By the time by buddyboys have graduated college and I can finally retire, all I want out of life is to import a monocraft mh1 RHT with a 16x swap and I'll die a happy man. But, in the meantime, I'd sure like to see if Mazda resurrects the RX-7. Life is good.

so i saw this car yesterday and i'll say i was a little jealous. it was pretty nice and sitting in the car and feeling the wheel and shifter, i could barely tell the difference between the feel and my 8. it's got a nice interior too, and it just feels good. plus it's brand spanking new and it does look good.

so i was pretty jealous. no lie. plus i've put a second gen mx5 through the paces and they are a BLAST to drive. A lot of fun like the 8, just a littler loser. i heard the kind chris has is much tighter and technical but still fun. what would you say, chris?

it only takes 12 seconds for the top... it's pretty pimp.

i would never put the 8 down because i loved mine dearly.....the handling in my opinion could not be touched when you lower it and add some sways.....and yeah the im not going to be able to get over the silky whirrr of the rotary as you flip through shifts....but torque in a lower rpm in a lighter car cant be easily dismissed either.....both cars have thier place and merits....

it's so cute!




j/k man, hardtops are baller, reminds of the coupe concept (or maybe it was for sell overseas and not here ) that was floating around a few years ago that actually had a fixed roof ona Miata body, I forgot the name of it but here's a pic, always thought this car would be pimp if they released it, congrats on the purchase, at least it's not some lame *** fwd pos

Trust me Chris.....you're gonna have to get the supercharger. I owned a '94 Supercharged Miata......and I must say that it may just be better than owning an 8......DO IT!! You won't regret it, and I never had any complications with mine, even back then.

Congrats.....so many possibilities.

Congrats. Love the idea of turning MX-5/Miata's into little beasts. Nice choice going w/ the PRHT. Can't wait to see the car heavily modded.

Dude dont worry about Mr. 21 posts....whats his name? Exactly cant even remember...the MX5 NC is really nice. I cant wait to see it done up....you know chris already ordered chinese food for it, lol.
