BRG 4 AutoX

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

Just checked the rules, hopefully this first post is good enough.

 

I've lived in Columbus for about 8 years now. Always been a car nut and finally got enough money to get my first car last year. It took 3 years of searching on and off to find it at the right price.

 

This summer will be my 4th year of autocross. First 3 in my dad's '01 BRG Miata in CS, now my '91 BRG Miata with some goodies under the hood in EM/SM. I've also been drag racing multiple times at Norwalk, National Trails and a track in Marion in all my families cars(Yukon XL, Audi S4, and the two Miatas)

 

That's about it. Now for some pictures.

Kinda a dark picture, but the car is garaged for the winter so I don't have many good pictures

Hopefully these are good enough pictures of my car as these are the only ones I got before I put it away for the Winter.

Nice to see something other than a white, black, or red miata.

 

When I started looking I knew I wouldn't get a red or white Miata unless it was extremely cheap. I would have accepted black, but they are too popular too. I never meant to get the same color as my dad's (Mazda only made it in BRG in '91 and '01) but I couldn't pass up the deal I got. It has almost everything I wanted to do anyways, the Turbo and stock look being the main things.

 

 

<--- Fellow NA Miata fan here. Nice car. I want a ride. See you at AutoX. Welcome to CR.

 

I'd be more than happy to give rides at Autocross. I mostly go to the Miata Club ones, but I think I'm going to try SCCA a few times this season if I can figure out how to drive a relatively high boost turbo on the course.

 

Thought I saw something fishy behind the bumper. ;)

 

Nice car, I like it. I'd like to turbo my dads '95 sometime in the future.

 

Most people don't even realize it's a turbo until they get pushed back in their seat or hear the BOV. That's probably one of my favorite things about the car, it's such a sleeper!

If you have the money and your dad will let you, definitely go FI. It doesn't mess with the 50/50 weight distribution and its plenty fast when you want it but still can get 35+ mpg on the highway if your easy on it.

 

Thanks for all the welcomes and the pleasant surprise of no one hating on Miatas. haha

Welcome. You should definitely come run with the SCCA once in a while, the larger courses will probably suit your power level better though the tight technical courses that the BMC are fun.
