It's pretty standard bar a pod filter and some offset wheels and seems very healthy.
Just picked up a 1.8 nb8b rear end to replace my welded diff and have been reading up a heap about turbo'ing my 1.6 (and painting lol)
Car seems healthy... but going to do a compression test before I buy a pnp megasquirt and add some rx8 injectors or similar and go from there, learning as I go.
Have an alright condition t25 and an intercooler and various piping I got for cheapish...
Looking at getting a manifold made by NitroDann, decent price and will be much better than ebay.
Still a long way away from comitting to it.
Love having options so chose to go t25 in hopes if it all goes well and I feel i need more power there is more bolt on turbos available.
Will make sure I do my research before making a shitpost and getting roasted LOL
Tonnes of good info around here though, having fun learning heaps about what these miatas can do.
Thanks for viewing

Did an AFM delete and wired fuel pump for independent control with ECU.
Rb30 tps that I got for $20! Worked a treat and made it PnP with some wiring modification internally

Somewhere along in there I installed na8 brakes in the front
Drilled and tapped sump
Installed flowforce injectors and checked for leaks and drove on them a bit to check how my deadtimes were
Mocked up the turbo setup

Messed up the P/S inlet and removed my whole P/S system and got a manual rack (should have done this from the start lol
Waited 2 weeks for a manual rack to arrive (the only time I will hate having 4 public holidays in 2 weeks)
Started it up checked for leaks, none, all good.
Hardtop and roll bar added, paint still sh*t

And have been driving it around lightly and made my first few psi of boost on light throttle, awaiting a dyno tune as I don't think I am confident enough to get the most power out of it myself.
Very easy to drive car just very loud as I need a full exhaust!
My only concern at this point is that there are 4 connection on my intercooler piping that do NOT have bead rolls, so I think they may blow off at some point. I will get them bead rolled if they do and remove my A/C at the same time
Will hopefully be posting dyno results in the coming week or so depending on my luck.
If i were to do it again I would just gut A/C and P/S day one, that stuff is a waste of weight and space.
Thanks for reading
