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!!!

 

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 *** 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 **** beer here, can't buy liquor after 11pm, etc. It blows, but nothin a run to Idaho or wyoming can't fix.

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

 

sux bro

 

To make it clear Utah ***** 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.
