new guy from TX
 

Hi guys,


I picked up a well kept 97 Miata a couple months ago as a second car for autox and track days. I am in the process of collecting parts for a 5.0/t5 swap. I bought a t5 last weekend and am hoping to continue collecting parts for the next month. The plan is to track the car on april 17th and then start the tear down after the event. I've been lurking on this forum for a while and look forward to continue to learn from ya'll.

Welcome from Sunny Midwest Florida.

welcome

Thanks. This is the only picture I have so far!

Nice! Looks like a cold track day I hope you had some grip! Welcome to the nut house I really look forward to your build. Love them Ford builds! If you are a blue oval guy you will really enjoy the video in this thread. https://www.v8miata.net/performance-...l-shelby-2151/

Thanks for posting the intro thread and I'm really looking forward to you build!

Thanks for the warm welcome! That's a great video. ac cobra is the reason I want to build a v8 Miata.

I've always wanted a Cobra too. Actually got to tour the Factory Five plant a while back while I was stationed in CT. Dave Smith is a really nice guy.

I have a Ford 5.0/T-5 car too. Buckets of fun!
