Hi my name is rick.....and i have a car problem
just introducing my self, i dont have a miata but i do have a festiva..(quit laughing!) its a 1988 with a capri xr2 b6t engine and capri trans, the car is frightfully fast and pretty much bone stock with a mbc, i do have some wirring issued so hopefully when i get the new engine in i can fix all the wirring and do a standalone to cure some of the problems. well recently i just acquired a JDM BPT and for the price i couldn't say no, so my winter plans are to stuff this BPT under the hood. i am here as a lurker trying to learn more about what parts work with the BP's and theres tons of great info here! i want to build the BPT internals hopefully find a 99 miata head, neukin is making me a custom manifold as we speek. im going to stick a Kia sephia FWD trans in and hopefully a lsd. my next big purchase probably will be a megasquirt. im in nothern il about 40 mins from chicago if any of you local guys want to hit up the junkyards let me know i got a few friends and we try to get together on wednesdays and hit the diffrent yards up. heres some pictures
at the paint shop (need a new painter) it needs to be finished, maybe re done
i know the car at first may look ugly, i use to be a big domestic guy, i owned a few mustangs but man this car grew on me and i think its damn sexy now anyone who has seen it would say the same. im just going for a mild sleeper look nothing to fancy

Howdy neighbor. I've hit up all the boneyards here on the South Side and all I've come up with is 1 Na in three years! They are pretty scarce down here. Mabey my timing was bad but I seem to have no luck down here.One guy I talked to said I had a better chance of finding a 40 year old virgin!

I'm in Tinley Park,a half hour south of Chicago on IL Rt 43.The cars down right now, I'm trying to route my hotside pipe to the intercooler.It's a PITA with power steering and air conditioning.It's hard to find time too.I work 12 hours a day but I've had some time off with the rain.If we get good weather we're supposed to work 7 days a week!Short deadline on this job.It'll make me some money though.
If your out this way hit me up with a PM,you can check out the whip.I don't get up north too much but if I do I'll let you know.

Oh,a few tips:
1.Put your location in your profile.
2.Set up your signature with some info about you or your ride.
3.Buy a Miata.LOL
Some of these guys are sticklers about punctuation,grammer and the details.You will receive no mercy!!!LMAO
