Hi from Miatafied in Oregon
Hi All! This forum has been a great resource for me for years, but I've never posted. I've had my '94 Miata since 2014, and for the past few years I've been documenting projects on a blog: www.miatafied.com
I've done many of the"standard" Miata projects like a coolant reroute, hard dog roll bar, Megasquirt, frame rail reinforcements, and suspension upgrades.
My Miata also has some unique mods, like 3D-printed wheel center caps, a dome light from a 1996 Miata, and air conditioning from an NB.

Welcome, I’ve tuned two red NAs at work recently, both with white number circles on them, and I don’t think this is one of them. Popular choice apparently! Car looks great, let me know when you’re ready to dyno!

When I bought it it was my only car, so it did a few years as a daily commuter. In 2015 I moved to Colorado with a set of winter tires and kept driving it year round. When I got a WFH job and a house with a garage I started avoiding driving it in snowy winter weather. Now I'm back in Oregon and drive it most of the time. My wife drives a 2005 Mini Cooper S, so we have two incredible practical cars 😂. One of the reasons I want to turbo the Miata is how quick her supercharged Mini is!
I used to take the Miata to Cars and Coffee in Lafayette, Colorado almost every Saturday during the summer, I've heard there's one in Sherwood, Oregon, but I haven't been yet.
Would love to try autocross some time too!

Martin is actually the person who convinced me to start looking for a Miata way back in 2012. We worked together at Home Depot for a summer and he dated the girl who lived across the street from me. I remember thinking his red NA in the parking lot with the interior ripped out of it was a death trap 😂

Amanda? That bitch came to my wedding, good riddance.
Yes, I work at AR with Martin.
It was a death trap. Gotta start somewhere though. Currently it's fully caged and sitting in a garage somewhere locally, bought to be built into a rally car, don't think it's happened yet though.
