Custom Turbo Miata
 
I thought I would toss my hat in the ring.

Pretty slick for a modern car.

There are a few of those (not as well cared for though) roaming the roads here. I always chuckle a bit when I pull up next to one and it is as long as the hood of of my 2 door 6 passenger Lincoln Mark V...Granted even my friend's full size Suburban ain't as long as my Lincoln. :D

Interesting that the climate control panel had enough slack to move down for the extra gauges.

I see you added an air/fuel meter- I had one of those on an old Cougar of mine, and because it tapped the one-and-only O2 sensor on that car, it screwed with the mixture and made the mileage horrible.

Just something to watch for, unless you added a bung for a separate O2 sensor (or they have improved monitoring technology since then). Mine was just a scotch-lock that crimped onto the O2 sensor wire (which I imagine added a parallel load and screwed up its readings into the ECM).

Custom down pipe with bung for Bosch O2 sensor feeding a MegaSquirt EFI controller. No factory ECU. Full stainless exhaust.

Very nice car! I didn't see this earlier. I have a stock 90 NA, pretty much a guarantee that it's the car I will be driving when I run into vintage electronics in the wild. Very good on curves, but the extra power would sure be nice. Stock transmission? Nice upholstery too!

Very nice! I had a '95 for over 10 years. I miss that car. I like the custom work you did with yours. Fantastic job!

I also saw it too late, but, to quote Ed in the Honeymooners,
"Va, va, va, Voom!!!!!!!
