Default My First Miata

I've lurked around here a little as I was planning my purchase and figure I should join. I was interested in a project and wanted to do something different from what I have done before and decided a Miata would fit the bill. My favorite Miata is the NC so thats what I got. Very clean, low mileage, garage kept 2009 GT in the rare competition yellow. My plan is to install a GM 3.6 V-6 and 6 speed trans over the winter. Oh yeah, it currently has a Dynotronics turbo kit on it and I will be going back to NA with the V-6.

I've had a wide variety of cars over the years. Currently in my garage:

2009 Miata 6-speed (Yellow)
2021 GTI 6-speed (Cornflower Blue)
2017 Corvette Z06 7-speed (Long Beach Red)
1968 Chevelle SS Superchared LS 6-speed (Yellow)
2017 Frontier 4x4 (snow and Home Depot car)

A comp yellow NC with an LFX swap sounds delicious.

Engine. Like brand new with 11 miles. This is from a front drive application so I also purchased a parts engine from a Camaro to get the RWD intake and other assorted parts.
