Well, the 240sx was giving me issues and I am in a tight spot financially too so I knew I wasn't gonna be able to put her on the track for this year with the big boys so I decided not to keep it to just be daily driven because well, let's face it...that car was not meant to be daily driven...

I went ahead and picked up a 1990 Mazda Miata from the first owner in GREAT condition with only 84k miles on it...guy had all service records with him, bone stock to the cassette player...clean carfax...really loving it...

(I had one of these things about a year before I got the s2000 so I knew what I was getting into)

(except for the hood and trunk that got some hail damage but i'll get that handled soon)...


I did the necessary oil and fluid changes this past weekend and drove her about 500 miles...my best friend got me a set of 15" kazera kz-m spec miata wheels on toyo ra-1 r-compound tires for it...

plans for it are as follows:

KINDA redid my ideas since my new job is working out really well...

I'm working on the car with 2 different companies...so it'll have a couple different stages...

Stage1: (street driven daily N/A) completion: in a month or two
-14" daisies custom colored go back on

Fun little cars!

 

Sorry to hear you have to get rid of your 240sx toy, but glad to hear you found a proven fun car to own. With a big turbo it could be a drift car also.

I like your lists also except stereo and speakers since I'm not a music guy.

Congrats man and keep on tracking...

 

THAT WAS A NICE 240. U DIDN'T HAVE IT LONG AT ALL.

 

im no audio guy either but 1990 miata speakers don't do anything but go static and the oem cassette player is really not fun

but thanks on the comment, i used to love my miata about 3 yrs ago so i figured im gonna love this one too...

auto-x is a definite thing this year haha...and maybe some skidpad fun but when she gets supercharged i'll try to get on the bridge track at drift nirvana again...

 

Leave the car alone!!! It didn't do anything mean to you.

 

Dood.. you said you had a deal to get a nice 2000 acura tl or something as a daily... where did this come from? you know you're gonna do something to it and go broke......then were gonna see another car sold

 

yeah probably hahaha...but this was the only car i trusted reliability-wise for the money since i know everything about it...and i think im grown enough now to resist the temptation under the hood maybe (while its a daily lol)

 

dood.. we both know that's damn lie about resisting.. my maxima was my daily.. look what happened hahahaha

 

hahahaha...true...well i never said im not gonna mod everything else...but im gonna keep it reliably N/A while I daily it...once its NOT a daily any more...then we'll see whats next



...and Skip...I knowwwww but you know me and temptation
