Hello from Greece!
 

hey there everyone,
my name is Chris, I'm 22 and an architecture student from Greece, so i belong to the second category of the sticky posts :idea:
I drive a mostly stock N/A 2000 Miata. it has 153K kilometers (95K miles) on the clock and runs without problems.

Mods done so far:
- first thing i did was install a TR lane rollbar, along with a full sound/heat proof of the cabin
- changed the clutch and replaced it with an OEM speck replacement (dumb move, but at the time the idea was to keep the car stock... what a lie)
- swapped the stock Enkei rims for a set of BBS RZs'. 15 inch, dont really remember the ET etc. I know they were a mistake, as they're way heavier than the stock rims, but i liked them a lot the car was bone stock anyway so.... :D
- installed a set of Koni Srt-r shocks, paired with a set of H&R lowering springs
- installed an Emanage Blue, following my decision to turbo the car at some point
- installed a custom 63.5 inox exhaust for a better sounding Miata :greddy:
- installed a Torsen T2 4.1 LSD so that my little stock miata can drift a bit better :rofl:
- a lot of various cosmetic DIY work

Being a student living in a crisis-hit country, money is a big issue. I really want to boost my car correctly, and that's why i've been saving money and slowly gathering parts.

Boost stuff i've gathered:
- Emanage Blue with Boomslang harness (cheap and not alot of room to play with, i know, but i got it at a really good price)
- Green Supra Becks (i think the size is 305cc? not sure, correct me if I'm wrong)
- O2 clamp
- I.L. 50mm high performance radiator
- 250hp capable intercooler
- Some piping

I'd like to mention that i do most of the work on the car (including diff swap etc.) myself. I have some tools and I'm quite handy with them, just need to gain more experience working on the car. It's a GREAT car to work on by the way :D

And because :useless:, here are some pictures of my car, from the day of purchase until today;

So, here we are! Eager to learn and read all about the turbo Miata life, gathering parts and saving money :D

Be cheap all you want, don't get cheap on engine management, it might cost you an engine. Heck, You live where Reverant is based who builds megasquirts ecu's. So I would do that first as for power mods and enjoy support in your mother language.

^Yes, MS Labs is in Greece and is a vendor here.

Welcome to the forum.

Yeah, I've heard EMBs' are sort of notorious for deleting maps out of the blue sometimes, so i might opt for an ms2 if i have the budget.
Sorry for the late reply, I'm in the middle of my exams, so not alot of time to stay online :)
