Just thought I'd introduce myself

So I have a tendency to go b*lls deep when I take on a new project. Last November I picked up a 1994 Miata with 100K miles on it in really good condition. No rust, new soft top, interior has been looked after well. Generally in remarkable shape for a car in Canada that is 21 years old.

I bought it as kind of a toy side project. I come from having a couple Subaru WRX-STI's (06 and 09) as well as a 1986 VW Golf Rally car.

Anyway the idea was to slowly upgrade the car and not really put any money into it because it was a cheap toy (relative to the others). Right off the bat things needed changing. The steering wasn't as tight as I like....full poly bushing swap out, proper rack depowering, new lower ball joints, new tie rods (inner and outer). Since I had all the control arms off mise well get them powder coated right?

Then the suspension was a little to tired for me, FM Vmax with FM swaybars and endlinks.

Now the ride is where I like it...well except the tires are pretty meh so new 17" rims (I hear I will regret this on a NA) and new performance summer rubber.

Even with the crappy tires the car is pretty damn fun for what I have invested in it....yet...here I am. I put the deposit on a exocet frame last week it'll take 6 months to be built though. Tomorrow the order goes in for the FM II turbo kit and a minor brake upgrade.

Looking forward to the information in the forums. Are exocets still welcome here or are they the ugly step child of miata's?

 

Welcome to the site trenon, thanks for joining up!

 

Looks like you're off to a great start.

Ditch the 17" rims though asap! You and your suspension will be very happy *Also known to potentially cure ED
