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 meeting you as well! I hope to be attending more events down that way in the future.

 

This car needs more springrate for sure but it ******* RIPS, tater chips.

 

Also, what happened to your turbo manifold that you're looking for another??

 

I still have my Kraken turbo manifold, I'm looking for a friend who is in need of one.

 

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.

Welcome! Awesome build, and nice to meet you in person too.

 

Ha, I just came across this thread but glad you are on here. This car does indeed RIP. Give us a build thread!

 

Woo, big things coming man! Congrats on your first motor pull. Can’t wait to see the 6D go in the car.

Sorry both my tail housings didn’t work for you haha. I didn’t know the history on the first one but the second one came from a JDM parts yard, if that helps at all.

 

Thanks dude. And thanks for the tail housings. I haven’t forgotten to ship them back to you, just waiting on the shop to be done.

also, you scrolled too far down and answered in a different thread haha

 

I was looking at your thread just now wondering where my comment went haha.

Then I was like, oh cool this other old thread got revived! Facepalm.

No worries at all on the tailshafts man! You seem to have plenty going on right now. Whenever you get a chance to send them back is fine.

 

This is Serenio's thread. The fastest track miata I know of in NM!

 

It sure looks it!

Man, you guys gotta stop making me think this thread is getting updated, I've gotten excited twice for it now

 

Dude's killing it! Such a great little setup, punches WAAAY above it's weight class.

I need boost badly.

 

Thanks for all the kind words guys! I will be making a build thread soon that will cover everything I've done to the car in the last 7 years, as well as future updates! Thankfully I've documented most of what's been done throughout the years.

 

You reset the A class time at CSR yet? I remember you saying no boost until then. We hold each other accountable around here hahaha.

Sweet! I'll check it out when you do.

 

I'm the CCW record holder, still haven't driven the car CW at an event.

 

Well, at least the car is going to look sick(er) asf soon!
