Hey guys. I'm a long time user of the forum. I don't comment or post much. I mostly use the forum for research, buy and sell. Anyway, I just wanted to start my build thread here. I understand some you may not like my car, or whatever. I don't care.
About 10 years ago. Bought my Miata for $1100, running car with rocker rust. The previous owner bought brand new NC (keep in mind, NC was the new miata at the time) I drove the car stock for about 3-4 years. I kept it stock, mainly because I had other car projects, and didn't want to dump money into. It was a great, and reliable car. Never had any problems.
## Also, I apologies for not being more detail about the build, this was yearsssss ago, and I didn't' have a full log of everything. ##
The first day I bought her. The only thing I did was maintenance, and swap to a borbet wheels.
A few years later. I got into racing, and autoX. Only then, I've decide to mod the car a bit more:
Fast forward, I've decide to fix the rocker rust. And while i'm at it, decide to paint the car as well. The car was painted about 3-4 times (you will see this at a later post). This was painted indoor in a garage.
I wasn't happy with the garage paint job, so decide to paint the car again. I was lucky at the time, my old job trust me to use the shop after hours. Finished painting the car from 10pm-3am at nite.
NOW.. finally a bit more current. I've decide to do a FULL make over. I just recently sold my old turbo engine to a friend, and now rebuilding another one.
I just wanted to update you all as well, that I finally have video progress on youtube at well. https://www.youtube.com/sithaputh

This is the first video of the build. Each week 1 or 2 video will be uploaded of the whole process. Please subscribe to my youtube channel for more updates.
I have no clue how to embedded it here. Hopefully it works
So, I clean up the engine bay a bit more, Now I've finished both side. (Sorry no pic)
Also, decide to tear down the whole engine. This is part one, I have to make room for parts two engine tear down.
A bit more update. The machine shop just finished bore out my engine block. I'm waiting for a few more parts until I install the engine component. While waiting I've decide to make a custom tail lights.
A bit more update of the engine progress. So, I decide to clean all all the parts that I will be using for the engine build.
Here are some before and after pictures.
