It was really nice driving home, though, so I'm pretty stoked that the Sierra top I ordered is zippered glass. Always nice to install an upgrade instead of just boring maintenance. Of course I pulled the trigger on a new Rega P3 50th Anniversary turntable right before finding this... when it rains it pours!

My 2000 NB1 I've been building for 5ish years. The engine's mostly stock but I've spent a lot of time on maximizing its cornering ability on a reasonable budget and removing weight where while retaining creature comforts like carpet and a radio. It's my third Miata and definitely my favorite! IMO, NBs are the sweet spot between power, complexity and daily-ability.

Had a NA back in '99 but after my poor mk2.5 went to rust heaven a few weeks ago (the underside was a horror show) I've gone and got a 2017 ND RF and oh boy am I in love.

(Sorry to the NC's, I just didn't like the design)

My first car and my second car.

The reshelling of the mechanicals and suspension from my wrecked Eunos into the new body is completed.

Months of effort, skinned kuckles, dirty fingernails, swearing and way too much money are over.

Turbocharged and ready to party #mx5 #miata

Took about two hours.

Fellow too small to see car enthusiast from Apollo here! Glad to have a new place to go.

Flat black isn't for everyone, but we like it.

OZ Leggera 7.5x17" ET45, going for that OEM+ look

I know KPowerIndustries has a K24A2 kit - I found a really cheap k24a4 junkyard engine for $200, 170k miles on it.

I want to keep it in my garage and take it apart and mess around several times as I've never worked with cars too much. It comes with a rebuild kit previous owner had gotten to busy to finish. I plan to either sell it or junk it since its mostly to learn - I'll probably look for a more popular 2.5 swap.

But hypothetically, if I wanted to swap a K24A4 odyssey engine, could I do it? I know the compression ratio is lower so might need some forced induction to go with it

The color is "Blue Crystal Metallic" an option that was only offered for about a year, approx 3000 Miatas were sold with this color. I've never done paint polishing so I bought a kit from Amazon with a ton of Chemical Guys compounds and after a TON of watching YouTube tutorials I went to work.

Drilled a hole in a hat and stuck a yi 4k action camera in there.

Still i need of lowering, but she's my 97 😊. Dealer pin stripe is original by the looks of it

Old lump out, some tidying of the engine bay to do before the turbocharged engine from my other, crashed, MX goes in

Sad to see you go, we had some great times togerger, old friend... but your turbocharged heart will live on in another

If anyone has tips on how to properly transfer the title, bill of sale etc that would be really useful!
