VIDEO // NICK CAHILL'S TURBO MIATA @ LAGUNA SECA

After some rather disheartening comments were posted on this weeks Miata Monday feature, I decided to do a bit of research and figure out not only who took the photo (Mike), but who owned the car... [read more]



After a quick search on Facebook, I soon discovered the Miata is owned by Nick Cahill, a NorCal roadster enthusiast hell bent on going fast and looking good.

Cahill, who we hope will supply us with some additional information regarding his car, sent me this video of his 250whp NA Miata, as he and a friend lap the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca during a track day last month.

So while we wait for additional info on Cahill's Miata, enjoy the video and please, put down the Hatorade ;)

    @Anonymous: Do a bit of research before posting your comments...

    "Now in its third generation, the MX5's first generation, the NA, sold over 400,000 units from 1989 to 1997"

    As my good friend Scott pointed out on Facebook, the NA code can often throw people off. Typically however, when referring to a normally-aspirated automobile, people will use N/A as opposed to NA.

    And yes, it seems "that shis' boosted as fk'" :P

    Anybody else notice he is not wearing gloves... Here is WA we are required to wear gloves and long sleeve shirts at track events, at least the ones I attend. All the more reason to move to Cali :)

    What a fucking awesome Miata! Does it have a 6-speed transmission swap, or are my eyes deceiving me?
