    Ruination of a Once Fine Lady: Now with much less displacement

    Well, it's not really a miata, but close enough. I'm a whore and I like posting pictures of my car everywhere.

    I had a miata for 4 years and I still own the chassis, but it's in a pretty sad state currently. It will be revived someday, but I'm on to new things for now.

    200whp 170ftlbs turbo, super low, dumb stuff, tons of fun.



    New chassis as I received it:



    Started buying a shitload of parts for it and then got to work

    Painted the interior, off white, with raspberry prism flake and pink pearl







    Painted the wheel faces to match



    Then I started parting out my old car. Decided to take this sweet thing out of it.



    Then we made one of these (and a few extra )





    So I could do this



    TII transmission


    And then it happened: 1.6L of Pure fury



    Custom Turbo manifold, AN lines everywhere, V mount shit, etc etc





    Mounted electric MR2 power steering pump




    Worked on my interior

    S14 dash in an FC with defi/whatever gauges




    One off maziora steering wheel from 2001 tokyo auto salon, middle finger shift knob, denim wrapped dash, brand new zeta III, willians harness, etc etc etc





    Stance ***



    Wheel whore, set of Panasport G7, Set of work S2R, pair of CR Kai, all 17"





    Where it sits right now, sort of








    Should start this week after a year and a half of building, finishing the wiring tonight and remember kids

    I was wondering when this would pop up around these parts. I love the absolute troll of a motor in this car. Hats off to you, sir.

    That even sounds gnarly as fuck.

    good job.

    But I think you have much MORE displacement. lol

    1.6 >1.3

    Maybe it had a 4-rotor before the 1.6

    It used to have an LS1 in it. It's George Marstanovic's old chassis.

    Anyway He went out and helped me tune the car the other night, 18psi and E85 should be in the 280-320 neighborhood

    haha thanks dude.
