Hi, I'm Doug,

This is my introduction!

I live in the UK where we call Miatas by their correct name, MX5.

I run a small company providing parts to the UK MX5 market but thats not why i'm here. Miataturbo.net seems to lots of fun!

I'm currently building a NA turbo eunos. It was a 1600 BRG VR Limited but i have since swapped in an 1800 NB engine that i have fitted some rods to. The aim is a reasonable 300 bhp.

I do quite fancy building a turbo NC for a bit of transcontinental touring next summer.

 

Doing the Dakar Rally in an NC?

 

Nope, just down to the French / Italian Alps and then back up through Austria and Germany.

I'm building an ally frame for a down hill mountain bike which I will break down and pack in the boot / trunk or make a boot rack for.

 

Sounds like a good trip for an MX5. I've not been to the French Alps, just from Switzerland eastward. The Swiss aren't fans of free driving - lots of cameras. The Italians seem much more laissez-faire.

 

Hello. I recognize you from the MX5 turbo groups on facebook and have been on your website a few times.
