Old Introduce Yourself Thread!

[JDM88]

Welcome everyone to MX5ATLanta!!

This should be the final version of the website barring updates and visual changes, but there shouldn't be any more major changes. And with that, let me introduce myself to everyone.

My name is Jack and I own a 1996 Miata. Not much done in terms of mods, which expand to a Harddog Rollbar, some lovely Azeni's and gold spray paint!

Anyway, here are some pictures!

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b304/NismoSER/miata%20hospital%20shoot/mar10183.jpg

So I know a few of you already went through this, but if you're feeling up for it, post up and introduce yourself to everybody!

[Roadster]

I hadn't seen that second pic until now, Jack. That one's money.

I'm Tommy. Had a somewhat hardcore 1.6 for a while and made the mistake of selling it for a....*sigh*, a Mustang.

But then I realized the error of my ways and am waiting for a decent 1.8 to pop up locally.

The new forum looks great Jackie.

[FlameProofCandle]

Cheers mate. I'm weighing up all the security pro's and con's of mybb compared to vbulletin, mainly trying to figure out why vbulletin costs $180 before I go on to Miata.net and start gathering members. I really hope to have some stickers done by the next autox to really get ahold of the Atlanta region Miata.

-jack

[FlameProofCandle]

if anyone didn't notice, jack posted under my account name.

this aside, i'm mitch. i currently own a 1997 altima. unfortunately can't say i have never had a miata, but ask anyone who knows me and they can tell you i want one desperately. until the great day i purchase my miata i'll be abusing my altima on backroads and hopefully at some autox's.

[simontibbett]

I'm Simon. I own a 90 (1.6) with the following: Megasquirt PNP ECU, HKS filter, AFM delete, relocated intake, header, cat delete, Tein springs, KYB AGX shocks, OPM strut bar, seam welded chassis, weld in roll bar, Corbeau seat, 5 point harness, A/C and PWS gone, all metal bushings, Flyin Miata sway bar in the front, some other things.

Miatas FTW

I am going to put a full cage in soon and run ITU next season I hope. Or just run test days lol.

A couple pics lol

Welcome mate, that fireball picture is great. I've never actually been for a ride in your car, that needs to change next time!

[caseyfoster]

Haha that fireball is badass. What makes your car do that? Catless?

[thx712517]

My name's Kevin and I've got a problem... Oh wait, different forum. I drive a 2001 MX-5 prepped for C-Stock. RB front sway and GHG endlinks, Koni adjustables, multiple mufflers lying around (three at the moment, I'll have four soon enough) and very little else. One of these days I might bump the car up to CSP and go crazy on the engine, but I doubt it.

Hey Taylor nice car, did you paint your stockers? Pretty sick looking if you did that yourself. Welcome to the site.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Welcome, good to see some real drivers on board!

[metalman]

Hi, I am Metalman, as most folks know I have a boatload of Miatas and parts. I have an addiction. :D I prefer early model NAs but heres one NB I own. It may be on the market soon...ya never know.

[erkinwinder]

My name is Evan. Live in Winder. Have a 90 with small mods, greedy turbo and rx7 intercooler and bipes. Was dyno'd a little over a year ago at 202hp at the rear wheels. Oh and have bought all my parts from metalman (including the car and the turbo kit)

I still claim i can beat simon in a race but we will never find out, and thats mainly because i find endless reasons not to find out. my current reason is i dont have a roll bar. oh and i dont really thing im in the atl area. its like almost 2 hrs away. but i like to drive.

Yeah I've bought a boatload from Kurt as well. Great guy.

Guys, I'm officially back in a Miata as of tonight. Picked up a 91 BRG that was on Craigslist for a matter of hours. Has some hail damage but otherwise in great shape. Mayhem to commence immediately.

If anybody has use for a really nice tan leather interior, the entire set will be for sale shortly. ;)

I'm Nathan and i drive a white 1990 with KYB AGX shocks, lowering springs, Go Miata strut tower brace, Racing beat rear control arm brace, and Panasport wheels. I've just started racing autox on my crappy all season tires, so I'm just trying to have a good time right now. Hopefully i'll get some good tires in the near future.

God damn it why rip out the interior! How much weight is it going to save you?!

[Otto]

Hey Taylor nice car, did you paint your stockers? Pretty sick looking if you did that yourself. Welcome to the site.

thanks, yea i painted them myself, just one can of duplicolor bronze wheel paint and it turned out quite well, have to prep them well, clean well, light sanding and plenty of light coats, i have two sets of 99 14's, the bronze ones with Azenis and the other cheap sumitomos for just putting miles on

[ToddN]

I'm Todd and I have a black 95 with a few mods and planning a turbo in the fall. Ground controls, sway bars, HDHCHTDD, new motor with 70 miles on it now. Plus some MetalMan specials.

