Hi all,
I've been lurking around here for the past couple years, and finally felt its time to make my first post. I've had my '93 Miata for a little over 5 years now, and have spent a majority of the time since trying to fix it up from being a complete turd. I recently bought a '17 Civic Si, so I can finally starting tearing into the Miata a bit more without having to worry about having it running the next day. I started autocrossing it a couple years ago, and I'm excited to be able to throw on some stickier tires and add some boost now that its no longer my daily.

Here's a list of what I've done to the car so far:

• Hard dog roll bar (Not 100% on which model, pretty sure its the M1 Sport. Bought it off some guy selling it to buy his girl a wedding dress.)
• Powertrix coilovers
• 4.1 Torsen w/ poly bushings
• Yonaka exhaust
• M-tuned coolant reroute
• MS3x
• Toyota COPs
• GT500 injectors
• Totally sick hot air intake
• 15x7.5 Koenig Hypergrams
• A set of 205/50R15 Dunlop Direzza DZ102s that are on their last legs
• Hawk HPS pads
• Supermiata lightweight flywheel and clutch
• V8 roadsters frame rails
• NB steering wheel

I think that's pretty much it... might be missing some stuff its hard to remember everything. Overall I've really enjoyed all of the little projects, I think at this point I've had almost every part out of the car or replaced. Going forward some of the stuff I want to do with the car is:

• Number 1 priority right now is get the tune dialed in better. I've been playing around with it for a couple months now and it's starting to come togehter.
• Upgrade the brakes. I'm not really happy with the Hawk pads I have on it now, and want to go to a bigger brake. Plan is to put in some 1.8 brakes in the rear and Wilwoods in the front.
• Get some new tires. I recently checked my tires and realized I am down to the wear bars on the rears, so currently deciding which set of tires I wanna move up to. Looking for something in the 200tw range that'd be good for autocross/track days.
• Boost! I'm trying to piece together what parts I can find used, so that when everything else is take care of I can start working on making some power
• And finally getting out and driving the car more! I recently moved from Orlando, FL to Austin, TX and I'm still trying to figure out what autocross events they have out here. Eventually I wanna try out some HDPE events at one of the tracks around here.

And that's pretty much it. Thanks for reading, it's nice to meet everyone!

Here's a few pics of the car:
