From an evo VIII to a 1990 Miata!
 

Hello everyone! My name is Chase. I love cars, and I am not going to lie, I never really liked Miatas. My first car (excluding the first couple boring ones) was a 1996 3000gt VR-4, then to an Evo VIII, then briefly owned a 2005 s2000, and now I find myself in a 1990 Mazda Miata. A buddy of mine had this blue 1990 Miata with no power anything, except a/c and a radio, with a hardtop. I had just sold my evo and was driving a red s2000. I took his Miata for a drive and for some reason I really fell in love with it! He actually ended up buying my s2k.

So now I have this 90' Miata with 140k on it. There are definitely some forced induction plans for her, but I am forcing myself to take it easy and research as much as possible before I start diving in. I am a pretty big fan of some of these retro interior builds I have been seeing around, so I'll be tinkering around in the interior while I do my homework on the FI stuff.

Look forward to hearing from you guys.

Welcome to the site.
There is a TON of good information in build threads. Most all of us have done a very good documenting our builds. They will give you great ideas for your own build.

First step I'd take would be roll bar, 1.8 swap with 99/00 head. Wideband and Megasquirt. Then turbo.

evo-miata, congrats on signing up at the best site on the web!

Welcome aboard, Chase.

Do not attempt to gold-plate your testicles.

That is actually some really good advice there. Thanks for the welcome guys.

Hello Chase and welcome to the club! Great to have another Miata owner here. Show it to us when you have a chance. There is a ton of information about our platform with supporting vendors who can get you where you want to go. Have fun surfing around!

Not sure if lost a bet, or trolling...

Welcome to here.

Hi.

Turns out not gold plating your testicles is good advice. Anyways thanks for the welcome guys, I'll throw some pics of her up today after work!

Now is after work for most in Alabama. Where are those pics?:dealwithit:

True enough, here are some not so fantastic pictures of it. No, I not just drive up to the closest parking lot to take pictures under a light post. I didnt even take a picture of the interior. wtf. Anyways, i did get the sick crazy awesome gauges in a pic, they turned out pretty well.
