DEEDUBBS new Mazda!
 

Having owned 2 NB Miata's prior to the 8 the MX5 bug bit me in the ass again. Found a killer deal on a 92 NA Miata.

It has 104k miles and a clean title. Needs a little bit of work but I plan on giving it a lot of work! hahaha Best of all I picked it up for $1400. This will not replace my crx as a daily driver but a second weekend car!

looks straight.
You gonna put the 1.8 in there?

most likely a 20b=)

nah..maybe a 13b turbo II..hahaha if I can find a killer deal on one.. I need to do more research first..

ive never seen a car with four spare tires! thats wicked... lol - please tell me your gonna paint it the same as the eight... and isnt one weekend car enough as it is?

nice...going to JDM it up? hahaha

shhhh man!!! i can't ruin the surprise.. The build will take aproximately 2 years to complete. I'm choosing the parts for this car very carefully but it's been done to death so it's pretty much a cookie cutter method! As far as weekend cars, my driveway is in a weird position so I have to move about 3 cars just to pull the 8 out of the garage, the miata just sits in the driveway, so it's easy to pull in and out.

The car needs some work though. Going to a convertible top shop tommorow morning to check some new tops out. More than likely going with a a vinyl top with glass unzippered. =)

more like autocross stylee...haha

nice ride bryan. that thing is guna be fun as hell.

Definitely a fun car to drive, but those big round headlights scare me for some reason.. HAHAH Enjoy the new ride!

aww deedubb its so cute!!!

yea man...im going to prove to everyone it's not a girls car..hahaha:icon_no2:

the bug eye headlights are a classic roadster trait. I love it!

i'll bring it to the next meet and give you a ride..hahaha

Sweet Deal!!

nice! sweet deal dude. my friend has the same one, but red!

thanks chicka...

Nioce! I love Miata's, just wish I could fit in them. There was this one time MM made me ride passenger in his Miata....

haha, NICE!

sweet pick up...

with 100K on the odometer, it still has another 100 to go....as i am sure u know plenty of people boost their miatas AFTER 100K and it lives long and strong to 200K....

definitely keep us updated on the plans/build

I know that feeling. :banghead:

The miata is definitely one of my top favorite cars, aside from the rx7! Good job with the purchase, can't wait to see what happens to this little monster! :icon_tup:

Nice find Bryan!!! Now we have to dig up some old HKS products! haha

hey deedub why dont you set the miata up for auto cross. after speeddemon32 sold his 8 he picked one up. check it out.

hmmmmm was there ever a turbo kit? or maybe an intake should suffice!

wow i didnt know he picked up a miata..i'll have to check it out..thanks lesper..

Was the 13b a joke or are you serious about that? I've never seen a Miata with a rotary.

Every time I see this car I think of two things:

1. When I first saw it as a little kid, and I complimented the fat, blond-headed woman who squenched out of it.

2. Men in pink shirts and tight jeans who are best described as "~fabulous~"...


I'm sure it really is fun to drive! But it's enjoyable in the same way I'd enjoy a strawberry-bannana daiquiri in a curvy glass with an umbrella.

its been done before but i've seen it with ITB's non turbo..

didn't you know the RX8 is a chick car as well?!:banghead:

I just noticed the turbo kits for these things are super cheap.

edit - I guess if you only paid $1400 for the car . . $1300 for a turbo is not really that cheap

Good deal for 1400

hey debub! cool man! would be cool to uto cross with ya. :)

check out the last few post in that thread of mine, the car has been in my posesstion for 4 days now, so its finnaly getting finished up. :)

nice car Brian, lots of stuff to do in the car. Great car on tracks. Have fun, meet up sometimes once you mod the car. can't wait to see it =]

wow grandma- what big EYES you have :)

j/k congrats.

Nice - $1400 made it a no-brainer, huh?

Those wheels are hawt!


lol. Congrats - have fun playing with it!

$1400 + the compulsory & inevitable $20k worth of eventual mods u mean.. HAHAHAHAHAHA .... :)

Might i suggest: http://www.monstermiata.ca/

The show "Gearz" was working one one awhile ago, not sure if they finished it.

ha ha... yeah true true!

My miata was $1,200 (by the way, nice find Debub, for $1,400, yours is very clean!) but the parts already on the car are WAAAY more. hell the 99 engine I had put in was almost as much as the car (installed it was more!). same with the Mazdaspeed cutch diff. :-/

but thats what I am starting to like about miatas. the price of the car is right, and parts are easy to find.

Maybe one of these days I we will get my wife a daily driver miata???? I get the racer and she gets the driver? :)

wow, that turbo kit is looking mighty tastey...maybe i'll try and install it myself and tear the whole block apart and clean it up..sounds like fun!

likewise bro! congrats on yours as well...i get restless at work just thinking about it, it sits in the driveway for now until I can get my new convertible top with an unzippered glass window...whats the 1.8 litre motor swap typically cost?

will do man!

don't cap on grandma, pay respects to your olders..hahaha

i love thses steel wheels! I was thinking about painting them black for now but the beat up stained silver is growing on me..hahaha No 19 in VOLK diamond black TE37's here..LOL

I took a ratty soft top like that outa my car on Thursday (the day we got it home). the top is tan and dirty but in goo shape, the rear platic window is destroyed though. I thought that was kinda cool that it had a rear window that unzipped.

Paid a grand for the engine its self and $500 for the guy to install it. (I just didnt feel like messin with a motor swap on a car that I dont know yet.) its not the 94-97 engine, its the 99-00 engne. oh and I paid the $200 for the converssion kit from flyin miata. so roughly $1700 is what It cost me just for the swap. :Eyecrazy:

hmm i'd rather go with that motor swap than a turbo kit. Although i'm seeing the NA engine with the greddy turbo kit dynoing at 200-220 at the wheels...

I think the expenses with the new baby will catch up to you.

No modding the Miata.

deedubb will be fine.

I just wanted to see what the wind was going to do to your face!
You gotta admit, having your chin higher than the windshield was pretty funny.

HKS did make a kit for the 1.6, but I'm pretty sure FM did a better job.

Personally, I'd leave the car mostly stock with the exception of the turbo and a maxed-out suspension.

he he he, do both! :) 99' 1.8 turboed. ;)
