stay safe. I'm relatively new here but it's a great community if you're willing to do your homework!
