Back in the saddle again!
 
I bought a, wait for it.............Miata!

Pretty clean car, bought it from the 2nd owner, who has had it since 1999. Modded it a bit back then, but fairly unmolested and the best part is, only 81k miles! It's a 1995 which means it's a 1.8 liter car without OBDII which means easier emissions compliance when modding (think V8 swap!).

My plan is make it kind of a dual purpose car if I can pass broomstick. Otherwise, just a fun "date night car".

Nice
 
I am considering a used RF maybe in a year as a third car. I saw you posted a while back you were underwhelmed by your R. If you don't mind a thread jack, care to elaborate? I might look at one of those too. Congrats on the date night car.

Cool little car, roll cage and all, Marioshi. V8 swap??? Are you coming down for the LA Auto Show next month?

TheDonEffect 10-04-2017 10:20 PM

Awesome man, what happened to the other cars?

Those NA Miatas look really good with those wheels. Is it lowered?

Yeah, already had a rollbar, still struggling to get underneath it. With my helmet on, I am a few inches above... No plans for the autoshow, but we will see. Actually I am signed up for a track day at Laguna Seca the Saturday after TG.

A v8 swap would be awesome but for now I am going to try to learn how to drive a slow car fast.

Well, atm it's got manual steering and a heavy duty clutch, so it's a pain to drive in the city! AC works fine though haha.

Yeah, super clean car, I mean not perfect but for being 22 years old, it's in great shape.

It is lowered, I couldn't tell you how much but I know it's got a slight drop. I love the wheels, they looks almost OEM but so much nicer.

good lord I have spent some money on this car already! I thought Miata's were supposed to be cheap!
