    hey everybody, my names Brad, I'm 19 years old, from the states, and about a month ago I purchased a 1990 mazda miata from one of my friends

    [​IMG]

    and in just under a week I managed to put it right through a mailbox and am now facing a reckless op charge :nod:

    not too bad, learned my lesson to keep drifting on the track though...

    anyways, after a few weeks of debating if I wanted to sell the car or not I've decided to keep it. So let the drift build begin.

    The goal here is a 1.6 turbo drift miata without breaking my bank account :smokin:


    Plans - (order of importance)

    *megasquirt ecu (ordering tonight or tomorrow)
    *have a weapon r air intake thats going in tomorrow
    *straight pipe from the cat for now
    *coilovers
    *various turbo parts (probably not ebay parts but no promises)
    *paint
    *wheels
    *drift drift drift

    using this thread to document my build all support, suggestions, and advice welcome :wave:

    Needs an adaptor for the afm but it should be here today so.

    Also ordered the mega squirt diypnp and some nice new rx8 fuel injectors

    Decided to go with a wrx td04 turbo

    Any idea where I can get a custom manifold / dp?? I emailed begi and Abe at artery but am open to anything

    Edit :
    found a kid in the uk to make me a custom manifold and dp

    Shopping list for right now

    - inter cooler / piping
    - bov
    - gauge panel and gauges
    - wideband o2 sensor

    Manifold is gonna take 2-3 weeks to be finished so I'm hoping to have all my parts in place so when get the manifold I can bolt it all in and go
