Hi! My name is (what?), ym name is (who?), my name is... does anyone care?

Anyway, my name is Andrei, I came here to soak miata specific knowledge, and ask stupid questions 'cause the forum rulls say no question is to stupid... ))

I like driving, more than working on cars... i'm originally from Romania, but i've recently solved that problem...

Got my NB 'cause it wast the cheapest non BMW, well balanced, rwd car that I could buy for my 3000 euro budget, and out of sheer luck I managed to get a rust free one from Poland. I also made a budget for rust repairs before I got the car, well, I got to spend it on upgrades... It was the first time I had to pay more than advertised for a car, but **** it, worth every penny...

Here's my little gay weapon:

 

Hi and welcome. Always good to see someone near by (i'm just below your previous country). Nice specimen you have there. Whats that plastic thing on the right side of the engine?

 

overflow tank or if you're talking about the black/gray thingy, that's an airbox over the ITB'S, stole the whole setup from an AE101 Corolla...

Very creative i like it. Are you gonna put a turbskie in the future ?

 

 

yep, arrived yesterday... 😁 also gonna swap engine for a vvt one, the air inlet tube was ripped beneath, don't know for how long, but after the last trackday it didn't start right, searched for reasons, found the broken tube, did a compression test and it had almost none on two cylinders... sucked a lot of dust in and scratched the block and pistons, oh well, good reason to upgrade... 🤣

 

That sucks. Are you piecing your turbo kit yourself?

 

yep, generally cheap stuff, nothing fancy... will write a thread about it after i actually start working on it. I'm still waiting for some parts to arrive. She's like this atm:

 

Good to have another neighbor here; car (and plans) sound nice to me!
