Default DAUSTIN's "went full gay" thread

Well, title says it.

I went to the wonderful, glittery side of fabulous with lots of jizz and unicorns and shit.

Picked up a '99 Nardi Torino Miata with a hair under 140,000 miles. Time to get serious about some autocross and having fun with a car that can actually use it's traction wheels.

Planned over the coming next few weeks is:

Centric premium rotors
Stoptech street performance pads
Ford Motorcraft unicorn jizz for the transmission
Redline 75w90 for the differential
Timing belt
Water pump
Cam seals
Crank seal
Valve cover gasket
Accessory belts
Thermostat
Plugs/Wires

Spring time will probably be a new top and some Star Spec ZII's for a fresh autocross season in E Street.

Looks like a nice little NB. Pretty clean looking especially for the area and mileage.

Mind if I ask what you paid? I'm always curious.

Also, any plans for forced induction?

Sweet ! You will love driving around in it the next few months. Top down, snot rolling down the mustache, scarf flowing in the clear bright sun shining days of PA.

I can't spell the whole state, the education system is shit here.

I had to drive about two hours away for this one after a light search for a few months, but I scored this one for $2800 cash can drove it home.

Best part was absolutely zero rust and the same owner from 2001 through early 2014 and meticulously maintained.

Forced induction is not on my immediate radar. I've driven a tuned MSM, and while an absolute hoot to drive, I want to leave it naturally aspirated and learn to drive it faster around the corners. If I went to turbo or supercharger, I'm automatically bumped from E Street to Super Street Mod... and no longer competitive.

All projects done except fluids.

New timing belt
New thermostat
New valve cover gasket
New crank seal
New cam seals
New spark plugs
New spark plug wires
New coolant
New Stoptech pads
New Centric rotors
New rear calipers
New all season tires
New autocross tires

Doing the transmission oil with Ford Motorcraft unicorn jizz, differential oil with Redline MT-90, and engine oil Monday in prep for busting the car's autocross cherry next weekend.

It's amazing how much better the car runs and drives with some proper maintenance.
