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?!

 

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.

 

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.
