Hello from Glasgow, Scotland
Hello, Scott from Scotland, easy one to remember.
Joined back in 2019, been lurking ever since. On my 3rd Miata/MX5 (NBFL,NC1,NA8CE), this time a 1.8 Mk1 Eunos Roadster imported from Japan to the UK in 2008, I got it in 2017 after it'd been used a drift car for a couple years. Spent far too much sorting it out and getting it where I wanted, some mods include: clutch, coilovers, wheels, exhaust and a BP4W head swap. Had spent a year accumulating all the parts to install a hot side M62 Supercharger from a Mercedes, only to sell it a couple weeks ago to go Turbo instead.
Have since bought second hand, the majority of a Flyin Miata Turbo kit (not sure which), Garrett Gt2554R, RC SL8-550. Got a couple questions on what I'm missing, but have managed to find a lot through searching the forum already (Inconel studs, no gaskets).
Power wise looking for somewhere in the region of 200-220bhp. Have been to a couple local autocrosses/autosolos with the intention of trying a track day at my local circuit Knockhill, car's used as a daily driver.
When I got it then:
MX-5 NA Day 1 by Scott Reid, on Flickr
Now:
PSX_20200316_140432 by Scott Reid, on Flickr
I'll get a build thread sorted with details on the car/turbo kit/plans.
Thanks,
Scott
