<p>People like to rag on NB1's but look at how many there are turboed on this site. 9.5:1 CR is another plus IMO, over NB2's 10:1, for the FI (not everyone has E85).</p><p>MSM's are pretty. No question.</p>

I wouldn't say rag. I don't think anyone here actually dislikes the nb1, actually most of the track guys prefer them over the 2 due to simplicity and more parts carryover, and cheaper ecu solutions. Kinda like what concealer is getting at

Dang psyber I just saw your build.. 301 hp! That's awesome. I'd be happy with 230-250

I definitely don't have a desire to tell people I have a msm
I'm thinking you guys are right and I should start with a normal nb2 or nb1 and go from there!

That depends on YOU and your abilities. If you can handle the tuning learning curve then have at it. Obviously stay stock & tweak your msm base tune to perfection.

Reason(s) I went with my mazdaspeed.... "That front bumper doh..." & Clean interior/exterior & Ti paint color.

When I arrived at the dealership 4 hours away, I was surprised with a BEGi S3 kit under the hood. And a life time supply of lemonade

Welcome, ryankpeck. Check out the Miata Gallery and post up some pics!

These two things for sure.

I changed over to MS3 while na. Best decision I made. And sure you arent going to have a super duper awesome race car with race car noises.. But you also won't blow up your car.

NA crowd checking in.

Yeah the plan now is to definitely go megasquirt before going FI. I started to read through the "how to tune your megasquirt" section on their site and it looks like there's quite the learning curve which I'm sure I can handle.
I'm in no rush to get one so It'll probably be a while until I find the right one at a decent price.
Lot's of plans that will all take time.
I want whichever one I get to eventually be a track car

That happiness will last about a week, you'll be back for more

ryankpeck

Haha you're probably right but at that point I need to build internals and it starts to get really expensive.. Not saying it's going to stop me

<p>Way to take suggestions.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Buy his NA if he's selling it. Seriously, what a sweet car.</p>

I found an NA last weekend, MINT condition with 84k miles with a hardtop for only 2000 but I called the lady selling it 16 hours after she posted it and it was already gone. I probably would've just flipped it to be honest since I want to get an NB now but still.. It was a great deal I missed out on

I'll find one eventually

Save your monies for 'THAT PURFECT' miata

ryankpeck

At this point I have the money.. Just waiting for "THAT PURFECT" miata to come along. That one was it but I was just wasn't quick enough

ryankpeck

So last weekend I found a pretty good condition, completely stock na with 76k miles. After negotiating I got the car for a pretty good deal. Not sure if I'm going to keep it or flip it and just keep looking for an nb. Either way I'm pretty excited with it

2 pages in and no cat pictures.

Photos will come this weekend! I went and saw it on the weekend but had no way to get it home so I just need to take a trip to the dmv to get it registered so I can go pick it up.

ryankpeck

Sorry, I never got around to putting the photos up but here it is!
76k and I buffed and waxed it this weekend so It's looking very pretty!
