Welcome! I'm in Chicago and just joined up here as well.

Welcome! Whereabouts in Chicago? It's a huge area.

Schadenfreude

Gurnee. I live in front of Great America by the Oberweiss.

dieselmiata

LOLLERSKATES! I live right by you! near the Lowes at Grand and Rollins!

Schadenfreude

REALLY?! NO WAI! MEET SOON FOR TECH STUFF!

I'm sure you're more experienced than I am.. I've been stupid for the short time that I've had my NA. Will be a year in April

dieselmiata

All about it. I'm pretty handy with cars of the Miatae variety...

You wouldn't happen to drive a black NA would you?

Schadenfreude

We'll meet soon, man lol. Might need some help throwing in a radiator in April or so. You up for it? xD

dieselmiata

All about it. Radiators are easy stuff. Mine's on the garage floor right now along with most of my engine and suspension from my 92. Still got my 95 on the road though!

Schadenfreude

I'm curious about this 95 of yours.. And I can help with work on the 92 if you like! Mine's a 96 so it should be pretty comparable.

From your sig I and side info I can see that you have I/H/E and Megasquirt on it (the 95, that is). This sounds like a mild natural aspirated build that I'd like to do on mine without sacrificing the reliablity/driveability/longevity of my car (I wanna keep this thing a daily driver & track it once a year).

dieselmiata

Yeah, the 92 will be stock, but the 95 is there to satisfy my modding addictions. The megasquirt is loads of fun, and really changes the cars dynamic. I'm still a noob at programming/tunerstudio, but I'm learning and I know enough to have fun with. Not to mention, we have THE best resource right here. (Yes Brain, I'm kissing your ***).I figure eventually I will go F/I, but I'm not ready for that kind of commitment yet. All in all, it is a mild N/A build with no real purpose in mind. I don't care to be the fastest, and I don't track it. Just like to have "spirited" drives and enough to put a smile on my face. Feel free to hit me up if you need help, and we'll get together soon. I'm gonna need an extra set of hands to drop my tranny if you're down!