[Lonnie D]

Hey everyone I am Lonnie and I have a stock NA 1990 with 87k original miles. My miata is my DD and I also have a 240sx with a swapped turbo motor which is more of the project car than the miata, but I love to drive the miata.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Welcome fella's. Lonnie you sound like Casey in terms of cars!

[miata5620]

hey i am robert just got my 10AE miata about a month ago and been loving it. traded in my mustang gt for it and cant get over how they handle even stock like mine is, for now atleast.

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

It's fantastic to say the least. And now today I go to mod it!

Thanks alot for registering!

That's a great picture Grant, have you got some sort of panda scheme going on with the white one?

I'm Steve Richardson and live in the Newnan/Peachtree City area.

I am the husband of Sawyer, she will introduce herself on here I'm sure! :D

[Sawyer]

^^^Haha you beat me to it!

Hey guys!
My name is Laurabeth. My husband (MeFryRice) and I saw this on another forum and decided to sign up!
I live in Peachtree City, Ga and just picked up my 2005 Lava Orange Mazdaspeed Miata about 2 weeks ago. Before that I had a 2003 Sunlight Silver NB.

Glad to finally have an Atlanta forum for us roadsters!

I don't have any proper pictures of the MSM yet, so here is one taken at a local meet.

http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h291/snowbrdpenguin/2005%20Lava%20Orange%20Mazdaspeed%20Miata/Meet7-19.jpg

Welcome to the site Sawyer, glad to see you and your husband joining the website.

Thanks!
It's been a gun toy so far! :D

[conekiller]

Yo... Rick here.... :)[attachment=11]

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

That looks great Rick. I think I now fall into STS2 with my last set of mods, I was planning on staying in e-stock for a while but I couldn't resist the mod bug :D

Is that Marine or Laguna Blue? I don't see that colour much, if it all.

[conekiller]

Its a repaint... its pretty close to the color of the Mx3 of the day..

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

I like it, it reminds me of early 90's race car colours. I can't quite put my finger on it, I think I might need to get my old copy of Gran Turismo out :lol:

[Oblio]

Hi all. I'm Chris I've got some friends that go up to the mountains but would love to autoX some.

[Lonnie D]

Welcome fella's. Lonnie you sound like Casey in terms of cars!


Casey posted this on 240atlanta.com that is how I heard about it, so I guess we are in similar situations.

[dbright007]

Howdy folks,
Great idea for a local club! P'Tree just didn't do it for me.
I DD an Rx8, but the track bug bit me and decided a paid-off second car was the way to go. Found a 97 that had been sitting for a couple years with a torn top, (and a mystery box of parts) the owner sold for a great price since it hadn't run and was full of leaves and pollen. I decided to give it life again.

It came with a Brainstorm Rollbar. Put on new top, All fluids are now drained and switched to high temp/redline etc stuff, HP+ pads, RB intake, unresonated pipe, single tip catback, Exedy stage 1 clutch, Act prolite fly, mystery f+r sways (from the box), Koni adjustables, RB springs, NGK, nice little removable Alpine amp, Voodoo knob. GTE performance align, and Mazcare does most of my work.
Whoever had owned it put 17" Kosei K1's on w/Kuhmo MX. The wagon wheels were ok for a bit, but I pick up my new Black Enkei RPF-1's wrapped in Hankook RS-2's tomorrow. w00t!

Building and changing as I learn. About 14 track days and one autox newb school so far.

Dano

[FE3tMX5]

Here's my 90. Bought in 96 as the cheapest Miata in the classifieds at the time. Seller needed cash pronto and the car is fairly rough after she did a crash-bang-whirl on 285. But rough makes it easy to bang on. :lol:

[FE3tMX5]

that's the good side- it's in better shape than my 99 race car was :D

holy **** that's one of the best looking Miata I've seen! Brilliant colour scheme, similar to the legendary Mazda 787B right?

[FE3tMX5]

Yes- inspired by for sure, though there are subtle differences. That's a 70s Ford (think mustang/fiesta) orange diamond on an 80s Audi/VW green. The ragged orange is just vinyl sheet we sprayed in the booth, cut and applied. My driving school instructor told me, "If you can't drive fast, at least look fast." There's definitely some truth to that. Even though we didn't stand a chance against the factory front runners, we got a lot of publicity/coverage. :D

What kind of cars were you running against?

[FE3tMX5]

Honda America started out with the civic si and then went to the RSX when it came out. Hyundai had tiburons. Others: mx6, integra, protege, olds quad4, talon (na)...

