Default Greetings from New Mexico.

Hello miataturbo peeps!

I'm new here, but I've been reading the forums here for quite awhile now to build my Miata and I figured I should introduce myself! I own a 1990 Mazda Miata that I bought in 2016 with over 300k original miles, this was my first car and the car I learned how to drive standard on. Over the years, particularly the start of 2018 was when my Miata obsession really started to take off when the original motor blew up. Since then I swapped in another 1.6, pieced together a sweet turbo setup, and slowly started building the car. I've always been interest in circuit racing and time attack, a few years ago one of my good friends told me about these time attack events being held at my local track. I went to my first track day shortly after and was addicted ever since, my Miata slowly started evolving around time attack and has come a long way from when I first got it. Here are some sweet pics of my Miata!


This is my Miata in it's current form at the last event at my local track. "Suika Circuit", formerly known as Sandia Speedway in Albuquerque, NM


iykyk xD
By the way I'm a huge weeb and love anime and other 2d things, what can I say it's art. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯




How the engine bay looks currently as of now.







I'll make a build thread later, but for now I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi!

Thanks in advance, and I hope to learn more!

I met you at the last ASR event and I was impressed with the car! I hope to see you down there again.

Good looking car, man! If you don't mind me asking, where'd you source those dive planes? Love the shape.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks man! I bought these canards off Rev9, I believe they're the extra large frp garage vary canards. Not entirely sure if they do anything but I like the way they look, I'll probably remove them in the future.
