Default M POWAR

So, some of you might have seen me talk about my Miata. It's a '90 that I picked up for autocrossing for a few hundred dollars because Miata > Everything in autocrossing! It didn't exactly run but, new NGK plugs, wires, K&N, cleaned throttle body, new battery, contacts, oil change, fuel filter, full brake job, Falken rubber, and the power of a ninja, she started today! Now all I have to do is fix the clutch linkage and install my braded brake lines and she'll be rockin'

It's awesome because I totally have all winter to get it ready for autocrossing! New seats, roll bar, some suspension work, steering wheel, new trunk lid (dented [:@]) and probably some fender work (bit of rust)

Yeah, but the dent in my trunk totally f*cks up my aerodynamics! It will get all shakey!

Lol! The battery in it is bigger than the one in a same vintage Civic, and it's already in the trunk. It is tiny, though, in comparison to the A4.

Those leaves on the floor are aftermarket - they add 5hp!

is that the miata that has a turbo in it?

ive never been a fan of the miata but it probably would be fun as hell to auto cross with it, especially since u picked it up for cheap!

Turbo Miatas aren't as much fun to drift because the boost kicks in and all of a sudden you have tons of power that you weren't expecting and it spins on you. Supercharged Miatas are way more fun because the power is more even. I'm probably going to supercharge it, rather than turbo it, and then I'll go and own STi's in Street Mod

My uncle got rid of his Porsche 912 for that miata and hated it. At least I think it was a 912? I was young and remember thinking is was a 911. N E Ways I looked at a 2000 something miata when searching for the A4 but it would have to be strictly a track car and I wanted practical.

What do you plan to do for performance?
