Hi everyone,

After being inspired by riding in a friend's turbo miata, I've come into possession of a front ended, 'drifted' 1999 in Emerald Mica. Currently road legal with three fence posts as a bumper, spare driver side mirror off a 944 turbo, and lots of zip ties and duct tape. Subframes are mostly made of rust. The good news is that it has a few decent things on it already, and is the second nastiest miata i've seen.

The plan tentatively is to concentrate on the drivetrain, then swap that into a non-terminal shell I have lined up. Slowly piecing together parts for MS/boost, and I have a RX7 clutch-type to rebuild.

I'll have pictures when it's light out. It looks ridiculous and sounds awful in the way that only a car bought with incorrectly installed underglow and no good body panel can.

Welcome to the site quark, thanks for joining up!

That car sounds gnarly, definitely take some pics before it ends up in a structurally sound body!

Sounds like a great build thread candidate, keep us updated (pictures are always nice).
