1992 Mazda Miata

After buying my miata at 16, I knew I had a long way to go before it was ready to race. Being in highschool, the miata I could afford came with blown out suspension, bald tires, chatter in the drivetrain, and a whole host of other problems. The goal with this car was always to turn it into a daily driver I could autocross on the weekend. After spending an entire year working through and replacing rusted out suspension the car finally had its major subsystems sorted out. I replaced everything from the clutch to the suspension, to the door bushings to help prepare this car for autocross. I ran the last autocross of the season before blowing the timing belt over the winter. After spending half the following year troubleshooting various issues with the car I managed to get it out for its second autocross ever before I left for college. Both autocrosses, I placed near the middle of my class. Unfortunately it turned out I enjoyed working on the car more than I enjoyed racing it, so as soon as I finished my first year of college, I took the car on a trip to hit 200,000 miles on the odometer and tore the car apart to repair rust. It currently sits in peices in my friends garage, waiting for some new panels to be welded in.
