1999 Miata Track Build Part 2 – Buying a NASA TTE NB1 & Build Plan Breakdown
Share
Because I wasn't having any fun being an also-ran back marker in D, and I didn't want to gut, cage, trailer this "clean" Ohio car I started thinking of Plan B's.
In November of 2015 I jumped a deal to buy a friend's mildly prepped TTE NB1:
Build Plan Stages
I am going to break this down into stages.
- Stage 1: "The Early Days" Not sure I wanted to "heavily invest" in PT or w2w in general. Nov '15 - April '16
- Stage 2: "All-In for Regional Lulz" April '16 - August '16
- Stage 3: "Pipe Dream" Aug '16 - 2017
- Stage 4: 2017+
Initial Setup
It was still pretty simple. Mods were light enough that it could be easily converted to "state of the art"
It was literally what I imagine most Miata.net cars are like.
