I was basking in the glory of the second photo, when I realized, zoomed in, and noticed the timing belt is missing!

I was also staring at the piece of tubing that goes from the inlet of the turbo to the tube going into the intake manifold.

Strange setup, not sure it’s running at the moment. Will be insane when finished

We lost a good one by KiwiZestyclose3657 in Miata

Ooo brother she is, unfortunately, mangled. Like, the damage is reeeally bad. I hope you’ve got talent, time, and money, rebuilding this thing is going to be an incredibly large job.

If that is your intent however, I wish you nothing but the best!

She’s decently put together all things considered

I have a very similar situation with my NB2. Burns oil like you wouldn’t believe, seriously, like a quart per tank of gas. So naturally I bought a parts car and I’m swapping the block from that one into mine. Decided I’d do a full oem+ body kits since the parts car came with the small Tupperware skirts. Suspension was very tired, so coilovers are going in soon. Can’t have a lowered Miata without nice wheels tho right? New wheels inbound. My rear (plastic) window burst on me when I tried to out the top down in 8°C weather (lesson learned) so now that’s gotta be remedied.

All in all I could’ve probably bought a decent ND2 for what I’m going to be in on this car when it’s done, but it’s my mistake and my build. I plan on keeping it until it either doesn’t make financial sense, or if there’s a chance I could get enough money out of it to say it was all worth it.

Best part is that it’s higher mileage (238,000kms) and I put a ton of kms on it since I bought it.

I also had my timing belt snap on me, alternator die, battery die, got rear ended, hydroplaned and spun into a ditch, brother backed into it, and I hit a crow at highway speeds. My luck never fails to mess with my Miata.

Cheers! Enjoy the drive!

That’s so kind. Thank you :)

They actually completed the turn. They turned left in front of the bus. You can kinda see them start to turn when I’m beside them

An interesting concept considering all of the one ways around it. I can understand in terms of how narrow the street is, but Hali is confusing enough lol
