I just won this beauty at auction, so now I suppose is a good time to start my build thread. It is a 1999. Clearly the brakes are good.   |

Congrats! I kind of miss the auctions and hunting for my donor.

Looks like a perfect Exocet candidate! How does the rear subframe look?

Not sure about the rear subframe. I'm planning to pick up tomorrow. I actually bought it sight unseen. I saw someone up your way advertising subframes for $100-200 if I'm not mistaken, so I wasn't too worried about it.

I'm up in Oceanside and just started drooling over the Exocet. Had a 94 Miata for a number of years. I'd love to assist sometime...

Started my parts accumulation today. Since the donor has 200k on it already, I figured I'd build up a strong foundation for a forced induction engine. My plan is to run a Rotrex C30 (probably a 94) from Jackson Racing, and aiming for a solid 250 whp.
Ordered today from 949 racing:
Supertech pistons for 9.5:1 CR
Manley H-Beam rods
949 Billet Oil Pump
Supertech Miata valve springs
949 Billet Damper
Racing Beat Header
Mazda Competition motor mounts
Energy Suspension Urethane bushing kit

How about an update. Trying to get a list of people in CA with Exocets!

I have been looking at auctions too, if you don't mind saying so, how much did you pay for the old girl? I'm trying to get a ballpark idea what these crunched beauties are going for. Thanks!

Well, I really thought I was going to be better at updating my thread. I have actually been making slow progress and taking pictures on the way. Will start uploading now...
