What do you guys think? I'm looking at a Miata that's been completely gone through with loads of new parts and go fast bits, including a turbo. Will I regret this? Will it be less fun than my current car (which is pretty much stock)?
>>16664011
if its built by someone else I'd be worried about reliability.
>>16664011
Great idea anon! The other hair stylists at the salon will love it and you'll fit right in!
>>16664011
Why dont you do your own research? There is a forum dedicated to turbocharged Miata's.
I'm sure turbo Miata's are fun but I'd rather buy a bone stock Miata and turbo it myself personally.

Also there is a Miata general. You coulda used the catalog to find it but no you had to create your own thread.
super easy to turbo. theres literally a channel on youtube with how to do each step ghetto way and then to upgrade to megasquirt.

See I love that miata in the pic you posted! Clean, caged, meaty tires, probably handles great!

Not him but I drive a scooter and you're still a huge faggot for getting so triggered.
>>16664011
id say get it if you have nice weather because driving those things with the top up is HORRIBLE, thank god all it takes is a bicep curl to pull it back up.
>>16667666
its the same one in the videos watch it.
>>16664011
Donno about that.
I'd get a '13 ft86 and put a pTuning turbo with water meth injection into it.
More space. Have back seats for storage (lol Boone fit into them), have a functional trunk.
Also. Fuck convertibles. I hate that shit.

LOL'd at this thread
Right now you can make 300whp with minor mods, the miata could blow up at this point while the GT can go hundreds of thousands of miles if you dont let the oil get dirty and destroy some valves
Turboing some piece of junk is a literal pipe dream, it isnt easy or cheap, and it aint fun to fix.
If you gotta have a turbo and better handling, then do it to the GT.
Realistic problems with the miata

>he will say, "NEEDS NOTHING, CAR IS GUD"
People get rid of shit like this when its a ticking time bomb or halfway fucked
you're gonna have to deal with a complete after market fuel system to support the power, if the rest of the car even handles it.
Probably will destroy clutches and transmissions/rear ends once you start making decent HP

IIRC the NA Mata engine is literally a de-turboed turbo engine, which is why it makes such cap power.
>>16672349
>>100hp 4 cyl thats not built
wrong
>>16670049
a '90 miata and a new FRS arent even in the same price point.... what are you on about.
