Default New Miata Owner from EastBay, Ca

Hi all,

My name is JT and I'm a new owner of a Ti grey 2004 Mazdaspeed Mx-5 with 73k miles I sold my pig of a 2011 Mazdaspeed 3 for this guy.

My plans are to lightly modify the MSM and eventually figure out how to shoehorn a ls3 into it.

I'm coming from mazdaspeedforums.org so I have a rough understanding that I should do a bit of reading before posting silly things :-). I look forward to meeting you guys / gals.

Here's the old love:


For a while I had it nicely modified: cp-e triton exhaust, UR testpipe, ETC tmic, corksport intake & TIH, Cobb AP, and springs on Koni Yellows. Pushing 19ish psi of boost.

and the 2004 Ti MSM GT, bone stock for now:

Thanks guys. I always thought the NB looks like a mini rx-7.

Yeah, I've got ~3k worth of used parts that will make an awfully nice miata build
Was going to use the bnr on the miata but plans have changed

99 nb, going to build the kit from scratch. Just starting to work on the manifold design and turbo selection.

Looks like you got a nice find. Good luck with it!
