Newb from midwest
Hey Everybody- Name is Marcus... I am from Sioux Falls. Avid autox'er getting into Road Coursing. I own a few different cars including two miatas, a 90 and 95. A 07 Frontier, an 02 Protege, and a 73 Ford F250 Sport Custom.
I am currently in the process of revamping my 90, and converting my 95 parts car into a chump car.
Current status of my 90
stock 1.6 N/A
KYB AGX's and H&R Race Springs
Flyin Miata front sway bar
alot of weight reduction
Current build includes
99 1.8 swap,
Koni sports,
GC sleeves and springs- 525F and 320r
95 wiring harness and ECU.
Later it will get custom turbo setup, and Standalone ECU- probably AEM EMS
Alot to do to the car between now and then- and want to get it up and running in the mean time.
my 95 I bought for $250 as a side project and got turned on to Chump Car. I was crew cheif for the Bare Metal Racing team #28 Sentra that took Second at the Hallet event last summer (of course not without the help of two miatas being disqualified) so I decided to turn my 95 into a chumpcar. I figured as the stock 1.8 was blownd up. I would swap the wiring harness out of my 90 into the 95 and drop in the 1.6. I have a team put together and we have a theme in mind and a plan, but I will keep that quiet for the time being.
Hopefully as I build both cars I am going to try and keep the forums I am on updated. I joined this site for info for turbo charging and see what others have done before me to solve the random issues presented with these particular cars. I am a Mazda man through and through.
I will leave you with a couple pictures of my miatas, and a few with random friends cars.

Probably see you at MAM or MPH sometime if I ever get off my *** and finish the V8 swap, that is. Been tracking my bike at both places a lot last year. Welcome to the forum. Lemme know if you need any oddball parts. My stash is getting pretty low on 1.8 parts but you never know. I get through Sioux Falls every couple of months.

Could possibly. Been to MAM a couple times, but never ran. I seem to tag along more to help other people out. At least the past couple years anyways... Having kids seem to deplete the car fund ****. Therefor have had to do small stuff the past couple years. Now that I have some $$$ to put into the car... I will be going all out.
