Default New decade who's this? I'm back with my garbage.

Hi.

It's been a long time coming, got my garbage '94 auto back from the guy I sold it to, got tired of seeing it rot. So back on with my old parts but with a updated and wiser spin on things.

Still have my stupid money pit mk3 supra and now I am about to go even deeper in financial ruin.

That said, forum usage is weird with how social media has evolved, this feels weirdly nostalgic.

May be an image of text that says 'Miata is of out almost ret retirement'

I do indeed feel like the ghost of some past, discovering all that has happened to itsince the car was out of my care.

So far just fixing what I used to have over a decade ago, after a new headgasket, seals and what not. Now with a new T28 and some old school ideas for turbo plumbing. For example, a 7MGTE oil cooler banjo was a perfect fit for the capped coolant passage at the back of the block next to the oil feed port.
Now its plumbed from there, through the turbo and straight to the water pump inlet neck. Allows for better circulation of coolant and better flow to through a hot turbo.

I should just restart a build tread.
