in june a semi trailer hit it a little. that sucks so i decided to pick up a nice beater to keep the.. beating... off the sti. that got me a 94 miata c-package with hardtop:

long story instead of fixing the exhaust, and since its getting a tuneup anyway, i decided to fuck it and boost the little one.

currently in the process of buying kit with gt2560, ms/lc1, ic, injectors, blahblah i'll post up when its all in hand and ready to go. or blow.

A fan of the custom plates, huhh

TurboTim 08-26-2009 12:37 PM

Yahh nice plate. Bestest of luck with the build!

saint_foo 08-26-2009 12:53 PM

Welcome!

Just curious...how many of us on here have a Miata and a Subaru? Or recently owned a Subaru...:laugh:

BTW, which kit are you going with....one of TurboTim's? I'll be in NJ picking mine up when it's ready. He built mine with an Absurdflow kit w/ a GT2560R.

Have fun!

Paul has a Miata and a Subaru. Tim has a Miata and a Subaru.

And I think the plan is to work on your car on Sunday. ;)

I sure as hell hope so. I want to get all of Ed's extra parts out of my garage (i.e. old exhaust stuff)

do a lot want

do also want to stay in budget :violin:

Sam Amporful 08-27-2009 09:51 AM

I'll be selling my previous turbo setup for $850 minus the Intercooler. Sr20 garrett turbo, downpipe w/ straightpipe welded to it, emanage w/ tune on it and both harnesses, manifold, 330cc injectors, and vortech 12:1 AFPR. All you'd need is an I/C setup, which isnt hard, and you'd be set for over double your horsepower now

I have a 95 SVX 5MT and my Miata. :D

Love them both. The miata needs to be faster than the SVX again.

Saml01 08-27-2009 11:08 AM

Those mudflaps on the subaru are gaudy as hell.

disturbedfan121 08-27-2009 12:56 PM

is so wtf! its not north nj i'm 30 miles from everything

Sam Amporful 08-27-2009 04:59 PM

oh I just saw you had the 1.8. If you were to buy the exact same manifold for your 1.8 that I have for the 1.6 then it should be a direct drop in. I'll linf you to one if you want. Of course you may have to retune the emanage but I doubt much change will be needed. i'll let it go for $775 now since you wont be needing the manifold. Rebuild the turbo too. The shaft play is minimal but its only $80 to get it rebuilt so you might as well do it. Just let me know.

Hi newb, don't mind all these Jersey geography arguments, it's just a long-standing inside joke among we NJ Miata people.

I grew up in Edison, obviously north of "the bridge" and know full well that northern Middlesex and event parts of Union county are CENTRAL JERSEY!!!!!

Wronng as usual EK lol

evank 08-29-2009 12:29 PM

Hmmm .... I was going to use the NJ high school sports comparison .... so I looked at the conference breakdown at njsiaa.org ....

When I graduated from Edison HS in '92 (north of the river), our category for all sports was Central Jersey Group IV. We always competed against schools like Piscataway, Madison Central (now Old Bridge), Sayreville, JP Stevens, Woodbridge, East Brunswick, St. Joe's, etc. .... but ...... just now when I looked at the site, apparently things changed! When the fuck did that happen??? My alma matter is now listed at North Jersey Section II Group IV ..... funny because I don't remember the town moving anywhere. Oh well.

disturbedfan121 08-29-2009 09:52 PM

lol point proven!

Sam Amporful 08-30-2009 12:36 PM

im getting ready to sell my setup soon graphite. Are you still interested in any of the parts before I let it go?

mad doc 09-03-2009 10:30 PM
