Hey names jovany, came over from cr.net to check this site out. Overall I like it very helpful DIY section.

Anywho u drive a 91' 1.6l white with black interior. Got it in sept of 2010 completely stock in need of some tlc. Im a broke college student so progress is slow but here is what's done.

Spent most of the first year repairing:
Fm timing kit, & painted the VC, NGK plugs and wires.
New MS motor mounts
New powertrain because I found crack in the original.
New upper, lower and leather shifter boots.
New bushings all around the chassis.
Rebuilt brake calipers all around.
New pads & rotors
New master and slave clutch cylinders

Mods so far:
Touge run airdam
Kosei k1's 15x7 +38
Toyo Proxes R888's
Raceland header
Custom test pipe
Cheap eBay exhaust
Hard dog m1 DD roll bar
Megan springs (saving up for coilovers)
Tow hooks
Momo classic steering wheel & hub.

So this is how the car currently sits:

Plans include:
Some decent coilovers
1.8 swap & a supercharger
Torsen diff

Shooting to make a reliable driver with around 150+ horsepower.

So far I have taken the car to a few track events here at sandia speedway and a few autocross events around Abq. I love this car and it is a blast to drive!

Hey there fellow NM resident, welcome to MT.net. It's the best miata forum there is, so you've come to the right place.

I live up here in Taos, hit me up if your in the area and we can drive some canyons!

Sweet man. Those snow pics are actually on the low road up to taos. Went up for my 1 year with my fiancé. I'll definitely hit u up before I leave this summer.

Nice car and nice wheels! (I have the same) I'll be up in Albq a few times this year to run at Sandia. You should come by and take your car on the track!
