Moffitt's First Miata Build
The Car:
I picked up a 94 Miata M Edition 1.8L, Montego Blue with the Nardi wood grain shift **** and e-brake handle, aluminum sill plates, Torsen LSD and all the other M edition features...
With a clean title
For $400
The catch was...the genius before me welded the timing belt cog onto the crankshaft.
So it was decided to begin a project/build.
My Desired Goal is 300 WHP and a matching if not more than 300 WTQ with a 1.8L
PICTUREESS!!

Ok its time to catch up...
Well so far I've aquired the block shell and crankshaft.
Took them both to G&G Performance Engines just outside Tomball,TX to hot tank both of them and also have the crank polished.
I also decided to have the cylinders bored .40 over to 84 mm
Heres the block after the hot tank and .40 over bore:

Alright so the engine build has come to a TEMPORARY stop due to starting a new job, However I went to the machine shop to pick up my block shell and crankshaft. After I arrived he informed he he also decked the block .005"
NOW....Im not coming to a complete halt on everything. While I am waiting for the right time to aquire the bottom end assembly, It's time to start the wire tuck

Ug. Doing that would net me around 10 lbs of wiring that's stuck behind the heater core, but I still haven't done it. That's how much I'm not looking forward to it. As soon as a wire tuck requires me to drain the coolant I'm uninterested.
