Long time lurker from Delaware
Greetings miataturbo.net community and authors of my main reading material for the past year at least. I picked up my Na before I recieved my permit and used it to teach myself manual. Recently I have started to attend Autox in Southern New Jersy and have previously attended a Ford Driving Skills for Life event. A few months ago I was able to purchase a FM 2.5 suspension setup with 500 track miles on it for 700$ which replaced a raceland coilover setup with stance king club ricer alignment. And I purchased a wideband that I had installed a few weeks ago. Other than that I am completely stock for now, and feel like a deer in headlights more often than not because I cannot pinpoint what modification to do next.
Included is my favorite photo of the miata and a photo from my first AutoX.https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...4698152eb9.jpgAfter first wash + wax with NB SE Wheels that have been removed so I can sell them. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...6fceeae06e.jpgMy first AutoX event with SNJ SCCA. |
What plans do you have for this little lady?

Power: Your basic build of an Intercooled MKTurbo kit with oil lines, which will be controlled by pnp ms3 goodness. Before the boost I want to swap in a vvt motor so that I can become friends with MS3 and have the best low end available while progressing my skill with the power level bumps. Interior: I want to swap in an Nb1 interior with Nb2 door panels and add a easily removable amp + small subwoofer setup. Also want to think of a perfect resolve for mounting guages besides pillar mounting. I will also be adding an X-Brace roll bar with black 4-point anti submarine takata harnesses which be lay on top of some black Braum seats. Suspension is perfect for me since she also serves as my daily and I do not possess the skill to out drive the setup. I plan to buy some 15x7 or 7.5 wheels so that I can mount 200tw summer tires for autox next season. Those are the big plans for now with the usual stack of misc. modifications to be expected over time. |

My goal is to build what I view as the ultimate Miata that can do a little bit of everything reliably with the ability to at least somewhat adjust to each situation.

If you're on FB, you can also join the NJ and Philly Miata groups. A lot of people willing to help out and make fun of you at the same time.
