go cart

Ok, I took a departure from my normal type of car here. My past cars have been big V8 types (2005 GTO, 2005 Mustang GT, 1968 Chevelle SS396). I decided this time that I wanted something a little different. I found a sweet deal on this 1990 Miata. Its almost perfect and has got only got 39k miles, but its what's under the hood that counts.

This car has:

Flyin Miata II turbo kit (GT2560R)
Hydra Nemesis (standalone computer)
Ground Control Coilovers
Koni Adjustable shocks
ACT extreme organic clutch
Flyin Miata lightened flywheel
Larger brakes from a later model Miata
MkII Miata Torsen limited-slip differential
Rota C8 15x6" wheels, gunmetal with aluminum lip
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 3 season UHP tires, 195/50/15

So... I now have 2 projects. First off, this one will get some chassis stiffening in the form of:

Rollbar
Frame rail reinforcements
Seam welding

This car is an absolute blast to drive. With the turbo, its got 99% of the acceleration of my previous V8 cars, but the open top, the go cart handling, and the low seating position make the $$$/fun ratio much higher. I don't care if its a girls car. :)
