Hello from Sacramento!

Hello MiataForumz,

I'm new from Sacramento. I'm a college student, and my Miata is my primary hobby. it's an '01 LS with 6-speed and Torsen. I've had the car since February. It's intended to be a prideful daily driver and a weekend autocross/track car. I autocrossed a bunch this season; next season my dad wants to drive too, so I'll be changing the seating pretty soon to get lower (he's 6'4").

I've done a few basic things to the car in the past 10 months - FM V-Maxx coilovers, Hard Core DD rollbar, hardtop, 15x9 TR C3Ms with 225/45 R-S3s, intake/axleback, as well as a slew of minor mods that I won't go into. Here are some pics of the car's journey to today.

First off, this is the car I came from. '99 GT, 17x9/10.5, 275/40 in front and 315/35 in the rear. High grip/power expectations.

Coilovers came soon after that screeching, sliding experience

More autocross in CSP (treadwear rating prevented me from running STR)

Took some fancy pictures

Welcome to the site! That is a great looking NB. Good list of mods for a pleasant autocross car.

Feel free to browse around, or post some of your photos in the NB photo thread.

Welcome! Nice car!

We seem to be getting a slew of really clean NBs as of late.

I think I'm going to have to get one...

Now how do I convince the wife I need another Miata?:ohnoes:

Welcome! Do you know Vlad with the white NB out there in Sac?

GreenYellow 11-06-2011 12:08 PM

Thank you for the big welcome, everyone. :)

Sixshooter - I don't know him directly, but my friends do and I certainly have heard of him.
