Hello from SW Florida

I am wanting to start piecing together a turbo setup that I've been looking forward to for a longgg time now, so I figured it's time I venture away from CR for awhile!
The car is a 91 and has been passed around in my family since my great-uncle purchased it new in 1990 with hardtop. It was an automatic until a few months after I got it, I put a 5 speed out of a 97. I just hit 150k miles yesterday on the original motor. It burns a little oil but otherwise seems fine. I have a Torsen2 diff from a 2001 with 75k~ miles of use. Momo Start seat, Momo 320mm wheel, and NRG QR. R-Package front/rear lips (not shown in picture) and cheap coilovers and cheap wheels. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327430214 Also, I'm in photography and making videos. If you're bored check out my Youtube and other links in my sig! |

I have been a bit spoiled by some of my friends' cars. Cars like a 610whp turbo Civic, 350whp NA-T MK4 Supra, about to be single'd R33 GTR, 98 240sx 2JZGTE 680whp+, Audi R8, 09 GTR, 500whp TT 350z, etc. I know the Miata won't compete much with them but I like the car for more than just that. It was the first car or thing I ever drove when I was 11 lol! I like drifting but I don't really want to do it much with my car. I would like to do a couple amateur track days at places like Sebring and PBIR here in Florida. I don't really find auto-x appealing. Other than that I would just like to have a fun street car, and something to tinker with on weekends. SO FAR I was thinking of building a setup using my old T28 from my 240sx's 98 SR20DET, or even a GT2871r that I was going to upgrade the car to.. I'm here to do research and figure out what will work best for what I want though. I haven't taken any recent pics since the lips, seat, steering wheel, etc. These are from various points last year: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327442902 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327442902 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327442902 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327442902 Past Vehicles: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327442902 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1327442902 |

Whatever lens or filters you used in this makes my hella flush sense start tingling. |
Welcome to the site. Are you in Sarasota? Some of those "friends cars" sound like the SRQ crew that have made it down to Fort Myers a few times.

I do accounting for dining services. It's usually parked in the garage behind the student union. I don't think I've seen your car either, not too many miatas on campus. Thanks for the compliments, don't steal my wheels :)

Ok great! Do you go to the Tuesday meets regularly? I've been thinking about going to one sometime.

Hi Kyle,
Nice to see you made it to the right place. If I ever get my car back on the road before you pull the trigger Ill take you for a ride. You should feel right at home in another white '91. LOL In case you haven't figured it out yet I'm the other Kyle that has a white Miata. You have no idea how many people say, "Hey I saw a car like yours with chrome rims!" |
