Hi my name is Luis. I just got my miata. Im normally a honda guy. ive had a 99 si, 98 sohc, a pre boosted 94 hatch, and a b18c swapped crx. oh and a pathfinder with the 3.5 and sittin on 20's. anyway i got my miata and noticed how much better it handles so im gonna roll with it. i have a turbo kit on its way...16g from godspeed. but so far i have 15 inch drag wheels and a roll bar.

Welcome to the forum good luck with your build. Honda's are fun as well, I have a 91 civic hatch with a stroked high compression single cam Vtec it is an awesome daily. Then I drive my miata and remember why I fell in love with it to begin with.

Welcome. Your turbo kit most likely does NOT include everything required to run it properly. Make sure to show us everything so we can help you acquire what you need.

why do the rear brakes sound like metal on metal on the rear of my 98 DX? they've done this since right after I replaced the drums and shoes.

Thanks for the welcome. yea hondas are fun i like 8k rpms lol.
yea its not complete but its a start. i do need help on a few things though. im a suspension guy...and also good with electrical. trying to learn everything i can.

and with the drum brakes...first make sure that the backing plate has a gap between it and the drum. and idk how bad it is but u may want to take the drum off and make sure everything is in the right spot
