Fack, this all makes me glad I decided to just get something pre 75 for a project car and just have my ND mostly stock performance-wise.
Definitely some crazy perseverance
I put it on the lift today to start the turbo install. Will try to take pictures as it progresses.
Read the entire thread to see if I can figure out what all I have done to this car. Really wish PB had not killed my pictures. I wonder what some of those cool things that I took pictures of were.
Never got to try E85 with the Rotrex. Jackson Racing dropped the CARB legal Miata stuff to focus on the 86. Still need a differential. Did not realize that I started this car in 2013.
Looking for a 60's Japanese pickup for my next project. Don't want to do that CARB thing again.

Looking forward to seeing it run with a little CARBoost.
Pickup.. EV or K24Z3 + DCT?
CARB legal turbo...nice! I presume that means a Flyin Miata turbo kit?

Yes. Purchased almost 2 years ago. Had it coated and heat treated then tossed it on a shelf while I went through the CARB ordeal.
Spent some time trying to figure out which wire fried in my ABS install. Think I am going to skip that procedure and just redo the switched power wire. I know it is not working and easier to redo it than dig it out to find the bad spot.
Also got my new phone working with the stereo. Love the stereo in this car.

Cannot wait to see where mental goes next!!
Have not been a good build thread steward. Here are some current pictures, and all the missing Photobucket pictures can still be seen over on MT. (For people actually looking, https://www.miataturbo.net/general-m.../mental-80760/ )

After 10 years of ownership, I will be cutting it into smaller pieces such that the local recycler can haul it off.

I have a 69 Datsun 521 now. I have removed all the suspension from the frame in order to install Miata subframes, etc. I am not the first to do this. Current plan is a Honda K24Z3 with a BMW DCT. I love the idea of doing it electric... but it weighs LESS than a stripped NA Miata and I don't want to change that. California trucks are taxed by weight, and this one came in at 1950 lbs. Pretty crazy for a body on frame vehicle.

I have been following your build. I am thinking about handing it off to Renderos to move it along.
Final picture of my Miata. Drawn and quartered.
