How I learned to stop worrying and love the MX-5

[Dave737]

When I first got this car it reminded me of my High School days and my Triumph Spitfire(only more reliable). I thought it would be fun for couple of years at the most and than I would sell it. But that all changed when I did a basic service to the car. I went to change out the air cleaner but instead I pulled the leads out of MAF. I did a internet search to find out how to put the pins back into the MAF and came across Revlimiter.com. Sharka blew me away. I knew I was screwed. My car needed to look more like that, but that wasn't in the budget. I talked the wife into 100 american pesos a month for the car. How could I do a build thread? Soooooo boring, one update every three months or so. That's what I thought. Well I've had the car four years now and it has come a long way. I should have made a build thread all along just to keep a record of the progress.
I did post updates to my car from time to time on various threads, I'll try to go back and find some of them.
