Default New from VA

Whats up MFz. My name is David and this is my car:



Its a 99 10AE that I've had for a little over 2 years. I bought it nearly stock after selling my first car, a '88 Toyota Supra Turbo - that was a fun car, but as soon as I discovered autocrossing/the twisties it was game over. A few friends had Miatas, so I started the search and before long this one followed me home.

Currently its my nice-weather car and project - I'm working on making it a fun, reliable, and capable street/autocross and occasional track toy, hopefully with more turbo before long.

I found this site through MT.net, I'm a member there and on m.net with the same s/n. I like the design of this forum the best, and for being fairly new it has a lot of good info so far!

A few more pics:

^agreed! What suspension are you on? what tires+wheel size?

Welcome btw, seems you have already browsed around some...Something you may have missed is our upcoming feature (we are working on getting it setup now). You can read more about it in the "front desk" section. Enjoy!

Thanks! Appreciate the welcome.

The car has FM's VMaxx setup - coilovers and F/R swaybars, with 949 endlinks and Mazda competition front swaybar mounts. The wheels are 15x9, with 225/45/15 Toyo R1R's. For the money, it rides great and handles awesomely, I couldn't have asked for much more.

I'm late to the welcoming party! but welcome anyways!

Im really liking your car! There is something about that color that I have always liked.

We seem to be getting a lot of performance oriented members, that arent necessarily turbo'd. I like it!
