Hello! Fairly new to the forums, been lurking and leaching off as much knowledge as possible! Some of you probably already read some of my issues I've had with this car.

Car is a 1996 M Edition Miata 1.9L EFR 6258 @ 17~PSI. Located in Hawaii - Kauai

Been wanting to make this post for awhile, but only when the car was running without (major) issues! Bought this car completely bone stock, and now she's a 300hp rocket ship.

I know for some of you, building an engine is probably a norm. But for me, Its been a long stressful build, as I had virtually no knowledge of cars, or even how an engine worked. Now her heart is completely rebuilt. Forged pistons, rods, bored to 1.9l. rebuilt head. Everything done on this car was (mostly) done by me. A lot of long nights of researching went into this car. But I can now share my creation with you all!
Please ignore the messy engine bay, will clean it up once I've enjoyed the Miata enough to start working on it again :).

Love it! Nice work, looks super clean. Are you still running the 5 speed at 300hp?

Yes sir, but its not a stock 5 speed.

Its rebuilt by jomotors. So far it been taking a beating and it shifts like butter still.
