Hi all,

Living in Japan and I took the opportunity to buy again a miata (Eunos roadster here). This time went from a NB8C back in Europe(Belgium) to NA8C. Yes just for the pop-up headlights

Was lucky to find a car who stayed always in a garage with around 130000km (81000miles). Did over 15000km with it already this summer and started preparing it for my first Turbo build.

The goal of the car is mountain rides and a few track events on the weekend.

So far concentrated mainly on safety I've done:
  • New disk rotors and brake pads.
  • Steal brake lines.
  • Rollbar (just arrived and installing it this week)
  • New Rims 15" Eiken RP1 and Wheels Toyo
  • Bride Seat and 4 point harness.

Still incoming this year:
  • Megasquirt MS3PNP
  • AEM wideband

Next year:
  • Suspension, bushings
  • Clutch
  • Turbo (never installed one)
Looking forwards to read you on the forums !!

Welcome to the forum. Do you have any pictures of your car? Do you hang out with other car guys over there?

I didn't hang out with move people as I wanted first to improve a little the safety on the car. Knowing myself on the day after joining on the groups in the mountain I will have been on a circuit without new brakes or a proper rollbar
Hopefully will start all of this by end of this month.

Here a typical picture of the beast with the Mt Fuji
