Hey All - Been lurking for years and years, just using the classifieds. Here's an intro. Hi!

The car:

• 1990 Miata, 245k
• 1.8 swap from a '94 using FM's kit
• Full MSM suspension
• Full '02 sport brake conversion
• NB sport 15" wheels
• de-powered rack - easy version
• awful, awful, awful plastidip "paint job"

Plans for the car this spring, most parts already acquired:

• BEGI turbo kit - an ooooold version with an IHI RHB5 turbo, this car lives in Chicago but will eventually move to California, so I needed something with a CARB sticker and I got a great deal. I'm only shooting for maybe 10-12 PSI.
• Megasquirt
• RX8 yellowtop injectors
• OPL 2" radiator
• M-tuned reroute (lets me keep EGR and I'm clicking "easy mode" on this since I have other things to fabricate)
• FM hood vents
• Custom 3" exhaust
• JIC Magic suspension
• Poly bushings all around
• FM sways, RB links
• 949 racing sport clutch and FM lightweight flywheel
• fully de-power the steering rack, weld the pinion
• seam weld the chassis according to FM's diagrams (I'm handy with a welder)
• FM frame rails
• actual paint
• I have some moderately used 205/50 Toyo RA1s to throw on these wheels but I'm contemplating picking up some 15x8s
• I'd love a 3.9 or 4.10 torsen setup but I'll probably just drive the 4.3 VLSD until it dies
• This should be obvious but I'm a cheap bastard on some things

Pictured also is my '97 Yamaha YZF600R. I maintain all my machines on my own. These are both hunkered down in the garage for the winter. Right now a book on performance exhaust design, and Maximum Boost, are sitting on my desk waiting for me to dive in. Actual work will have to wait until the deep freeze starts coming to an end up here in Chicago.
