Hello all, ive gone as long as I can staying off the forums, mostly because I hate the fact that most forums require the mundane 5-10 post minmum before I can sell something, and the constant predicament I find myself in the most is wanting to sell something on the forums. So heres my back story ladies and gents. I have been into cars since I was a child playing with the hot wheels my grandmother gave me. Grew up with paul walker and the fast and the furious showing me everything not to do to a car, just took me like 10 years to realize you don't do any of those horrific mods to your cars. Originally I was a euro guy. Started out with a b4 1999 audi a5 1.8t and thought I was the coolest thing in the world at 18 until I got gapped by a flatback civic on cut springs and blown shocks. No I didn't go out and buy a honda, in fact I still have never owned a honda. then I bought this awesome 1.8t swapped mk3 jetta that ran just a tad bit better than the audi, but had more problems from a janky swap job. through out the years I went back and forth from jdm back to euro but the highlights include an 84 951/944 turbo, a 400whp Silvia front end 89 240sx, a 99 e36 m3, and a 996 911 that was straight piped and vicious. Well after I sold the Porsche I tried to be an adult and got a prius, that lasted 4 months of road rage and loss of manhood until I bought a 2015 fiesta st, after being hit 3 times within 2 months of moving to Austin texas and of course the shitty fwd I decided to get into another miata. When I say another its because while owning my Porsche I convinced my now fiancé that she needed a fun car that was manual, rwd, and convertible. So she (we) but really she got a 97 montego blue mica that treated her well for a summer. We ended up selling in the fall and moved to Austin shortly after. Now what actually got me into miatas was my buddy dave back in ny. He had a spec red 1.6 with the rolldog and hardtop and spec suspension and of course used to clown corvettes on a local mountain road because when they hit the down hill and everyone else was braking he was pedal to the floor soaring through the apex's. My 944 did okay keeping up with him using the 50:50 weight ratio but still wasn't a miata. Now lets fast forward back to Austin. I sold the fiesta to a dealership and was on the hunt for a miata. I just didn't want to have a boring na. I saved a 92 sby turbo from a kid in kileen texas who had bought it from a soldier at ft hood. 10 minutes away from meeting him and about na hour into my trip he told me to turn around because the car was leaking fuel. Being the sturbborn person I am I decided to go ahead and show up anyway and after about 2 and a half hours I fixed the leak, hit about 120 on the way home and was very impressed by the power but was disappointed by the lack of stiffness in the shitty coilovers and of course the shitty paint. I made it all the way home and got to enjoy the car for about 2 weeks and realized it was more than I wanted to take on so I sold it. Il lbe honest there wasn't any thing left to save. it was a drift missile. And after months of searching I found the perfect miata, bought a one way flight to san diego, picked up the car and made a b line back to Austin. About 25 minutes outside of Yuma Arizona at 2am on a Saturday I ran into some issues. what I thought was an overheating fuel pump and a blown differential forced my to have the car towed to the local uhaul rental and with no chance of a trailer until Monday my flad bed driver lowered my miata into the bed of one of their 15 foot box trucks and I got on my way. After I got home I learned that the cat delete and my 3 of my drive shaft bolts had left me back in cali. Got those fixed and continued to mod the car and adjust it the way I want and here I am with my 300whp e85 1.6t 16lbs of boost corvette, Camaro and s2000 killer. I also currently own a 94m in montego blue that Im in the process of saving slowly, had a healthy motor but the exterior is in need of some help. and my fiancé has a 92 red miata on enkie rpf1's a Jackson racing intake and a racing beat roll bar. Heres some pictures of them. I will eventually do a Mod list of the silver one but long story short its got an actual wide body, built motor from the bottom end up, mspnp2, gracing shifter, and the fm turbo kit and exhaust with a garret 2560r
