Youngster introduction from the sunny Okanagan
 

Hello Everyone! My name is Frank and I am fortunate to have found this clean (and surprisingly rust-free) 1995 NA Base-model + power steering with 176,xxxKM in April 2016. Completely stock and for the time being it will likely continue to be just that.

If you're from BC (or familiar with the area) and already skipped ahead to the pictures you will likely have noticed the big green and white 'N'ewb magnet that us young drivers are forced to put on the backs of our cars for all the world to see and you'd have gathered that I am a rather young person, 18 to be exact. This isn't my first car (that title goes, embarrassingly, to a Dodge Neon...) which is probably a good thing as I will not be driving the Miata in the winter.

My plans for this year consist of doing any maintenance items that I skipped last year (brakes, master and slave clutch cylinders, radiator, etc) and gain knowledge from my local Miata Club and these forums. I'll be going to college soon, meaning that spending-money will be low so I am unlikely to feel boost any-time soon but that won't stop me from making a plan and reading lots of build threads.

Currently the only modifications that I am really planning are a wide-band O2 sensor and a MS in the next couple of years to learn how to tune the car a bit while it's completely stock but only if funds permit it.

I'd love to meet more people from the area so feel free to say Hi here or PM me!

Welcome from 1 valley away . Sounds like you have a good starting point for what ever projects the future brings. Fredb

When I joined this forum I was 18 too, only 20 now.
All I can say is that all, well maybe 99%, of the information you will ever want/need will be on here, somewhere.
You just have to read because someone has likely already asked the same question.
Good plan on getting the MS and wideband first. It's much more comforting learning the software on a stock engine.

The very first thing you should buy is a keg tap. You'll save so much beer money over the next 4 years, you can probably go full turbo before you graduate.