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Spraying vinyl... gives me ideas :lol:

where would one obtain vinyl on such scale?

[FE3tMX5]

Any sign shop would have it- but my guess is you could find it online for way less than any of those places would sell it to you.

[BFH miata]

I'm Scott, I lived in the ATL for 7 years, now I live in Athens. I still manage to make it to the big city for events when I can. I also support metalman in his efforts to sell miata parts.

I have a triple black 1995 miata, resprayed with the Subaru black with a subtle gold flake in it. It had a turbo in it briefly, but I'm back to na and the turbo is going up for sale.

Welcome!
The NA looks really clean!

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Scott that look brilliant. I spend a huge amount of time in Athens when I'm at UGA. We've definitely got to meet up sometime. I'm pretty convinced I need one of those lips now... getting ahold of one is another matter.

[BFH miata]

I grew up in Athens, went to UGA and then moved to Atlanta for a job. Ever since I left Athens I wanted to move back, it is a great town.

I picked up my R package lip from a friend who upgraded to another lip. It was scratched up, so I sanded it down and repainted it with black bumper paint before installing it.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Lee and I own an '06 Touring, Sunlight Silver. The mods are listed in my signature. The picture a few posts back of Oblio's green NB has my car just behind his. That was BEFORE the stripes.

It is great to be a part of a new group. I look forward to getting together for some great times!

Check it....

[Gotsol]

Hello everyone:

My name is Patrick D'Auria. I co-drive a turbo Miata in SM2 with the Atlanta Region SCCA. I have some pictures I'll upload later.

These little cars are amazing! The car I co-drive is owned by Jerrey Hoffman, owner of DIYAutotune.com His car is set up really well and is super fast. I won SM2 both times I drove it.

I believe the specs are as follows

Plung N Play DIYAutotune Computer
250 wheel HP
1.6 L
T25 Turbo

Konis Race valved shocks
700lbs F 500lbs rear springs

996 Rims with Hankook R comps


I look forward to being a part of this community.

Hi all, I'm Wayne. I have a turbo'd '96 (http://gtf.org/asana/miata/miata.htm). Most of the stuff in that link is accurate. It's stepped up to shortened and revalved konis with 650#f/433#r springs. And reinforced sway bar brackets after the big bar tore out the stock ones. heh. It's about the only thing I know of to make the ****ty Atlanta traffic fun. :P

Here's the car a couple years ago when it had the stock ground control package springs on it.

Welcome Wayne and Paul, glad to have you aboard. Two very nice cars.

[AxleJohnson]

Hey guys, my name is Robert, I know Jack through Casey, I have been getting into Autocross lately, maybe a little too much, just thought I would support Jack's new website.

[JDM88]

Welcome along mate! How many have you gotten to recently?

[roadster1]

Hello all my name is Ben. (Sorry roadster didn't see your name soon enough, will try and change mine). I recently gave up my Harley to add two more wheels for a change. I bought a used '08 in May but now I am wishing I had an older model I could do more mods. If it gets to me bad enough there might be a slightly used 08 on the market. Thanks MeFryRice for the Racing Beat. Hope your boss was OK with the deal. Still haven't had a chance to put it on but hopefully before the weekend. Look forward to meeting everyone and doing so rides!!

[JDM88]

Welcome Ben, what would like the name changed to? And changing from a Harley to a Miata... fantastic move! A few people on here know my feelings on Harley's! :lol:

Any pictures?

[CaveRacing]

Look forward to meeting everyone and doing so rides!!


Hey Ben. How about getting that Racing Beat installed and then heading out with me and the S2kAtlanta folks for a drive Saturday morning. See the posts here: http://www.mx5atlanta.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=78&page=2

So far, I think I may be the only one MX5 from this forum going. So come along!!

Not really , though we were hoping the two cars would "breed' and produce something striped!!

I actually thought briefly of swapping trunk lids and hoods while the wiofe was out of town last week but it was too hot to mess with

Hey CaveRacing I am headed to Trussville, AL Friday to the Tech Day Saturday at the Mazda dealer in Trussville. I want to get a good look under these things so I will know how to get to stuff. Thanks for the invite but it will have to be another time. Right now I have the stock muffler off and hope to mount the RacingBeat tomorrow. Can't wait to hear it, I hope I like it???

Hey JDM88 I don't know what to change it too. Tried looking around the site last night but didn't see how to change it. I guess I will have to sign up again under a new name. Anyone know how to help me change this one without having to sign in again?
Pics, tried downloading but I guess they are too big. I also need to learn how to re-size my pics to download.

