LIGHTWEIGHT TURBOCHARGED 1991 MIATA “RED BEAST” 
THIS HAS BEEN MY PROJECT FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS AND IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON. THE CAR WAS BUILT AS AN EXPERIMENT TO SEE WHAT THE LIMITS OF HANDLING AND POWER WOULD BE ON A DIY BUDGET. IT IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE FASTEST (0-60 in 4.9 seconds) AUTOS ON THE ROAD @ 1900 POUNDS AND ~ 230 HP (TUNED DOWN FOR SAFETY). THE CAR IS TRACK READY BUT HAS ONLY SEEN A FEW AUTOCROSS AND DRAG RACES. I HAVE TAKEN HUNDREDS OF PICTURES OF THE PROJECT AND IT IS FEATURED ON THE WEB @ www.lightweightmiata.com.  20K MILES ON CRATE SHORTBLOCK & LOW COMP PISTONS REBUILT HEAD, 3 ANGLE VALVE JOB, PORTED AND POLISHED TORSEN REAR END WITH LATE MODEL SUBFRAME FLYIN’ MIATA LINK FULL REPLACMENT PROGRAMMABLE ECU WITH 550 INJECTORS DUAL FEED FUEL RAIL FRESHLY REBUILT AND COATED T25/28 HYBRID TURBO GREDDY TYPE-S BLOW OFF VALVE FLYIN’ MIATA A/A INTERCOOLER DEVIL’S OWN WATER INJECTION CUSTOM FREE FLOWING EXHAUST KYB AGX SHOCKS AND RACING SPRINGS HARD DOG ROLL BAR COMPETITION MOTOR MOUNTS NEW WATER PUMP, TIMING BELT, OIL PUMP LIGHT AND BALANCED FLYWHEEL JACKSON RACING STAGE 1 CLUTCH ALL METAL RADIATOR PARALLEL COOLING FANS STAINLESS BRAIDED BRAKE AND CLUTCH LINES AXXIS ULTIMATE BRAKE PADS TWO SETS OF STREET AND TRACK TIRES/WHEELS Currently has Kumho Ecsta V700 215/50R13's on it for autocross GRANT GT STEERING WHEEL, CUSTOM SHORT SHIFTER ROLL BAR CAMERA MOUNTS AND RACING HARNESS OVER 400 POUNDS OF WEIGHT REMOVED MOST OF THE ENGINE WORK WAS DONE IN THE PAST 20K MILES.
