Hello all
My name is Tylor and i just purchased my 1990 Mariner blue with 105k on the odometer. Bought it a little rough: Previous owner had a whale tail spoiler he removed leaving holes all over the thing, as well as busting the rear finish panel (thanks to SoFlaRick for hooking me up with parts!!!) Got his trunk, rear finish panel, as well as 2 big ol'boxes of stuff i picked up when i went down to meet em. Still on the hunt for a new soft top as well as roll bar. Immediate plans: New top General freshining up of the interior. Stinks cause the leaky roof as well as just general fading of a 20 year old convertable to clean up Future plans include: Either boss frog dual hoop or Harddog M2 with diagonals Moss motorsports low rise with HID's in the low beam projectors Suspension of some sort, undecided if coil overs or struts/springs will work for me 6UL's and eventually a Jackson supercharger But, for now, here she sits Gonna be getting seat covers as well as new carpet to clean up the interior Attachment 203073 Attachment 203074 Attachment 203075 Attachment 203076 |

What's mid south florida? Welcome though. I'm a Tallahassee temporary and from West Palm originally.
I love a smurf, but you'll find people here telling you to stay away from the JR s/c. Inexpensive turbo options are available and they give vastly more torque + power. |
depending how south and mid u are i've got a black soft top on the cheap...
|
welcome. Your wife and I have the same wheel scheme. may even be the same wheels
|
Sorry guys, forgot to update my location after posting this
Mid South Florida is Treasure Coast. lol I'm in Port Saint Lucie. I'm too far north to be considered South FL, but, still too far south to be Central Florida And i've already driven back and forth to Miami twice collecting parts as well as the car itself. I'm on the waiting list at a Miata scrap yard, but, all his tops are tan at the moment. As to Callie's wheels, they're a no name brand. I traded my stock wheels for em plus $100 to a guy parting his car. They're exactly what she wanted, so, she's happy And thanks for the welcome guys! |
hey, i am in west palm beach
|

If you have a garage, you and I will be really good friends :makeout: Plus, I will show you why you would rather have a turbo. |
I am not "officially" a member of Treasure Coast Miata Club, but, it's just a group of guys that get together

dp, which car did you come up in? Not sure if i met ya
Sorry i havn't kept up with this thread. Boosting is last on the list of stuff to do at the moment so i havn't been on here much. and 94mx5red, treasure coast miata club is a group of guys from stuart to vero i think, or as far down as guys wanna go. I have only met up with the guys once or twice, once at the after thanksgiving picnic. |
No supercharger mang!! Put a snail on that piece.
|
roger that. Met up with a guy with a red na 1.6 with a small turbo setup i'm interested in. He's running stock ecu, i think bigger injectors, and a non intercooled turbo. Works great for him in daily cruising.
I'm not lookin for boost any time soon though. Got too much other shiz to take care of Oh, and got the rollbar installed http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2531/...b4f1918e_b.jpg |
