Hi everybody! My name's Leo and I guess like to 
on cars
Few months ago I purchased a stock 1995 Miata with 209k miles as my little project car, with the intent of not leaving it that way...
My initial goal was to eventually do an LS swap, but after I saw the amount of work involved I decided that I will try the turbo route first, probably some time next year. For now I'm using the Miata to learn and to teach my girlfriend how to drive manual
Modding cars is a hobby for me and all I know comes from forums or YouTube. Actually TheCarPassionChannel got me here
Without further due, here's my ride:

Welcome to the forum. The car passion channel isn't always showing the preferred methods, fwiw.
Where are you located? We have a big group of members in northern California.
Are you planning on doing track days?

I'm located in the Bay Area and I'd love to know who's around here and discuss about Miatas (and turbos!).
I am definitely planning some track days as that's the main reason why I got this car... I had done a couple of track days in my GT4, but after a video that went viral about a guy smashing a similar car at the track, I decided to get experienced in something cheaper.
Right now I'm focusing on get the car in a state that I can push it without the feeling that the wheels might pop off or the engine blows up. I've been lurking around the "other" Miata forum so far, but I hope I can find some good info here too, especially around handling.

I really like the color of your valve cover btw.