Excellent. I'm surprised I haven't seen you around. Well, if you don't have any plans this saturday, I'm joining the s2kAtlanta group for a drive. Everyone is meeting at the Chevron just north of the N. GA Outlets in Dawsonvilleat 9am with a 9:30 departure. You should come along. If you are able, we could meet and drive up there together.

Indeed, your NB looks ridiculously sick, not quite sure what it is about it. Almost seems like a pimped up Suzuki Cappuccino.

[redjeff]

My turn. My name's Jeff and I used to have red hair. Bright, screaming *** orange hair, but old age and aircraft hydraulic fluid has slowly turned to what I have left to a nice light gray.
I've had my car for about 7 years. I had always wanted a small roadster convertible and finally in 2001 I bought my 1990 Red Miata off of Ebay. The only bad part was that the car was located in Bellingham, Washington. I caught a Delta flight out to SEA/TAC and spent the night at a lovely Super8 hotel. In the morning I took a bus up to Bellingham to pick up the car.
3 days later I had the car back in Lawrenceville.

Welcome!
What are your plans for the project car?

[redjeff]

Not too sure what to do with the project car. My oldest son has been helping me work on it, if he can come up with a small amount of cash, I'll sell it to him. I may rip out the air conditioning and power steering. I just need to stop procrastinating and do something with it.
The previous owners shaved the door handles and installed a window switch in the trunk. The only way to get into it was to open the trunk and hit the switch, not very fun when it's raining. I may put some door poppers on or I'll buy some new doors off of Metalman. I just need to get it running first.

BTW, I'm really diggin on your MS's Lava Orange paint.

Hello all, picked up an 08 Marble White GT 6MT over the weekend from Oblio. I'll give them a thumbs up at Jim Ellis Mazda of Chamblee. They put up with my crap and delivered the car i wanted.

This is my first miata and i'm enjoying it 110%. I've owned plenty of other cars (Rx8, 07 civic si sedan, 07 VW GTI, Scion Tc and some trucks) but none that were quite as fun as this one.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Hey everyone, I'm Eric, I have a flared and turbo'd '95 R-Package. A lot of you have probably seen the car either in person or on various forums, and some Miata product websites. I'm happy to have yet another forum to read during the day. lol

About the car, it's pretty heavily modified, definitely past the point of no return, but it is (well, normally is) a very reliable daily driver. Suspected hydrolock after I reinstalled cleaned injectors bent a rod in cyl. #1, so a mild build (forged rods, tri-coated OEM pistons, and ARP hardware) is in progress.

The only thing I'll want to do to it (haha, hopefully) after it's back on the road is get a 6-speed transmission, Enthuza 3", and some body work and repaint.

I work for Yamaha as a Materials Controller, basically ensuring that parts are coming in on time so that they can build everything. It's a nice change from my recent job with AutoNation as an Inventory Manager, as I now work a set 40 hours a week and get the weekends off instead of 60+ hours a week with maybe Sunday off.

oh wait......

[leadfoot_mf]

Here's my 90. Bought in 96 as the cheapest Miata in the classifieds at the time. Seller needed cash pronto and the car is fairly rough after she did a crash-bang-whirl on 285. But rough makes it easy to bang on. :lol:



hey rob how you been?

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

What about an introduction yourself mr leadfoot, welcome!

[leadfoot_mf]

oops i had one but when i posted it it was gone.

my name is tim, i have been in the miata community for ten years and i am a miataholic.
i had my first taste of the miata back in 90. i remember the first one i ever saw. how it smelled. how i knew all i wanted to do was drive it.

time passed by i bought fast cars trying to forget all about the little miata. till one day my heart and soul mustang was taken from me by an elderly lady that should not have been driving.

as the mustang was bleeding to death on the road. i realized i needed a replacement, a track car something fun and cheap. i looked at porsches, mustangs. but nothing fit the bill.

then i remebered a track day at Talladega. the little miata that was zoom zooming around the track with the same times as my track preped stang.

i went on the net doing research on miata.net and was told to get a 94 or newer miata. that week i found my car at jim ellis. a 94 base with 72k miles for 6700.00 sold. at the time the best deal on a 94-95 was close to 10k.

i joined peach tree miata and went to all the meetings. i hung out at rspeed on sat mornings. i met some of the coolest people ever and have had some of the best times of my life all because bob hall inspired a japanese car company to bring back a classic.

since the day i bought my miata i have not missed a single MATG meet.

i am still driving the same miata i bought in 98 too most peoples amazement.

it has all the usual mods and still runs like a champ. well more like rocky in rocky 9.

