Thread: Looking to buy a turbo Miata

  1. #1

    Default Looking to buy a turbo Miata

    What should I ask and look for? The one I am looking at was done by FM. But I think it is an older kit. I cannot find it on their website. I am looking to make this a track car.
    Thanks

    Based on our conversion at the S2K autocross, you might want to give Keith Verges a call and find out the specs on his Turbo SPEC Miatas. That way, you can look for a car closer to his specs for an easier conversion if you decide to go that way with it.

    Was that a religious conversion?

    A receipt? A conversion? Are you drunk at work this morning or what?

    Sounds like maybe you'd be better off if you'd apply yourself and not do things half-way...

    OK, you bunch of ADD mofos. Back to the topic, not food, not sexual, not female product (even if it is a Miata board).
