Default Keep from Upstate SC

Well hello new forum.
I have been in the Miata world for awhile now. I purchased my 96m back in 2002. I traded my snowboarding vessel for it (97 isuzu trooper). I was a former Honda guy. U know, the civic with the gsr swap, a 93 prelude with a 2.3 w/2.2 vetch head swap. Yes, that was back in 97 ish so don't hate.

Anyways several turbo setups, 5 different engines, and many many wheels and body crap later here I am.


My first turbo

About 4th version

And I have recently taken it off the road to revise it. I have dumped the plate out gv lip and a lot of other stuff. I'll post up the end result when im done

I will show you the 99 motor that I transplanted.


Later

Welcome! Sharp car, what turbo is that?

I like the GSP area, I spent some time at Clemson and really enjoyed the area.

Thanks guys.

The first turbo was a Garrett tdo5e very laggy but very wild when spooled-up.
4th was a china t28.

The car never felt like it did with the first turbo setup that I had. I guess it was because it was my fist time. You know what they say. Never forget the first one
