My name is Rob, I'm 28, from Western Mass and I have a 96 miata. I bought a dog cat and the car a little over 4 years ago.

This is mydog cat currently. The cat enjoys long walks and hiking in the woods, weird cat.

I got into drifting 2 years ago, last event I went to was in Oct 2014 at NHMS

Picked up a used FM turbo kit after that event, and put it in. Running MS3x, had some issues getting it going, but Braineack helped me get things sorted.

The car runs and drives
I built a shed 3 years ago to store the car in every winter.

And finally, I also have a motorcycle. 2002 SV650, I've had it for 8 years now.

I still need a few things for the car, but that's the gist of it.

1. Thank you.
2. It happens.
__2.1. Thank you for understanding.
__2.2. My friend Dragula (MT member) held my hand through the turbo'ing, and has helped with a ton of work on the car over the years. I am in his debt, and I gave him a 1UZ.
3. I try to use a camera whenever I can.
4. It's good to finally join up.

Replaced the upper / lower arms, and spindle. The wheel was straightened at a friends shop, ordered a new wheel, and flare.

Body work was done a month or so after I damaged the car, but it took 3 months for the replacement wheel to get delivered.

After I got the car back together my friend snapped this shot.

And the tattered wheel is now a whoopee cushion holder in my office. So that's a bonus, I needed one of those.
