New kid from Utah.
 

Hey, my name is Marcus. I'm 22yo, and I live in the Ogden area of northern Utah. I have recently bought my second Miata. It's a 1994 laguna blue "A" package with about 141k on it. I have done all the maintainence on it, as well as a head gasket change. Don't have any pictures of it quite yet though.

My Goals for my car is to have a pretty well sorted out suspension, and brakes. As well as having some get up and go to go along with it. My hp goal is to have a reliable 250whp, but also turn up the boost for a little bit if I want to. I am probably going to do a motor rebuild in the spring with the help of a mechanic buddy of mine. I have started compiling parts for my suspension. I am excited to put them on soon, so I can enjoy my car for the rest of the summer hopefully.

I have been lurking around here, and over on M.net for quite a while. I have Learned a lot from both places. Although over here, it seems like this is more of a younger, performance oriented group. So I think I'll stick over here for the most part.

There my de-nooberization is compleat!!! :bigtu:

Hi utxrs, enjoy your stay :)

Welcome!
My boyfriend lived on Hill AFB, so not too far from you. I liked Utah a lot when I went out there a couple years ago.

And you'll like this place way better than M.net.

It's a pain in the ass to drive around here some times because of the base lol. I'm looking forward to learning from you guys.

Hey I'm looking at buying a miata when I get back from vacation I live in West Jordan!

Dang dude, 250 whp? Does anyone know an idea of the 0-60 for that kind of power? I mean, Miatas weigh nothing stock don't they? (KEEP IN MIND, IS NOOB THREAD< REMEMBER!)

I would like to get a ride in a turbo'd Miata around that power range. Just so I would know what its like. I hope it's scary.

Go talk to Larry at Carpenter Motorsports in Ogden. He will either get you a ride in a miata in that power range, or refer you to someone who can give you a ride. He also has any spare part imaginable if you break something.

I did some business with his company, and got screwed over. It goes without saying, I don't go there anymore. It sucks because I literally work down the street from them.

yo, is it true all the alcohol in Utah is watered down?

Ya we get piss beer here, can't buy liquor after 11pm, etc. It blows, but nothin a run to Idaho or wyoming can't fix. :D

Edit: the alcohol from the liquor stores isn't watered down though.

sux bro

To make it clear Utah fucks up their beer 3.5% but liquor is left alone I am getting my fill of beer in canada this week ;).

yo, that's cool that you have to travel to Canada to get some beers but all I have to do is walk to my kitchen.

Yo, I heard you like beer, so we put beer in your beer so you can drink beer while drinking beer.
