Burnt Miata Pics

[miata619drifter]

well before it burned anyway. here are some pics i found lying around of my old miata from 2 years ago

these are pics from Battle of the Imports in Fontana (California Speedway)...i know this is a drifting forum...that car would have been awesome for drifting...if it hadn't burned!

That car:
1992 Miata
GReddy turbo kit
Spearco intercooler core with end tanks done by RPM from the south bay (i dont know if they're still around)
aluminum i/c pipes
Vortech FMU
upgraded fuel pump (i think my brother got it from moss motors)
crower mild cams
ACT clutch
MSD DIS-2 Ignition
LSD rear end from a junkyard
GReddy profec-b boost controller
GReddy Type-S BOV
3 inch custom piping from the cat back (big help)
magnaflow muffler
Flyin Miata springs (less weight transfer=better launches)
Autopower rollbar

trailer fresh...

spearco intercooler and super trick "take-out-the-turn-signal" cold air intake

call that big RPM sticker "ricey" all you want but free parts are free parts!

[miata619drifter]

if you want to know that cars time's were:

8.6's in the 1/8th mile

13.3's consistently with occasional 13.28's and 13.29's in the 1/4 mile

this was at 15psi

more spearco action...

Nah,the sticker isn't ricey.How did the car go up in flames though? You can't just say a beautiful Miata burned without telling the story.

i blew a head gasket, which pressurized the whole oil system, which blew out the dip stick, which got oil on the turbo, which caught fire

i didnt have a fire extinguisher with me, so the car burned (all the way through the so-called "firewall") from the engine to halfway through the interior by the time a friend showed up with a fire extinguisher

when i first parked the car after thinking i had only blown a head gasket, the paint on the hood was bubbling! i opened the hood and...fire!

Only the one burned.What happened to your Miata is one of those worst case scenarios that you never think could ever happen,pretty wild.It was a nie Miata though,you know how much hp it put down and the times?

the white miata in these pics is the previous miata i owned. the white one is the one that burned.

i bought the red miata earlier this year. the turbo i have on the red miata is the same turbo i salvaged from the burned white miata. also from the burned miata are my flyin miata springs and autopower rollbar.

the rims, GReddy type-s BOV, and intercooler were sold off

i still have the MSD DIS-2 in a box, along with the GReddy Profec-B boost controller (which i doubt still works)

[miata619drifter]

Feint, i never had the car dyno'ed but as far as times, the burnt miata ran 8.6's in the 1/8th mile and consistent 13.3's in the 1/4 mile. on a few occasions it hit 13.28 and 13.29 in the 1/4 mile.

when i get enough money saved up i'm going to build my current miata (the red one) up to the specs of the burned one.
