Howdy
I've been reading through the threads on this forum for a little over a year now but just joined. I bought my 95' last year while I was laid off from Covid and I've been driving and modifying it ever since. My last car was a 93' MR2 with a big turbo and I really miss that car but it wasn't nearly as practical, easy and cheap to work on as this platform. I've maxed out my m45 setup on this car running e85 at 180whp/170wt and I plan on going with a Trackspeed or Kraken 3" EFR kit as a project for this winter. I really need help figuring out fittings and plumbing for turbo setups and I hope not to ask to many stupid questions. If you're near the Cincinnati area hit me up!

Someone please stop me from spending more cash on this thing.

 

Super clean car man. Not a huge fan of the chevron stripes, but I love the rest. Which hood vents are those? I usually don't like the looks, but those look great on your car.

And welcome. I recommend Kraken's setup for sure.

 

Thanks! The vents are from Trackspec. I'm a fan of how they look, my supercharger is completely visible from one of the side vents when the hood is closed which looks mean. The car came with the vinyl and I was gonna remove it but I had the wheels powder coated white and now I'm unsure.

 

Clean NA, welcome!

The Trackspeed setup is NLA, so Kraken is it for an EFR cast manifold at the moment.

Just move the fender stripes a little closer together...

 

Nobody's gonna say anything about that plate?

 

That license plate is awesome.

 

I'm amazed the DMV let you get away with it.

My car had VA "redtube" plates on it.

 

Whoever gave me my profile pic thank you. Promise this makes my parents super proud.

 

You're welcome.

 

Heh, and with that Cincykemo has achieve 1:1 posts:cats. Congrats!

I sold this car. Big mistake. It was so good. Miss the Miata stuff and learned a lot on this forum.

I sold it to a guy in VA. If anyone knows where it's at LMK.

The state of Ohio decided my 2GRL 1 CP plates were no longer appropriate and "recalled them." I'm still really mad about it but I got to keep the front one.

This is the new whip, 275 ish whp. It's pratical and I'm doing a nice sound system. Meh.

 

Nice ride. I always wanted a fiesta ST, though the focus makes a nice daily. Miata is about as good as it gets for an exciting weekend/track car, but really not a great daily.
