Hello! I知 Charles and currently live in Layton, Utah. I just moved here about a year ago from Okinawa, Japan. I work as a Jet Engine Mechanic in the Air Force. 26 years old; for my daily driver I ride around in a silver 2013 Mazdaspeed 3. I知 fairly active on a couple other forums for my speed but was looking for another community to open my eyes to the turbo Miata world. I plan to buy a Miata for my next project so I figure this would be a good place to learn how to build it right the first time.
A little more about me:
I知 in love with turbo cars and have owned a few. I drove my friends non-turbo Miata and fell in love with the handling of the vehicle and decided that it would be my next project. I want to make it my weekend warrior to take out to the track and through the mountains and valley. I don稚 want a huge turbo, just something small the spools quick as I知 not too concerned about making massive power. I plan to put most of my money towards suspension upgrades and whatever preventative measures I may need to take to ensure it runs solid.
I知 pretty knowledgeable when it comes to mechanical work and have an A&P license. I can fiberglass, port/polish, weld, and do other spiffy things. Outside of my mechanical and military background I go to school full time as an art student. My living room is an art studio with an airbrush setup and all sorts of other crap for painting, sculpting, and drawing. I am hopefully moving into a house soon and plan to setup my own home shop for painting, upholstery, porting/polishing, and whatever maintenance work I may need to do. Yep, that痴 about all I got for now

I bought the FTO because I was a previous DSM owner and wanted to get another Mitsubishi. I had the idea that I was going to twin turbo it but quickly found out that I didn't like the car so I traded it for a turbo gallant.
Here are some pictures of the speed as promised
