de-noobification in SC
hey
I'm Sammy/Sam/Samantha/Bird, whichever you'd prefer. I'm from South Carolina and as of about two weeks ago, I'm new to the Miata lifestyle rocking a blue NB2 as a daily. I've only ever owned your big-body VIP style cars - mainly Lexus GSs, so it's been an interesting adjustment. I've wanted one for as long as I can remember, though. She's currently lowered on some mediocre brand coilovers, which I plan to replace soon...most likely with BCs, unless I find something else I like as much in a similar price range. She's obnoxiously loud so I'll be redoing the exhaust soon to fit my liking better, and I'll probably switch to 16" wheels...maybe.. She's a 2001 with 77k original miles and in pretty darn good shape. Bone stock under the hood.
The plan is definitely to boost the car, though it'll most likely be a very slow process, buying one to two pieces of what I need at a time, though my lack of patience makes that killer. Aiming for about 250whp but that's still in the air, as I'm still researching and learning all I can right now.. Definitely hope to gain some knowledge from the threads here, and any info/tips/pointers/etc are greatly appreciated! And it would be really cool to get to know other Miata owners in the area as well (SC, NC, FL, GA, TN)

I currently work in logistics for a company that builds and integrates a variety of tactical military vehicles, ranging from amphibious combat vehicles, to mobile data shelters, to Humvees, and others. I generally go back and forth between building parts kits to send to the assembly line for install and actually going working hands-on to help build them. It's an interesting job, for sure
