Hello all.
I officially parted ways with my GP to make way for my dream of building a legit race car. In this case, one that goes around corners sideways!
I thought for awhile of what forum to join for it or whether or not I should at all. I decided to make a build thread on GPF, where everything started for me actually modifying cars. I figured this would be really fun for you guys to follow as it's pretty much the exact opposite of what you normally see on this forum. No more talk, here's my "new" 1993 Miata and my old 2000 GT.
Please, I'm open to all questions and comments!
I picked it up three weeks ago for $3,200, it had 130XXX miles on it and just two owners before me. The first owner had it until 124K and was owned by a Miata enthusiast for the last two years who took great care of it. Clean car inside and out, had a good amount of ugly spots but very little rust and almost mechanically perfect. The little 1.6 has a good punch and the 5 speed is very smooth. I've already put it through a couple of nights of rough beating and it's been taking it like a champ.
I have a ton of mods planned but all will be taken care of at a nice steady pace. Until I take care of a 1.8 rear end swap the car will be more setup for grip than anything. More pics soon, it's been a long week and I'm exhausted.
