Almost 8 years ago this Laser Blue Miata ended up in our hands with the intention of turning it into a daily "beauty". Initially, it received minor modifications such as D2 coilovers, a new soft top, new seats, an Opel Astra lip spoiler (for $12 🙃), new wheels, and so on. Over time, the desire for more power grew stronger 💪, so we installed a Mercedes W203 Eaton M62 supercharger (190hp). We went to our first meetup, the 30th anniversary of the Mazda MX-5 in Ułęż Circuit, where we had the opportunity to test our skills on the track. We immediately caught the bug, and our desire to hit the track grew. Unfortunately, the supercharger seized, and because of our interest in track driving, we switched back to naturally aspirated. From then on, things progressed quickly ⏳. We attended our first Rookie RWD training, participated in the Miata Challenge, and made further track modifications. We managed to win a few trophies in the last season 🏆. And that's how our "beauty" turned into a battered ugly duckling 😐. Thanks to the guys from SU2 Performance, the idea was born to bring back the supercharger, but this time at a completely different quality level 🔥 - we chose Rotrex A/S™ C30-64 🤩. And to prevent our "dryer" from feeling sad driving in a battered car, we installed rear fender repairs, refreshed the engine bay, and prepared the entire car for wrapping 😊. Here, big thanks once again to Bad Witch and Easy Wrap for comprehensively handling the graphic design project and wrapping - top-notch quality ❤️. Now we're moving on to upgrading the exhaust, adding oil coolers, power steering, assembling everything, and firing it up. To be continued 😎
