Lurker from Canada
 

Hello all, I've been reading the forums here for about 4 years and decided it was time to make an introductory post.

My name is James and I'm from Ontario Canada, in around Guelph. I first got an 01 Miata in 2016 that was a pile of rusty garbage but it was a fun car and did ok on track. I wanted to modify it but didn't want to sink money into a car with rust holes in the frame large enough to fit a hand in.
Sold it and found a mint 03 (yes I know the TF diff is worse but it's very difficult to find good NB2s up here.) 6 speed sport package with less than 50,000 miles that had never been winter driven and had been krowned every year.

Soon enough it had a set of Xida XLs, ELBJs, CSF rad, and 15x9 6uls. Apart from the previous owners K&N intake and axle back exhaust the engine is stock. After about half a dozen track days the car is fun but definitely needs more power.


The goal of the car is to be a nice weather daily driver while also being dead reliable on track. I don't mind working on it but with work and offroad motorcycle racing I don't want to have to chase down problems with it. Just bolt on some power and go

That brings us to the great sacrilege, I want a rotrex. The potential of a weekend install and cooler track runnings is very appealing. The other option would be the trackspeed setup but it's not a full kit yet. The TDR kit with the 94 unit and an MS3 is the current path.

Doesn't look like a rusty pile of garbage. Welcome to the site.

4 years of reading is dang good. Should be able to build it up nicely with your eyes closed.

Thank you.
The previous one was blue was all rust, doesn't look so bad until you get underneath.

I sure hope so. Ontario just recently removed the etest requirement so I don't need to worry about obd2 testing anymore.
