Hey guys,
I've been fooling around with imports for the last 10 years or so, and I've dabbled a bit with turbos but have never built a turbo setup myself. I bought a wrecked '02 SE a couple months ago as a turbo project, which is what led me here! My ultimate goal for the project is a super drivable 250whp street machine, mostly stock in appearance, running on e85. A shortlist of my past projects: '85 and '86 MR2s, including a built high compression engine and NOS '01 and '04 Jetta TDIs running on veg oil with some tuning '87 Suzuki forsa ex track car sleeper, 3 cylinder engine bored out to 1L, 22psi turbo on race gas - 200whp, fully welded cage, 600kg total weight (wet)... not terribly reliable '06 Miata, bought new and kept basically stock Plus a few others here and there Current DD is a Chevy Volt Build thread coming soon to a forum near you! Plus if y'all do meetups in the bay area, I'm in. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1417708562 |

Edit: In case you want to know what I'm talking about, find my build thread here: https://www.miataturbo.net/build-thr...tas-ass-77788/ Be warned it's a bit long. ALSO... I have a titanium-colored passenger rear quarter panel sitting in my garage that I'd LOVE to sell. |
Salvage miatas make the best miatas.

Totally. m.net had a different reaction, but spending $2500+elbo grease and $5k in parts > spending $7500 on a good condition '02. Plus it's fun!

Welcome to the forum. That car was far too nice to be totalled. Insurance companies are a waste on ten year old or older cars. |

hahaha it's what happens when a car blue books for 5 grand yet totals over 10 grand when you add up the parts using dealership prices
fun fact: take an 01 SE with the woodgrain nardi interior, remove the steering wheel, shift knob, and seats, and the car is totalled :giggle: I'm completely serious |
