I recently competed in a local Autocross. I did not do very well, but it was fun anyhow.

Happy New Year to all my friends on Minkara!

Today I purchased a 2004 Turbo Roadster. In the USA, the model is known as the Mazdaspeed Miata.

The Roadster has been my favorite car for many years and I have wanted one for a long time. I'm very excited that I not only got my favorite car, but was able to get the turbo version also.

Right now it feels very fast. When the turbo kicks in, the power actually startles me a little. I'm sure I'll get used to that and will want more power later on. But for now, I'm very impressed with this little car.

Everyone welcome my friend Ryan to Minkara. He has an S30 that is undergoing restoration. Go tell him hello!

Yesterday I completed all of the suspension on my AW11. I installed new ball joints, tie rod ends and installed polyurethane bushings, new Excel-G shocks, and Eibach Pro Kit sport springs.

The ride is much better now as the old components were original and very worn out. The feel of the car is much better and is more fun in corners. I hope to take it to gymkhana/autocross soon to see how well it can perform.

As you can see, a wheel stud also broke during installation. I will have to replace that very soon.
