Default Cutting out my birth defect

Hey all, I'm Grant. A few quick things about myself before talking about the car. I'm 21, in the AF, married, and living in Vegas. I did make a post in the meet and greet section as well. So initially when I purchased my miata, I thought that superchargers were great, and thought it was a steal($6000)(maybe it still is?). I realized I have a lot of work on my hands. After a lot of research, I decided to ultimately pull off and sell the M45 to fund life and future car parts. The car, as it sits: Reference here. So far, I haven't pulled it off yet. I'm not a mechanical engineer, or a mechanic, so I'm basically winging it(I also have little to no experience installing superchargers...) but with enough time and beers, I'll get it done. I'm probably going to wait a couple weeks/months until it cools down here, and I also have to source stock parts or make my own cold air intake.(?) I decided to go digging through the car's records after work, and realized I had glazed over a lot of stuff that previous owners had done to the car. Like:
Flywheel and clutch(no name clutch, i guess?)


V-maxx classics(with sick FM stickers, original from 2015!)

Lifters, supercharger purchase


It also has a JR header currently... There were 5 owners of this car, I believe. Records date back to 2004-ish. The supercharger was installed in 2007 with probably around 75k on it. Now it has 112k miles.
There was specifically one owner that did all of these. He also went as far to do speakers and suede inserts in the seats. These cost him $850 and $450, respectively. The next post to this build page will likely be with the SC off, and maybe when I get my MS2/3. Thanks for reading my bs! Cheers.

Also, with respect six, my sig. Thanks for opening my eyes.
