Hello
Not really new to the miata world (worked on many) but finally purchased a couple. Picked up a yellow auto 1.6 and a wrecked black turbo 1.8 from a friend. I originally intended to do the easy thing and swap everything over to the yellow one but I felt bad so I decided to make the black car work. It had a front end collision with an altima that ended up with the frame rails being a little wrinkled towards the drivers side, all the damage was in front of the suspension and everything from the bend back is clean. Me being extremely anal about vehicle dynamics and needing to trust it for hard use finally decided it didnt suffer much at all from the wreck apart from cosmetics/useless shit. I was going to do a full tube front end but decided against it in favor of just building a new core support/radiator mounting setup. Worked quite nicely, I'm working on the headlights and just finished modifying the intercooler piping. The car is on an aem ems, precision 680's, t25, etc. It's entertaining. Not sure what to do with the yellow car, it has a rod knock, I'll probably pull the front end off of it and stick it on the black car.
The car will mainly be a fun/play vehicle, it might get to go to msr, mineral wells, or something similar if I have time. I've built everything from datsuns, classic bmw's, rx7's, ae86s, blah blah.

On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

Gladly, I like building stuff as much as I like driving! I'm curious, does anyone have a normalish limit to what the torsen can handle powerwise?
Also here is a short video after we got the anti lag set up on the car :)
