Hyperspeed Works///

[Hyper]

Hello, my name is Eli. I have been a miata fan and owner for a long time. I decided to open this build thread to motivate myself and continue working on my ride. The car has been sitting at my dad's house for quite a while and it is sad for me that I once put so much effort into building it and I did, but as a single dad I have priorities to complete and fulfill for my 10 year old son. Now it is time to work on it again, not for me but my son as this project and build thread is dedicated to him because one day I will hand the keys to my own ride to him. It is my greatest joy to show you pictures of my car as it used to look like not long ago and to explain in this thread where I am heading with this project.


About me and what I like about my miatas.

The first time I felt in love with Miatas was at an autocross event. That was a long time ago, I was in my 20's and I used to drive a Datsun 240z. With that said, the miatas completely destroyed my Z at that event and so ironically I started liking these cars. To my surprise I went online and found a site named: hyperspeed.com ((the website is no longer running) and coincidentally the owner looked like he lived in Tampa. (It was Randy George!)) The website hyperspeed.com had an amazing display of NA miatas with a bunch of spoiler kits, headlights, side mirrors and rare parts from Japan and it was awesome!! At the time I already owned a 91 silverstone miata so my love for miatas grew even more, and so I began modifying my ride. Years have passed now since the inception of hyperspeed which was a turning point in my life and my passion for miatas. Subsequently I felt in love with anotherroadster the Blue Potato, another sick ride back in the days and with time thanks to Peter (the owner of Blue Potato) I established a close connection with the staff of Rspeed. Thanks to the staff at Rspeed, I began building my previous and present roadster. The thing about me is that I have always been a fan of sleeper cars, for the most part never like cars with body kits. For my past and present project I wanted to combine a miata that was fast, a sleeper and with parts from Japan but mostly for the interior of the car. The 91 silverstone was nice but when I saw the NB I felt in love with it and so I bought one, a 2001 which is the present ride I have today. and I built it.

The Title of this thread and my view of life regarding build threads
The title of this thread, is the culmination of my build and dream made reality. I always like fast cars and driven and built a fast miata before (*the 91 silverstone) but I realized that building a car is a life journey that could last a long time and you either build the car or you let it go. In my point of view, the feeling of letting go especially when you are very close to finish a project is what prevents me from quitting as I understand I will regret this opportunity that might not come again in the future. Hopefully with your support and comments I motivate myself even more to finish the NB one day, and my dream will become reality. My dream is just to drive and race the car at the track, enjoy time together with my son and celebrate together the time effort I put into building this car for him.
