Salutations, I just picked up a white '91 5 spd turbo for cheap. Seems to run ok but needs some TLC. This will be my new project car. Pics after I take a few. I work for a small airline and am in Key West FL right now. I have a deep love for RX7s, and my DD is an 06 Toyota X-Runner (na). So hi!

 

Hello and welcome. Let's see some of those pics and also post vehicular details.

I definitely recommend thoroughly mapping out your intent with the car before diving in the deep end and you accidentally end up over spending. I saw that because it's very easy to do. As with me, having a 1.6 and 5-speed means you have to retain modest torque goals unless you plan on drop cubic dollars.

Good luck!

Welcome to the forum. Post some pictures!

 

Here it is. Pics from when I bought her, then took her home. So far I've made a list of everything I could find that needs fixing, a list of mods I'd like to do after that, but! a big thing is going to be figuring out what has already been done to it. First thing is to replace the gasket in between the turbo and exhaust manifold...but I broke a bolt off trying to get it off hahaha.

 

I started a build thread/journal: https://www.miataturbo.net/general-m...d-i-buy-82138/

Thanks all!
