SO as some of you may remember, a series of events led to me parting out my beloved 855 turbo monster. After more than a year of some seriously hard times. I have my mojo back lol.
I've since enrolled in school. Im getting my Associates in Plumbing from Trade Tech and transferring to USC for a BA in business.. I am currently maintaining a 4.0 GPA
So since I am on a student budget for the next 4 years, I had to transition in to a different more economical operating cost oriented vehicle
FLAME SUIT ACTIVATED< lol
SO after a serious search for my next car to start modifying I came in to the world of Mazda. A 1996 M edition Miata to be specific. it was that or a MR2 spyder. which cost more and is more expensive to operate. Now this was no easy task as I am 6'5. I had to take racing seats and fabricate side brackets get the seat lower and remove sections of foam to get the proper angle. In addition to installing a NRG quick detach steering wheel.
As the car sits right now. I am on Custom Ground Control Coilovers W/ 450lb and 325lb rear spring rates. 14lb 15x8 Et 0 offset rims stretching 205's/45/15. Hard Dog Roll bar, Aftermarket bride replica seats. Strut brace. Engine has recently been rebuilt new. pistons, rings rebuild cylinder head., New clutch, Timing assembly and all belts/fluids replaced.
I've got 4 grand invested. : ) these cars are cheap.
Future plans in the next 6 months. Are wider tires 225/45/17 200 TW. And mild chassis bracing. And a hard top.
This car rocks its a GO Kart lol.
2 year plan. Is turbo kit aiming for 250 WHP in a 2200lb car. should be slightly faster than a 19t 850 setup. : ). Cost is apprx 2500$ with turbo parts, tuning, upgraded clutch etc... And you can't even imagine the cornering abilities this car has if you haven't ever ridden in one.
left my Tablet on the windshield. I was looking up specs while working on the car.
