Greetings From Wichita, KS New NB Owner

[BluFalcon]

My name is Ed and I sold my 92 Galant VR-4 back in December 2015, ending a automotive relationship that included either single or multiple DSM/Mitsubishi vehicles that stretched unbroken back to 1997.

I relocated to the Wichita area from Arlington, TX in January and decided to bring a nice, rust free Texas Miata with me before I moved to the "Land Of Salted Roads".



I'm a complete newbie to Miatas specifically, and Mazdas in general. I had a Mazda B2200 pickup back in the day, but it was traded in on my first DSM, a 92 Plymouth Laser back in 97, so it's been awhile.

Current plans are to build a nice clean car that does double duty as a fun street car, with occasional visits the autocross course. I signed up for a Driver's Edge event in October at Motorsport Ranch in Texas, so I've got a few things I need to take care of before that happens.

Since I got the car, I've added and fixed a few things:

Fixed The Stripped Out Drain Plug The Previous Owner Didn't Tell Me About


Got under the car to do the first oil change, and was like, "Surprise!!" Used a TimeSert kit to fix it.

Got A Used Hard Top


Got It Painted


Also Installed:
Used Racing Beat Intake
New Tires
New Battery
Water Pump/T-Belt, Seals
Changed Fluids
New Head Unit
Fixed Base Antenna with a Shorty Mast
Koyo Radiator

I've got some new Koni Shocks, Eibach Pro Kits that need to be installed and a Blackbird Fabworx Single Diagonal Roll Bar on the way.

I'm still learning the ins and outs of the platform, and definitely miss the boost from my old Mitsubishi days, but the Miata is definitely growing on me. Happy to be here and learn more about my new car and the community.
