I know i know , should have got a stick. Anyway i'm you're typical 19 year old car loving girl, i'm always looking for a new way to make her better .

So any advice is appreciated!

This thread needs more pics! Welcome to the forums.

Put the city or at least the region of Texas in your 'location', and post a photo of your Miata.

Welcome to the forum, good to have another Texan. :wavey:

i'm from houston too ! :)
i put a picture of her in my album, still trying to figure out the site.

Needs moar rollbar.

yeah, i need a rollbar and new top. New suspension. Want to turbo her , shes gotta have speed behind the cuteness ;).

slowly everything is getting done pink. I did my calipers hotpink and my valve cover.

Welcome to the board. Please turbo.

Thanks.

Get stock tail lights, or some pink ones

put a 5 speed in it! or a 6 speed!

Suspension is my next step, then turbo. My friend said he could do a 5 speed
Swap easily for me.

And they make pink lights? Lol
I know mine came with the car when I bought it.
Look pretty ricy right now.

Ditch the lights!

If you wanted pink taillights you could get the simpson design lights and paint them pink (like they've painted these ones grey)

Ok everyone. Christina is a girl's name. As in female. Feminine participation here should be encouraged. Don't be stupid and wreck it for everyone, big daddy will come to your place and bust a boot in your ass if you do.

Hi, xtina. Tell us the year of your ride or put it in your sig. I'm sure you'll get all the help you need here, don't be discouraged if it doesn't happen quickly. Post more pics (of car, of car). You'll get a pass on rice, don't even apologize for it.

Pics or ban.

Aw thankkss <3 I was feeling a bit eh iffy about posting after comments like that. & Yeah everything takes time, i'm here to learn not get handouts. I'd rather learn to work on my car then get a man to do it ;)

Welcome, another Texan the fold. I tell you, we are taking over this place.

Of course this means another Texan will need to be banned soon. Thar jest ain't enuf rewm in heeere fer tewe many of us.

:) i'm a girl, so i think that excludes me. ha.
I do wish there was more girls here , so i'd have someone
to talk too.

Contrary to popular belief, doods talk, too.

Welcome!

GET IN LINE!
Lol

:D well it's hard to find ones that aren't dicks just because one doesn't know as much. But you're proving to not fall into the category <3

;] thanks for all the welcomes

welcome! I would just drop in 6 speeds if you going to do a manual transmission conversion since you looking to turbo your miata later

+1 on the 6 speed

EDIT* wait its a 1.6! put a 1.8 in there too.

:d

I mean so far we have told her to replace everything except for the shell.

This thread right here is a proof that guys who drive miata's aren't gay as hell. It's like the fastest growing meet & greet post I've ever seen :p

On something a little bit more constructive, I noticed your signature says Greddy kit. I would really consider getting something other then the greddy kit. I used to work at a car performance shop and sold a friend of mine a new Greddy kit for his 92 miata. It's been 2 years now and the thing runs great, but he's put over $4000 in upgrades to get it making decent power. No matter what your gender, boost & power is addicting, and once you've tasted 4.5psi, you're really going to want 12psi. I would really suggest getting a kit like the voodoo 1 from flyin miata. Sure it's $3000, but it's such a better starting point.

You said it. I had like one person say hi to me :facepalm:

BTW: Hi :-)

Welcome.

I'm going to tell your wife

Good thing I erased what I'd originally typed out...decided short and simple was probably best.

I think she's Hispanic too, I've got a soft spot por las mamacitas.

EDIT: And what the hell??? You don't throw 'bows in a footrace...

that made me giggle :) cause its true.

:) hispanic yes, yall are to funny. I'm constantly bored at work and all you guys keep me laughing.

& about the voodoo kit, i've looked at them and the price scares me a bit. sometimes i wonder if turbo'ing a automatic is worth it? I get so many opinions about it..

If you have not already check out Begi and see the setups they offer. They are another alternative. Also I believe Pen2_the_penguin car is auto and it is running some boost. He should be able to answer any questions you have about using an AUTO.

Thanks :] ill pm him.

Do the 5 spd swap first, then EMS like megasquirt, and then Turbo. And make sure you go with the 1.8 drive train for some boosted fun.

As for the turbo part, It seems like a DIY setup would be in your budget. I've got an oem 1.6 turbo manifold(too bad I have a 1.8) that could really start off a project like yours. Or break it down like this:

ebay turbo(w/ internal wastegate)
turbo manifold(custom)
downpipe
cat back exhaust

Ebay intercooler
pipes, couplers, clamps
bov

EMS
Wideband o2
injectors


I've already put together my own list of parts to turbo my miata and my total price is going to be around $1500 for a solid 200-250hp goal.

Do a 6 speed, my 5 speed is failsause on 7psi.

+1

:] would it be easier for me to buy a miata that's already manuel?

^Yes. Honestly I think that is your best option. Manual is a must. Doooooo it.

:) i think nothing is sexier then i girl who knows how to drive stick, my miata is white with pink stuff all over. Valve cover, calipers, and basically the whole inside. So i want the exact same thing but i'd love to have a black miata with a hardtop , boosted , and just crazy fast.

Can you PM yet? If so, why haven't I got your digits.


Cerially, my BEGi turbo kit is ready to throw your way. I forgot to let you know last week when my plans changed. I parked the car Friday and started ripping parts off. Let me know if you want it, it's in my FS thread. Locals, especially chicks, get a discount since packing and shipping would be a mother.

Because you are married.

Oh.

Yeah.

Damnit.

Silly boys

:giggle: This thread.

Welcome. Good to see a female member, especially considering you are still here and haven't run away yet. I guess that is a good sign we aren't foul enough! ;)

PS, I'd rock a pink Miata myself. Match my purse.

23/M/tx

no but seriously... get a manual miata, it is a lot of time and money to convert one. just transfer over your stuff.

Yeah, I'll sell you mine for $3800. Give the paint another year, it'll be completely pink by then. :laugh:

holyshit good times maybe you can clean up this place...










ok i doubt it but it is a nice thought welcom and gl dealing with all these egos

And your grammar :makeout:

dont you have a bowel movement to over analyze?

:laugh: Sure do, somewhere.

Ok, so OP, are you a throll?? Everyone is thinking it, Im just saying it.

It this is a troll, it is one of epic proportions. I'm pretty sure there is one solution to all this... pics of OP holding a piece of paper with MT.net written on it.

:giggle:

We are guys, we have to know!

El oh fuckin' el at gospeed81

knock on wood so he doesnt become the next guy caught by the wife in the forumz, like the azine guy :giggle:

I wouldn't doubt it, Damon always posts the wackiest threads. read "I want a divorce" and "I have E.D." for a good time.
