Miata Modification

 



Welcome to the laundry-list-o-mods. This is a build list for Sharka, my 1997 Miata. This car has gone from SCCA stock-class racer to CSP racer (2 seasons) to SM2 killer (1 season w/ forced induction) and back to CSP for 2006. That's right, I went back to normal asperation. I enjoyed the extra power of the supercharger, but the desire to simplify became overwhelming. Also, I'm a little bit interested in an FM Ubercharger. Sharka is no longer my daily driver, but rather my "fun" car.
