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
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....
- 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
- installed a Torsen T2 4.1 LSD so that my little stock miata can drift a bit better
- 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
And because , here are some pictures of my car, from the day of purchase until today;
First days of ownership

Emanage Blue install and programming

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