Tyler’s tangerine

Hanging with my buddy Tyler on this fine Saturday and I figured I’d give him and his machine a proper intro since he’s been a huge part of my drifting journey. I met Tyler in elementary school and the rest is history we’ve been best buds ever since. Naturally when I was getting into cars Tyler took an interest too… Fast forward to now and he’s a full time mechanic working at his family’s business and has a near identical turbo Miata to mine. Only major difference from our cars is he has a 1.8 while I have 1.6. We have been drifting nearly identical amounts of time since we started hitting almost every event we can. He’s my main tandem partner and we have grown our driving together. I’ll share some photos here as well as a quick hit from this afternoon.
