What the hell is wrong with you guys?!
 

Hey guys, I just felt like saying hey since I am new to the Miataturbo.net forums. Originally, I do all my threading on Miata.net, but alot of times there are just too many old guys talking about how they love their floormats...lol. Since my Miata is "heavily" modified, I thought it deserved a spot on here.

Anywayz, I drive a 1997 Mazda Miata, repainted in classic red. It's got plenty of tasteful and practical mods, like rebuilt suspension. Here is what I got so far.

KYB-AGX 8 way adjustables.
FM 1st generation springs.
FM 2nd generation swaybars.
FCM 52mm bumpstops. (these are incredible)
97' M-Edition Alloys, soon to be wrapped in 215/45/15 Toyo T1-R's.
"China-tech" el cheapo strut tower brace.
1200 watt sound system with integrated 8 inch subs in rear deck.
2003 Black NB Leather seats.
Nardi Classico Steering wheel.
Magnaflow Catalytic converter and catback exhaust.
OBX 4-2-1 headers.

And i'm going forced air induction, it's not overwhelmingly powerful, but it should put down around 150-160 rwhp. I got a JRSC supercharger kit with FM Voodoo Box and 62mm 8 psi pulley. It also comes with a MSD ignition retard device.

Now I got a relative question. How in the hell am I going to get an intercooler mounted on this NA Miata? It looks absolutely impossible since I got pop up headlights, powersteering, and air conditioning in the way! It's much easier on the NB 4 sure... Does anybody have any tips or instructions on how to install some charge piping in an NA Miata?

Here are some pictures of my car.

Fixed... :bigtu:

So there's about 3000 threads here about various intercoolers in an NA and one guy who claims they're unnecessary. I wont even say to search because there's probably 2 or 3 current in the last 24 hours.

Basically those guys cut out their headlights and AC and bumper and just run a big fat IC instead of the front of the car. it's pretty neat.

Dude, no BS I saw a BMW 3 series that had a big ass intercooler for a front bumper Friday morning.

I think it belongs to a guy who works at the shop that's next to DIY Autotune.

is that a can of chew in your car? i prefer smoking by far.

cute car btw, could use a paintjob but otherwise it looks great! I think if you hang out for a while you may find that you either love it or hate it, but if you are serious about getting into turbocharging your miata and really understanding what you are doing, this is the place to be. BTW, we have a rather twisted attitude and occasionally use sarcasm, obscinities, and personal attacks to get our points across (and just for fun) so take it in stride, theres some peeps on here who you could really learn from.

btw, not really heavily modified. Almost stock actually :)

The greeting I received.

Welcome To The Thunderdome Bitch!

heh, I think I joined before people were mean.

in any case, welcome to the forum.

We flame because we care.

welcome.

Welcome to the forum. Just some quick advice. Don't be affraid to search because a lot of questions have already been answered and don't listen to anything Magnamx-5 says. Good luck with your FMIC!

Give the WI a serious look, and routing pipes shouldn't be that hard. The pizzaboxes are a non-issue.

I like your car except for the tails. But whatever cooks your taco man.

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS! Thanks for the 17 pictures of a RARE stock looking red Miata at different angles in nature. I really enjoyed the ugly tail lights and steering wheel. THAT IS ALL.

Damn brutas.

Give encouragement on the FMIC Magna!

:rofl: never

Damn, people on this forum are assholes...

LMAO!!! WELCOME!

Some more than others yeah but we know about FI miatas BTW I love the clear tails and the nardi wheel.

My car looks a lot like yours I guess:

I'm keen to get a JRSC for my 1600 but have a few other things to take care of first. Let me know what you think of the kit!

Also, don't worry about the smart comments, everyone is easy going on here and I think it is a good way to be. Lots of sarcasm is better than lots of bullshit like another larger forum I know of.

Cheers

assholes or badasses?

:cool:

That's Mr. Badass Asshole to you.

nice ricer tail lights.

get a turbo....and a job, hippy.

Boy, it's a wonder we manage to keep any new members around here...

Welcome to Hell, dude! Please disregard the badsss assholes. :bigtu:

I like how you have the rockers painted, but i always thought that look really needed the R-package lip spoilers to look right.

Yeah, alot of people thought that it would make the car look fat, but the car looks nice, especially since I installed the front painted mud-flaps. (keeps the side clean) I would like to get one of those factory air dams...very 94-95 RX-7'sh...

Lol, you guys are weak sauce, I'm a honda-tech veteran and compared to those guys this place is chuckey cheese. Anyways slack off on cody he's not a big noob like most new ppl in threads. He knows a lot about the mechanics of these cars and is just looking for a little help. Yes, the 56k doom pics were not needed and his tail lights could make stevie wonder squint, but he's a cool guy, just a bit over zealous.

Car has brand new paint of flawless show car quality. One of the best jobs I've ever seen in person.

He just said he had a JRSC

As much as sarcasn is used in this forum you'd think you guys would be able to recognize it.

akaryrye, what the crap, my car needs repainting? That's gotta be sarcastic right now, but if you expect me to go Fast and Furious and start with the candy green paint job and the jap logos and all the other things that some of these teens put on their cars that looks obnoxious and tears to shit pieces when you hit the curb, then you talking to the wrong guy.

I

put a big vinyl dragon on the side. AWESOME.

Hey welcome to the forums man, i had to give you hell. Your car looks hella nice and your paint is perfect, im just jealous. I was serious about the "heavily modded" comment though.

We gave this guy hell too when he first came on the forums talkin his shit up ... lol, hes cool now (i guess :) )

one more time.......in reference to the "heavily" modded comment wherein "..." denotes sarcasm....

idunno i guess it wasnt obvious enough. Like when you meet someone for the first time, it can be tough to catch on to their sort of humor. Well then cheers to a sense of humor that I didnt catch on to :friday:

It's cool dude. Cody is actually the one that got me into mx-5s. And he's helped me work on mine a lot so he's cool in my book.

:bigtu:

Haha busted.

If you guys have any issue with being treated harshly, you might want to PM Philip, he'll set things right.

actually that's not a bad idea. i'm sure he'll make a fair decision and treat everyone with respect.

it's stated in the member by-laws "satisfaction guaranteed"

:rofl:

I'm lmao... really, roflcopter to the third power.

Hey Brian, did you ever sell that Civic? ;)

This has to be one of the most gay statements ever made on this forum. That's a pretty impressive feat considering we have Hustler hanging around.

looks like shit sitting so low.

Nice heavily ricer modded mods too.

fucking please :x: :x: :x: :x:

I hear alot of this Tom guy from parts department in Decatur Alabama, anybody know him?

Please, continue to blatantly flaunt your inability to recognize sarcasm.

It's parts group, and stop tyring to start that up again cody, I'm done with that whole ordeal.

"hey, you know what would be cool? To jump on the "make fun of that guys car" band wagon! Yeah that would make me look cool and intellectually inclined"

......

HEY I KNOW! Come on to my forum, and act like a complete ------, that sounds like an awesome idea.

Nice, been working on that one for some time have you?

lol ... this has to be one of the more brutal initiations i've seen yet. I suggest simply letting this one pass.

its funny watching the newbs pick fights with the admin

All Phillip needs to do is bend the OP over and make him squeal like a pig.

Judging by the new thread title, he already did. ;)

Frank

Busted on both yer asses. :D

I dont know him but I got a buddy in Decatur. Yellow Z06 with black wheels.
:rly:

wow you really have that much trouble digesting peanuts? :bigtu:

jesus christ what is this place?!

:cool:

problem solved :hs:

come on, like they were ever really going to work out anyway

I want your steering wheel...
