1992 Mazda Miata
The Story
Started off as a mostly stock Miata. Body was rough but she had good bones. Only mod was a roadstersport exhaust. After a bunch of maintenance I started on the interior, bucket seats, getting rid of the massive steering wheel. I can heel toe now! Converted it to power windows. Swapped in some LRB door cards for some extra room. Coilovers, wheels and tires! More maintenance (old car things). Picked up a rollbar for $500 and a 10 pc nugget. I promise I'm not joking. Cobalt wing install. Installed LED light upgrades. Plz see my little car. Now Im getting the itch for more power. Compression is 180 on lowest cylinder! Not too shabby for a 30+ year old engine with 185k on it!!! Kraken Turbo kit ordered and supporting mods being put in. Koyorad, FM Happy meal kit, NB Diff I got for a steal. Mo powa baby!! Installed the turbo kit and it took WAYYY longer than I expected but that's what happens when you get no instructions. Street tune time! Oh the turbo noises. Making 185whp with GT2554r @ 8psi. Next on the agenda is the carbon hood and getting as much heat out of the bay as possible. Now the only good looking parts on this car are the hood and wing. Time to address the surface rust and 3 shades of white paint. Friend of a friend was able to knock it out in the oh so glorious Phoenix Yellow paint from a DC2 Type R. I've had so many firsts in this car, first clutch and timing belt, first car meet, first car show road trip. I'm so grateful for the experiences and people this car has brought me. Thanks for reading! Much love
