Default Noob to Miatas, not to racin' cars

Hi, I'm Wil from Houston. I've built a buncha neat things in the past and done some cool racin', and last year I acquired a clapped-out 10AE for a beater that I've since spent a decent bit of time tweakin' and cleanin' stuff up on. Going to be doing a turbo in the next few weeks, and I've got most of the parts together for it - I'll be posting a build thread soon-ish.

In the meantime, here are a few pictures of my most recent builds for your visual enjoyment

To be fair, I do have a bit more opportunity than most to build cool stuff; when I first raced Pikes Peak back in 2012 on an Aprilia, I decided that I wanted to do stuff like that full-time; I'd been wrenching on high-end, Euro, and exotics for several years at that time, and I decided that I'd built up enough of a client list that I could go out on my own...so, in September 2012 I quit my job and opened a small shop locally, where I do fancy car stuff full-time. I don't work on Miatas though (other than my own), and I don't sell parts or anything of that nature; nor will I be soliciting business or trying to make any money off of this forum. I'm just here to have fun doin' Miata stuff, and maybe help out and share info where I'm able to!

Here's my Miata a while back, with an almost-empty fuel tank causing fuel to cut out on hard corners whilst chasing a Porsche.

Work warning for language here and there.
