So, where do i start... i picked up my miata 2 years ago and it's been through a few phases. When i first got it, i started off with suspension, exhaust and intake however a buddy of mine was selling his turbo kit so i had to jump on it. Like an ass, i bought the kit, installed it and went with a cheap F1 puck clutch from eBay and paid the price. Slipping clutch and a 200rpm higher red line caused be to put 6 holes in the motor. Here are some pics from when i bought to when i blew the motor..

After blowing up the motor, i decided to rebuilt properly Here's what I now have:

Wiseco 8.5:1 pistons
Eagle Rods
ARP head studs
Gude Perforamce cams - .274 duration
Flyin Miata head package with +1mm valves
ACT Clutch
Fidanza Flywheel
GT28rs turbo
Begi Manifold, downpipe and exhaust
Haltech ECU - tuned by Jeff Evans Tuning
Hard Dog roll bar
T&R Wheels
Hankook RS3 tires

pushing 306whp

few more things i can think of but here are some pictures...

Here's the car getting tuned at Jeff Evan's

And here's my A/F after getting tuned

Soon to come:

Intake Manifold
Throttle Body
1000cc injectors
bigger turbo - not sure which one
tubular manifold

But most importantly - i need an NA 94-97 to move everything over to.

Live and learn. Looks nice now though.

I've actually decided to sell it instead of upgrade it further... I kinda want to get my hands on an rx7.

Actually kinda liked the bumper in the first few pics!

So i'm bringing this thread back from the dead... I've decided to not sell the miata but instead move into an NA. I picked up a 96 a few weeks ago and have slowly been moving things over.. So far the suspension, roll bar and soft top have been moved over... I'm hoping to have the brakes and low profile headlights on this weekend so i can register and drive her before the Autokonexion wide body goes (pics of the kit to follow soon).

Here are some pics of the miata now:

Finished sanding all the covers in the rear and painted them all black to match the car today. Now I am at a stand still
til my parts show up...

 

[BigChris]

just a sneak peak of whats to come...

This build is propperrr. Awesome parts. What brand is the new bumper? Very NC'ish hah

 

[BigChris]

Thanks man. The kit is the Autokonexion wide body fenders with NA/NC bumper and a set of flares for the rear.

 

[BigChris]

Not much done tonight but I did manage to get my NRG hub and momo wheel in

 

[BigChris]

Time to put the sway bars in

 

[BigChris]

ugh...even though this car is cheap i forget how easily it adds up... just picked up my plug and play harness for my haltech sport 1000. can't wait to put my motor in put the stock 1.8 aside

 

[BigChris]

not much left to do on the NA since i'm waiting for parts to arrive so i decided to start prepping for the engine pull this saturday. She's just waiting to get into her new home!

This should be a fun weekend! I hope you remember to get enough beer, I manage a lot better when I am drunk and have to keep you from messing things up. Plus you add Doug and tools something is bound to get broken.

 

[BigChris]

I learned how to break things by watching you, Doug and John so we are definitely dropping something !

Nice to see more NA/NC bumpers out there finally. That bumper had such a following during the concept and prototype stages and then no one came though for purchase once available, so its really nice to see more of them out there. I can't wait to get mine on, but with my own touches, lol

 

[BigChris]

yeah i'm dying to put on the widebody kit but i'm being smart and waiting... i want to get all my parts in the car first before i slap on some fiberglass parts.

 

[BigChris]

well i guess a weekend update is due... started off the weekend by heading to my buddies house and borrow his hoist..

Everything started off smooth but my old nb had so much damn rust and it was a pain getting bolts loose... Here are some more pics:

soooooooo when i bought my NA, i asked the seller to remove his wheels, stereo and suspension since i had my own.. instead of putting on stock suspension he drove it to me (about 40min away) with this!?!?! WTF!

Here are more stuff removed:

no more interior!

Lucky me stepped into a pan full of diff oil when i was removing the shifter... dumbass.

Now i just need to get rid of this rusted out chassis...

all in all, productive weekend getting everything out... The only thing i was able to do to the NA was instead my low profile headlights...

This week i'm going to try and finish up my interior...
