Default New Guy! 1st Miata

New to Miata. I'm a car guy (as you can probably see), but most are V8 powered. I happened across this little car by a friend. 68k miles 95 model. I've sunk a lot of $$ into it over the past few months; changing timing belt, water pump, etc. Also, New wheels and tires, new koni adjustables, and Racing beat springs. I've always wanted a turbo car, and this seems like the perfect project for one. Problem is, I've never been around them. I've been watching many YouTube videos (donut media, car passion, etc(, as well as doing research. I really would like your ideas! Good to meet you all!

Welcome, nice looking car and shop as well. Where are you located?

Nice that you got a 95 for a turbo project because of the block, makes things a little neater for your oil lines. I haven't watched all the donut videos yet but judging by some of them they didn't do their research. Car passion tends to be good, but always do your own research.

What size wheels / tires did you end up going with? I've got 15x8 S1's myself.

Good luck on your build

Good to meet you! I live in East Tennessee; about 15 miles from the dragon....although I rarely ever go. As for my wheels and tires, S1's in 15x8 with 205's.
