Greetings from Nashville
 

Hi everyone, I'm Mike Carpenter. I work for Dell. Moved to Nashville from Pittsburgh in '06 and got my first Miata in '08. I'm currently on my second, a '91 Mariner Blue, which is my daily driver and autocross / trackday car. You might already know me from other Miata sites, but thanks for looking anyhow. :)

The '93 1.6 in my car is pretty healthy compared to my previous 1.6, i'd imagine it would put down right around 100whp.

I joined up to (surprise?) get some better info on turbo setups. Currently I'm the slowest turtle on the track at trackdays, and I'd eventually like to add a DIY kit to my car; the goal being to have about the 150whp that my old neon had. Hopefully the economy picks up, my wife finds a job, and I get a little bit of disposable income to make this actually happen.

Photo and video time!

:wavey: Hey Mike, fancy meeting you here. Warning: boost is addictive, you will never be happy at 150 whp. Ask me how I know.

Hiya Brian, I know 150 won't be enough, but it'll be a start!

Welcome to the forum, Mike.

Welcome, i bet the speedway was a good change from the parking lot autocrosses. I'm yet to make one of the open track days yet and doubt I will anytime soon now that I'm in Auburn. Great looking car, welcome to the forum.

Welcome!

Yay! more locals!
