VERY experienced DRIFTER!
 

Hey gaiz im 15 so i dont have a license yet. I has however been driving since I was a kid so I can drift like forever. I heard the turbo makes my tyres spin so that’s why im here!!! Then I can drift for an eternity! Please ask if you need advice on drifting or how to look k00l while doing it!! :bigtu: :bigtu:


















No, lol.

Hey, guys! I’m nearing my third year of ownership of my ’95 1.8 MX-5. I’ve been lurking around gathering information for quite some time already. Great forum with lots of well documented information!

My plan is to get the most out engine going N/A first, and we’ll see where I’ll go from there. I have a '93 1.6 as well, so depending on how (un)happy I'll be with the final output of the '95, I may end up turbocharging the '93 - or possibly both.

As of now I've got a ported '99 head and cams & intake ++ from the same engine. A complete Racing Beat exhaust system has already been fitted. Some alright coilovers are in boxes, waiting to be fitted this winter. I've mostly focused on getting the look I want, both interior and exterior-wise.
Now I'll focus on the power/safety to back that up!
Megasquirt is next on the list, with a Torsen coming in on a close second.

I will soon shaddapp and crawl back into lurking mode, until I’ve actually got something useful to post.
Bear in my my English is not my mother language, and I live in a foreign (to most of you) country. However I’m capable of understanding English perfectly fine. Just a heads up that fucked up grammar and awful sentence structure will occur!

Thanks! :wavey:

Aw, now I don't get to ban you...

lol I was looking forward to another "one of those" threads lol

Sad to say but your spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure is better than a good majority of posters on forums.

+1

Nice intro, welcome to MT.

I have to say, I think this may be the absolute best new-user intro thread we have ever had on MiataTurbo.

10/10 Would read again. I like this guy already!

Welcome to here, From the sounds of it you have been here awhile already. But welcome anyways! :party::party:

Mmm, no. I noticed a distinct lack of cats.

Welcome to the site. Post some pictures of the full car when you get a chance, it looks really clean.

That's true- we did have one guy whose newb-intro post was nothing but cats.


Ok, I think we can all agree that this is the best non-cat-centric newb intro post we have ever had.

I'm sorry to disappoint both of you!


Thanks, I’m trying my best!



Wow, what compliments! It has to be the greatest welcome I’ve ever received on a forum. Much appreciated! ;)

Thanks, sadly it looks better 10 feet away than it looks up close. I'll get some pictures for you soon.

Post your location in your profile so it shows up under your screen name.

Just posting here cause there aren't enough posts from mods and/or admins.

Done!

LOL. I take that as welcoming gesture! :wavey:


As promised earlier, some pictures of the MX-5's:

'93 in front, '95 in the garage behind it.

The good parts go on the '95, the '93 is my daily beater.

I love the dual exhaust.
Welcome!

Thank you for the welcome!

Yep, sadly it's not "correct" to put dual exhaust outlets on it, being a 4-cylinder. However, ever since I was a kid I've always wanted a sports car with dual exhaust outlets, so I just couldn't resist it when I had the chance. :bigtu:

It looks difficult to play basketball where you have that goal located, lol. I guess you guys probably don't play a game called "Horse". Maybe you do play it but you might call it "Norse". I apologize. That was corny as hell. But seriously, what is up with that goal location? And what kind of car is the boxy little blue one?

Lol. Yeah, the location is quite bad. It doesn't help that the driveway is packed with gravel either. It was mounted before the little "mail box-house" was put up, so it used to work alright. It probably hasn't been used for 10 years though.

We do actually play "horse", but it's called the Norwegian word for "pig".
Both the car in the garage and the blue roof you can spot, are early 80's Ford Fiestas. Fun & simple little cars. Dunno if you have them in the US?

Bad picture, but only one I could find atm.


https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386350985

We have the current-generation Fiesta in the US, but we did not have any of the previous-gen Fiestas here. During the 1980s, the only compact Fords in the US were the Escort and the Festiva (which was a re-badged Mazda 121.)

Yes, we do have those Festivas. (Or maybe I just remember them from when I lived in Germany)

The mailbox house was what puzzled me when it came to the goal.

Do you get to drive the Miatas in the winter, or do they salt your roads there?

Really clean looking '95. Not a fan of the wheels or the dual exhaust, but to each their own. Looks like a nice car.

Festiva =! Fiesta.

Very similar, though.

Which makes me think of:

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386352334

You kidding me? That top one is cool. That bottom one is a bottom feeder.

Just MHO.

Are you on the drugs, son?

Here, I made it so the bottom one is even cooler than the top one:

You just trolled MT.net, thats a good one :) Thats how you get along with us right there!

Oh yeah, they spew that salt shit everywhere. I drove my '95 MX-5 one winter two years ago, resulting in cracks in the rear arches and a completely rusty brown suspension. I ended up behind this truck a couple of times during winter. :mad:

Thanks, the rims are being replaced with something lighter and not fake next year. I'm wishing for 6UL's, but they seem to be nearly impossible to get a hold of. Whatever wheels I end up with, they'll be fitted with Toyo R888's when the summer arrives again in 6 months.

I'm happy we don't have the Festiva here, looks like a badly copied and cheaper version of the Fiesta. There are some cool Fiesta's out there though.

Those two Fiestas are really cool, especially that Zetec powered one. (that IS a Zetec, isn't it?)

Joe, I have no words.

You do, they're just wrong. :fawk:

Lol, thanks. It seems to be a good approach!:rofl:

That IS correct!


Lookin' good, sixshooter! Does every thread on this forum end up being off topic, btw? I thought this forum was about how to make Miatas go fast, lol.:giggle:

Yes, all of them. That is why when searching for answers to questions I never give much thought to what the title of the thread is about.

Generally, yes. :party:

Haha, if I understand this correctly, this thread lacks at least an eggplant!

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1386447740

Well, you typically only get eggplanted if you're totally irrelevant, which you aren't. But that's a cute eggplant.

Not just irrelevant, but having brainpower and thought processes comparable to an eggplant.

I used to have that toy when I was a kid. It was a McDonald's Fraggle Rock Happy Meal toy.

Speaking of kids toys, did any of you guys have the Evil Knievel motorcycle toy. You put the toy in the starting ramp thing and spin the handle as fast as you could and the bike would take off? Those were cool.

No, but I do remember being a friend's house where they had HBO, and watching Fraggle Rock.

Sidebar:

Remember that epic "Starship" HBO intro that they used in the early 80s?





Wait... That's not right.





I always thought that when the circled around and into the O at the end, that it was deliberately made to look like the upper drum assembly (head) of a videotape machine.

I still cling to this belief.




Anyway, it's so cool how they did stuff like this without CG:

Aha, I am pleased to hear!

Regarding kids toys, I wish I had this when was a kid:

Oh well, I'll get one when I eventually have my own kid someday. :bigtu:
