1990 Stanced & Boosted in Canada
2 Attachment(s)
Hey guys,
I'm Nick from Ottawa, I'm 18 years old. Picked up my 1990 NA about a month ago, with 174,000kms.Immediately lowered it on some cheap raceland coilovers(Yes they're cheap I know) and put on some 15" xxr 531's with 20 offset. Then I got bored of the power(That's what happens when you were previously driving a 330hp skyline!) So then I got the idea to turbo:idea: I'm in the process of boosting it, here is the set-up: Vibrant intercooler Vibrant intercooler piping and connection joints Turbosmart BOV ACT heavy duty clutch (1.8L) ACT racing flywheel (1.8) Megasquirt PNP 420CC Mazda RX8 injectors Stainless Steel Ramhorn manifold Stainless Steel Down pipe Garret T25/T28 turbo Vibrant Air intake A couple pics: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383532047 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1383532047 |
Looks like a decent car. Props on the mspnp. Don't forget the most important part...wideband!
Watch how you use the word "stanced" I clicked expecting to view a Miata with voluntary broken suspension. |

You'll fit in just fine around here. Welcome, by the way.

I think it should be raised up and put on some better suspension (like even stock), but other than that, its looking good.

Yeah... Low doesnt mean it handles better. Car looks good overall though! Welcome!
I HOPE your "stainless ramhorn manifold" isnt from Ebay.... if so, youre gonna have a hard time... |
Some underhood shots? :)

Lol, yeah, some of the factory Bilstein options were very capable and upgradable.

H&R coilovers are shit too, spending 2k on coilovers doesnt guarantee they will be much better than $200 coilovers.
Dont worry, hang around here and you'll learn. |
Cool.... just be very careful with that manifold. If its unknown where it came from, it could bite you in the ass. The only good "ramhorn" style manifolds ive seen are from Artech. Usually they crack... then you weld them.... then 2 cracks appear.... then you weld those, and put relief cuts, and weld supports to the runners.... then those crack off..... then a few more welds.... then it shatters all over. Lmao
|
And, yes... your car looks good lowered... especially without the stupid ass "swag-style" EXTREME camber. lol Your camber looks pretty good from what i see in the pics. lol
|
Thank you for not destroying your car.
Looks good. Should be fun when you finish your build! |

Yeah, I've worked for my money, and selling my Car Memes facebook page definitely helped fund the turbo build on this car haha. I figure the time when I have no family or responsibility is probably the best time to own a 2 seater convertible!
