Default Scrub from SD. That's South Dakota you *****.

So I wanted a fast car without a monthly payment. After some searching I realized that RWD and a top that goes down is win. For cheap I received a rust free 97 base model with 125k, a flaking clear coat, and a serious methanol habit after an alleged HG and head machining. Found massive gouges and .002+ warpage on the head. I'll be following the typical forum recommended route and going MS3 (built per The Brain's instruction) WBO2, injectors, etc. Everything relevant to what I intend to do has been covered extensively and I don't intend to break any new ground with this car.


I just wanted to say Hi, and share a random internet Kitteh cause threads without pics are bull**** and my miata isn't pretty.

Welcome to the forum.

I'm trying to remember if we have any other members in SD.

Thanks for the welcome. Less than a million people in the state. Probably not to many on this forum.

I got my head back from the machine shop today and put about 30 trouble free miles on. Looks like it's about time to order an ECU.

I grew up in Spearfish, went to high school in Pierre and college/medical school in Vermillion.
My family still lives in Sioux Falls. I love the Black Hills, rest of the state meh.
Welcome to the board!

Yep. The Black Hills really are the only interesting part. It's why I moved to Rapid City. My GF went to USD,

Thanks for the welcome.
