An old friend is getting his turbo Miata back together. Stupid tree.

I like the sort of friends you have
Before I go any further, if you’re doing a valve seal job, just buy the plier type seal puller. That said, I was all geared up to do this job and found the seals impossible to remove with any normal tool in the box. After finding a spare chip puller tong in my tech tool box, I clipped it in the center, locked down on that end with some pliers, and producted a very effective seal puller.
this guy sounds like one of us
intriguing swap
I've always wanted to do an FE3 swap in a Miata and turbo it.
I dig the old mazda logo center caps. Know where he got them from.
Also, that sucks about the car.

As a side note, awesome wheels from them. I run them on my wife's stock NA, my autocross NA, and my Spec Miata...
In reply to skrzastek:
That's awesome, I would love a set of those for my SA Rx-7.
Those are my old tires in that photo, too. Poor car. At least no one was hurt. Cars and garages can be replaced.

That how this one was previous setup. I drove it. It was pretty benign around town. Glad it's coming back.
There's a few of them out there... And there's stronger variants of the FE3 out there than the 145hp version he's talking about. 
I want an F2T miata. Just because it would be absurd.
Any chance we could talk them into doing a 300whp KL turbo powered Miata?
It'd be lighter. And faster. And sound way cooler. And it's one of my dream swaps into a Miata. I need 4 miatas.
The MSM.
An ITB'd FE3 high comp screamer
An F2T-swapped NA
Some sort of ludicrous KL-powered NB.
what, no rotary miata?
I like the idea of that swap.
I have lots of old mature trees in my yard so that is one of my fears every time it storms. And yes they have been trimmed back but it's still a possibility.
is there more FE3/Miata info out there? That site is a little thin.
There's a decent amount on Miataturbo.com or .net, whichever it was.

I've been thinking about trying to find an "old, mature tree" to park my MG under.

The site isn't officially launched at this point. I've still got a lot of work to do- gobs of content (words and pics) to sort through so I can document the first build. The site will grow immensely. And it will continue to grow as I'm in the midst of moving over the old FE3 parts and building/installing new to another 90 Miata. Thanks for hanging in there and stay tuned. - Rob
