  • LSX Turbo miata from scratch.

    I have a 91 miata that i purchased off my boss for $1500 as a rolling shell with some goodies on it. Already had 949 racing wheels wrapped in Hankook RS-3's. Also included a Sparco sprint 5 racing seat, Bilstein coilovers with QA1 springs and stainless brake lines.

    When I purchased it.



    I then started stripping it down and eventually sold off the coilovers and seat along with selling the wheels as I had some Advan RG-2's to throw on for track wheels.











    A good LOL





    Towed the car to our new shop location. We needed more space.

    Picked up some evo 8 Recaro's in perfect condition for $300 bucks. Might use them, not sure yet.

          Road course mostly. I know a v8 in a 2100lb car is already enough. But I decided what the hell, why not turbo it and leave it on a low boost setting for the track. Then say if I want to go to the strip I can bump up boost and go have fun there or on the streets. I am by no means the first to do this. But this is our 40th LS swapped miata.
