Got this car when I decided I didn't need the 4-door functionality of the WRX. I wanted something small with 2 doors that handled well and had a ton of modding potential, so the Miata was the obvious choice. I intended to get a Turboed Miata, but that fell through so the next day, I found this '96 M with 100k miles that was in really good shape and I went and bought it. Coming from a turbocharged car, I was a bit skeptical considering it doesn't have a high power or torque output. But once I got a chance to drive it, I was sold. It's not fast (although it's not as slow as I expected), but it's a monster on the curvy mountain roads where I live. The plan is to do a turbo build. I've started buying the parts and it should be boosted sometime this summer.

Update: Sold it and never turbocharged it. Oh well
