microfiz's 1991 Mazda Miata


Here's my engine bay. I have a used Sebring supercharger that I've bought from a Miata afficionado in Florida. It still puts out a healthy 6psi, but it sounds like a bad bearing at idle. I also bought a used shock tower brace to stiffen the chassis.

This is my cam cover after 8 hours of polishing. Looks gratifying but I'll never do it again.

I just finished polishing my supercharger manifold. Easier than the cam cover, but not as pretty.

I painted (injected) the recessed lettering in red (I wanted blue but I didn't have any blue paint around).
A friend gave me a spark plug cover. Like it?

As of 11/21/05, I repainted my cross tube and polished my intake manifold. Also removed all the faux braided Stainless steel lines (so rice)

My interior upgrade consists of:
a) Momo Race steering wheel replacement
b) Voodoo shift knob
c) polished aluminum vent rings
d) chrome shifter ring (guess what car I got it from)
e) boost gauge and A/F ratio meter installed underneath my cheap deck. I didn't want to install a pod because I wanted to be a little more discrete.
f) white gauge face for the instrument cluster... perhaps the most useless purchase in my opinion.

I'm not too sure I like the looks of my car in its current incarnation. I appreciate the fact that it gets a lot of looks because of its unique appearance, but I do miss the classic and purposeful lines of a stock Miata. Maybe I'll buy another one?
