Heya guys,

Just purchased my second Miata and decided to register! I reside in the CLT area and would like to meet other enthusiasts.

I am looking specifically for turbo parts for my 95 1.8L, btw.

I am about to post up a Megasquirt 1 and lowering springs if anybody is in need!

I had an NA back in 2010, then sold it and got big into VW Vr6 turbos....total pain in the ***! And those mk4s handle like a school bus...

Anyway, glad to be back with the Miata guys. If your in my area, hit me up!

Speak to you soon!

Hi, welcome to MT. I'm somewhat local, near Winston-Salem. What type of turbo parts are you looking for?

Welcome to the forum.

Don't let Lars see your red seats or he will want them, haha.

Any plans to get a rollbar and track the car at some point?

Ohh red seats. What other LE bits you got in that interior?

I have turbo parts for sale for cheap. I will even hand deliver to Charlotte.

Yeah it's got some cool goodies...I'll post up some detailed pics later when I get a chance.

Is there an area dedicated to build threads?

Well I've got 480 injectors and a DIYPNP ecu I'll try to use. I want to fab my own downpipe/exhaust and intercooler piping if I can find SS piping bits at a local scrap yard. So in total I'll need:

Turbo & manifold
Oil lines
Intercooler
Maybe an FPR?
Clutch/LwFw

At the moment probably not, but it has always interested me!

If you can weld you should be building your own manifold. PRL Motorsports will sell you everything you need for a log manifold. Mandrel Bending Solutions can get you all the bends you need for cheap in alumanized steel.

Since Lars doesn’t want the seats, I’ll take them in the part-out. Will go perfect with our Montego Blue and be a heck of a lot more comfy than Bride’s.

Are speakers in that headrest effective or just a gimmick?