[addi]

My unofficial intro was on the washing/cleaning thread the other day. I suppose to be PC and all I should make it offical here.
So hi all you atl miata owners. :clap:
If I'm completely honest I'm here for selfish reasons. For the past year I've been keeping my fingers crossed that some local owners will organize a tech day...one that offers a chance to do some higher difficulty jobs that are over this rookies level of expertice to attempt alone, e.g., timing belt, shock replacement, air intake mods. Plus I think along with getting to know some good folks I'd just love the chance to pick the brains of other drivers about general maintenence questions and things I like about their cars. I tried contacting the Peachtree Club a few times and nada back from them. I posted my interest over at miata.net in the SE region...and nothing once more.
But enough of my whining. Great to have a local site to come to. Thanks!

[metalman]

The peachtree club is more about gift shops and leaf looking then cars.
You will likely have issues doing automotive related items with them anyway, so be glad you didnt hear back. :lol:

There are a number of mechanically savy people on this board...and ones who know Miatas fairly well too. Welcome.

[RotorNutFD3S]

+1 to what he said!
Welcome to the board!

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Welcome mate! There's plenty of us on here who've done far too much to these cars. So I don't think you'll be having any trouble any time soon. We should organise a tech day at someone's place who has a lift. Would be quite cool.

Yeah... I think it's safe to say most of us would not fit in with the Peachtree Miatas:lol:

Would be great if that could be done. Thanks to all for the welcome here. I've got a good sized brain that's low on mechanical knowledge, and I'd love to meet others here sometime that could put up with all my questions...

My name is Chris. I just bought a 1991 Miata. I also own a 04 dodge dakota. I'm new to driving a 4-cylinder car, but after hanging out with 240's and s2k's i decided to get one. Hopefully being able to make it faster. I live in dallas, and go to school in kennesaw, was hoping to find locals that new a bit on what i can do to make it fly!
lol

Welcome to the dark side! We have cookies.

[Doppelgänger]

Well, if you have any questions on building up a turbo kit or anything, there are several of us on here that have good knowledge about it! Welcome.

[GraffitiPanda]

welcome!

and

Don't mind the smell...

[Doppelgänger]

yeah, Nick has a habit of not taking showers.

[Acro]

Yeah... I think it's safe to say most of us would not fit in with the Peachtree Miatas:lol:


I was actually a member of Peachtree Miata for about 1.5 years. Fun group of people to talk to, but as far as doing car related activities, they aren't all that interested. I have some good friends in there, just not fast enough :p

I haven't really done a proper intro either >_< Name is William. 21 and now live in Alpharetta. I drive a Sunburst yellow and black autocross spec 94 miata. Bought it about 6 months ago, and love it. I've met alot of you guys at meets, but figured I should prollo put a proper intro up XD

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

Welcome Acro :lol:

[MoD_Scotty]

I figured I should go ahead and introduce myself, even though I've already been posting everywhere else!

Anyway, my name's Scott. I just got a Miata a few weeks ago, but I helped my bro swap the motor in his Miata last year, as well as the suspension, rear end, etc. So I've got some time wrenching on these things. Before I got the Miata, I was driving a 240SX that I had swapped a sr20det into (it was the 4th sr20 swap I'd done). I also have a Mirage Turbo hatchback that's about to get a JDM Galant VR4 RS engine, complete with 16G turbo. It should be pretty friggin nasty.

About me...I'm back in college, after serving in the USAF for 8 years as a linguist. I play bass in a metal band (the link is in my sig). Oh yeah, and I live in Augusta, but I try to make it out to ATL as often as I can.

[Sawyer]

Welcome!!

Glad to have another contributing poster on board! :cool:

Welcome! I don't think I've seen your car before, looks pretty purposeful.

[wildfire0310]

A few things have changed since I took those photos, as I no longer have a GV lip, thanks to some tires on the interstate. That and the 002 should be gone soon.

[Roadster]

Hang on a sec...what color is that car? The back half, at least.

Don't tell me I'm not the only gutted/hacked up '91 BRG on the boards anymore...

Welcome. :P

[RotorNutFD3S]

I think I know you... :lol:

[Doppelgänger]

I've seen that car before.....:whistle:

[MeFryRice]

I want to say I've seen it before but I dunno where.

[Doppelgänger]

I wonder who did the black paint on the front of the car:cool:

Bryan, you should bring it over so we can do something else to the paint for ****s and giggles....

Right now I am more worried about getting the 1.8 finished but even that is really low on my list. Roof over my head is more important.

But I do need to come hang out sometime.

You have, at the Mellow Mushroom meet, you also meet me a few other time. Last time was at Eric's B-day party. I was riding my buddy's 250 ninja as to save on gas.
