Tired of lurking
Hey guys.
Been lurking for weeks now. My name is John. I've had a handful of miatas in the last couple of years. My current car is a '94 brilliant black with a black hardtop. (looks just like Savington's car, but without the r-package lip)
The car is currently setup for CSP auto-x. It will be changed significantly, in time for track season.
I'm very undecided as what to do with my car. I had a MP62 w/TDR I/C that I was gonna install on my red '96, but I had to sell the blower, and I traded the red '96 for my black '94.
Now that I have the '94, I don't know if I should go blower, turbo, or itb. I realize that the obvious answer from this forum would be turbo, but I want some opinion, from experience, from guys that track turbo, sc, or n/a cars, to help me determine the best choice.
This car is primarily used on the track. I don't daily drive it. The suspension side of the spectrum is covered, so now I'm looking toward some real power.
I do a lot of research, in general, but just want some advice.

Welcome. It's always great to see another Texan on here.
If you want to make any kind of power, you'll have to go forced induction, not itbs.
Turbos are much better suited for the track than superchargers. Superchargers are better for autocross.

You mean it has the "smart *** punk behind the steering wheel" option too? :gay:
Welcome. And like Y8s says, w/o massive power and lots of drifting videos, you'll soon wear out your welcome.
Post some pics!

It is great to see more people from texas
More details on SC being better than turbos on the track, please.

I really need to get some pics of my car. Soon....
Nice. pm me with some info on your car.
In reference to a SC, I assume?

Nice to see john over here finally. He and I have a lot of track time together and we both drive with extreme prejudice. Hopefully our cars make similar or identical power because I'd love to get out there and do some tag team **** on some gt3's.
I may end up doing a marathon drivetrain swap and turbo install next weekend at my apartment since dad doesn't have his lift in yet.
