Well, the other day I sold my 91 Chukimonster.When I parked it outside for the guy to pick it up after the papers cleared, I felt like I was in a movie. It was like I was the camera and the car was my baby and I was leaving her behind.. in the ocean... far away..Anywho, today I'm going to pick up my 92 Miata, she's bone stock but well taken car of. Interior is just mint, drives like a charm. Anywho!I'll post pics of it after I clean her all up make it shine!

But wait, there's more!

You're probably wondering what I'm going to be doing with it... If not, shh.I plan on buying a s***ty 13b that needs to be rebuilt.-Blitz Nur Spec Exhaust-Sportmax 513's 15x8 0mm-Hardtop it.-Bride ZETA III's-Eunos Roadster Nardi Spec. Wheel.-Slotted Rotors, New Pads, New Brake Lines.-RUCA's-Garage Vary Front Lip-Stance AL+ Pro's-Eunos Roadster Badges-Fix the Drivers Fender/Headlight.

After all this is done, I'll probably do a 13b Rebuild. Friends dad said he can easily rebuild it. All he needs is a 12 pack and a pizza. Lol, hopefully I can get my hands dirty during the process.

I'll post the pics when I pick it up!

Engine's probably the last thing I'll do cause I can boost the stock 1.6 no problem. Going to focus on stance at first.You can buy a kit for like 1600-2k So, meh we'll see.Off to pick it up now so yeah. After I clean it I'll post pics.

I'd stick with a built 1.8t unless you've got uber badass fabricatiing skills...

You can get 1.8L blocks dirt cheap because the exact same block in found in some Kia's... That's what I read most NA guys are doing: Get a Kia block for damn near free and build it to withstand 300hp...

Yeah, not entirely sure on the color though. I'm shooting for a track car, but until I finish the build, and I can afford a beater. This'll be my DD.

Yellow's are hard to find apparently. Mazda only issued a small amount to try and get people to buy the "Rare" colors, to improve sales. Didn't work, haha.

Surprisingly I'm looking for some colors now, so if I find something I'll let'cha know. ;D
