New to the Miata world from Houston, TX
Well Evenin boys and girls
My name is Andrew, I reside outside (but work in) Houston, TX
I am 100% new to the miata world.
I have had previous experience in Nissan and Honda and now its time to venture off into a new place where I'd like to stay for quite a while to become much more educated than I am now.
The Car:
I picked up a 94 Miata M Edition 1.8L, Montego Blue with the Nardi wood grain shift **** and e-brake handle, aluminum sill plates, Torsen LSD and all the other M edition features...
With a clean title
For $400
The catch was...the genius before me welded the timing belt cog onto the crankshaft. (I have a thread of this on the MX-5 Miata World forum).
So it was decided to begin a project/build.
I have one thread on here discussing "Whats your forged internal choice"
and so far I have to say this is beginning to look like home.

Tales do exist of failure at the interface between the crankshaft nose and the cambelt pulley, usually as a result of improperly torquing the bolt which hold it all together, and mostly on the '90-'91 engines. Some folks have used a loctite "liquid metal" product (sort of like JB-weld) to "fix" this, but this the first time I have ever seen anyone actually weld the two parts together.
At any rate, welcome aboard.
