My Touge Miata!

1997 Miata - Jackson Racing Supercharger, MSD Sebring boost Controller Igniton, Dual electric fans, nothing else known... Now here is the story, Ok dad comes home with a miata and say here its your and i was like ok. The day started out as my dads super mechanic guru w/e you wanna call him trys to smog the car and the smog guy tells him it barely passed smog why and the smogger told him you have a turbo (when we bought it for the dealership we thought it was stock). so my dads guy pops opens the hood and says no... thats a supercharger. He then brings it over to my dad and says this will be a good demo car for the dealership and my dad said yea we will keep it instead of selling it. My dad brings it home for me so we can turn into a demo car for the dealership etc... Now here are some pics.

Yesterday i got a 4 new sets of wheels/tires for checp from one of my friends that works at america tire co. I also put the shift knob from my 240sx into the Miata since i need a new starter for my 240sx. but yea this is a great car its has good acceleration and it has around 165 hp to the wheels, comes stock with 110-115. I plan on getting A grill to prtoect the radiator for now cus its pretty low and rocks just love flying to the radiator. Then i will save up for some coilovers for it. Overall i love it.

That's my friend Gary, he owns TrackDogRacing. He has a MP62 Supercharger with a Air-to-Air Intercooler. Hey Pho, if you need an intercooler talk to him!

My miata is a 1.8 said it right under the hood im gonna lower it with some coilovers and i got a really good deal on the wheel/tires so i got it, i dont think im gonna sell the 240sx cus my dad drives it everyday to work. We got the miata for 4k at wholesale. My dad owns a car dealership so if anyone needs a car we can get one for you just not ones we have to import from anwhere but the us just pm if your looking for something and you live in the bay area.

DAMN, $1295 for a intercooler. I could get a really nice coilover set up unless you can help me get some discounts of about 400 haha

For kits check www.flynmiata.com or www.racingmazda.com They're 100x better than the gimp *Censored**Censored**Censored* greddy. Or you can go my route, I have a HKS manifold with a GT25, Starion Intercooler, and LINK ECU
