Hey everyone!

Im Jarred and I’ve been lurking around for a bit just trying to prove how little I know, but I really want to learn more!

I bought my first miata back in August and I’ve been itching to learn more and how to put some power to it! Its an 01 Miata LS with 108k miles. Got it for $5200 and I absolutely love it. My plans are to put a good amount of power to it over time and I have goals of making it a competent track car. So far I’ve put some cheaper TEIN street coilovers on it, got some new wheels that need powder coated, and done some minor fender rolling to make everything fit. It’s still rubbing though until I can get my hands on a fender roller 😭...

I’m looking to turbo it (hopefully come spring time). I’m looking into getting a MS and some injectors installed soon as prep, but I’m not quite ready for a big job like a turbo quite yet. Need some more info first. I also have my AEM intake to install sometime this week! Eventually I want wide-body it and get a fastback hardtop, but that’s got some time first. I have to make it fast before it can look fast haha

Im in the Orlando area for now and would love to get around some more experienced Miata enthusiasts
if I can. Maybe even help out a bit.

Ive got good mechanical skills, but I’m still fairly new to the car world so any help and advice is appreciated and heeded. I know this was a bit all over the place so if I missed anything or if anyone has any questions just let me know! I’m eager to get more involved.
