Good afternoon gentlemen,

My name is Michael I'm 27 and have owned a 1991 BRG Miata for around 5 years. I've been lurking around here for at least that long and have finally gotten off my *** and joined. I am a student and also maintain 2-3 jobs, depending on the time of year.

During high school and shortly afterwards I owned a fairly lightly modified first generation DSM. It seems they are quite popular around these parts. That being said, a friend owned an early 1.6 NA Miata that he put an almost as early BEGi kit on. If I remember correctly it had the stock TD05H-14B from a 1G DSM. Even with three people in the car, it was like a goddamn rocket powered go-kart. Therefore, when I had the opportunity to pick up a very low mileage Miata, I jumped.



Like I said earlier, I am a student and therefore perpetually broke, so please do not expect a fast-paced build thread. Goals for the car are modest, better suspension, stiffer chassis, decent stereo, 200-235 WHP and solid reliability. I will be posting the start of a build thread presently.

I live in Indianapolis, in the Broad Ripple neighborhood. It looks as if at least three other people live in Indianapolis, thenuge (Fountain Square), concealer404 (Greenwood) and a third member that I have forgotten. I would love to get together sometime for another ride in a turbo Miata.



Let us see here:

Proves decent mastery of the English language
Doesn't ask repetitive stupid questions
Owns digital camera and can take in focus pictures

Anything I have forgotten?

And of course in my smart *** first post, I fail to be able to properly insert an image...

It's good to see another Hoosier on board. You have some good people in your area.

18psi: My girlfriend has two 14 year old Persians.

ThePass: My girlfriend at the time, who was sitting on my lap in the passenger seat, still thinks that boner was her doing.

Monk: In retrospect, I think I may have used one of the pages that was open before I registered and logged in to write the post. N00b mistake, still unhappy about it.

Someone needs to introduce themselves as a noob and ask what eggplant means. Because I still don't know that reference.

Comes from "like talking to an eggplant". As in, dense as a rock; unable or unwilling to listen to constructive criticism.

Eggplant: edible vegetable. Purple in color. Occasionally used as a sex toy. And where did the question about an eggplant come from?

It's been an interesting week n00b-wise. Stick around for a while. You'll see.
Moving to your build thread now...

Welcome to the site Michael13, thanks for joining up!

Ah see... I knew I'd learn useful stuff here! (I dunno I thought an eggplant would be too squishy for much usefulness there!)
Ahoy from one n00b to another

Michael13

I think your eggplants may be overripe. Pick 'em earlier.

Thanks Brain.
