BRG 4 AutoX Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 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. The two Miatas together http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/5745/washedmiatas.jpg http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/washedmiatas.jpg/1/w604.png Kinda a dark picture, but the car is garaged for the winter so I don't have many good pictures http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/449/dark91.jpg http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/dark91.jpg/1/w604.png And of course Topless. Can't wait for summer http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/540/topless.jpg http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/topless.jpg/1/w604.png "New" car racing debut at Hangover Nationals 09 http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/1940/hangovernationals.jpg http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/hangovernationals.jpg/1/w604.png And of course an engine shot http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/3245/engineshot.jpg http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/engineshot.jpg/1/w604.png 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. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRG 4 AutoX Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 i think its Image Shack. I've never had a problem on forums with it though. And I don't know what the links are at the bottom of each picture, they didn't show up until I posted. Image Shack must have put them on there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRG 4 AutoX Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Sorry, no LS1 in the future for this Miata. I'm still getting used to the jump from a stock 120ishwhp to a turboed 240whp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRG 4 AutoX Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
