Mazdazine eh? My 2nd car
Well, since my Genesis always seems to be away either getting parts tested or shows.. or other stuff..
I thought having a cheap 2nd car would be nice... might as well make it an enjoyable 2nd car for $1.5k... this is what i picked up.. lol https://farm7.static.flickr.com/6026...16a1a4de72.jpg https://farm7.static.flickr.com/6004...f28e170e4a.jpg '95 Mazda MX-5 Miata 5MT.... Why did I choose this? I've driven my friends 93 Miata for awhile since that was his 2nd car and it is a fun little car.. I've decided that having a 94+ with a 1.8 would be must over the 1.6.. hehe. |
$1500? :what:
|
haha.. he was originally asking $2200...
|
Great buy I say. How is the condition...any mods planned?
|

Great buy, Josh!
Make this as your build thread! I want to see everything! Because one day... I'll pull the trigger......... Congrats again :D |
Nice job! What are your plans?
|
looks like it has some body damage (right tail, maybe more), but still a nice pickup for 1500. do miatas really handle like everyone says they do? congrats on the purchase

they do really handle nice.. love it |
best $1500 you ever spent?
congrats |
for the price of a road bicycle! great buy!
|
2-$2.5k is about what they go for around here... they're usually sitting next to the old civics in used car lots...
if i found one for $1500 i would pick it up to keep miles off the accord |
Great purchase! A friend just picked up a supercharged 93 with 86k for 4500 lol
|
nice pickup :cheers:
|

Enjoy! but nice MX5 :thumbsup: |
if i could find one for 1500... i would seriously consider picking it up and slapping a turbo on for fun...
|
btw where you find your car josh?
|
$1,500? That's going to be a lot of fun for a little money. They look like rolling kidney beans, but you can't beat a little roadster like that for the pure smile factor. Enjoy!

Nice Josh
I've seen some nice lookin Miatas on the Mazda forums.. |
That's awesome for $1500!
My friend just picked up a 02 Miata with 36K original miles on it. It's a fun car! I wish I was a little shorter... |
haha.
anywho.. got my new tail lights today and put them on... nice to see a good working tail light.. and its been polished.. :woot: also did half atf half oil and then put in new 5w-30 with new filter.. valve lifter noises are gone.. all i need to do now is fix this idle issue... when i come to a stop... it likes to rev up to 2k and holds it there for about 20-30 seconds.. and other random times... |
just thought i give it a small little update...
changed out the intake manifold gasket and fuel injectors seals.. had a few more vacuum leaks so all that is fixed with a few bit of hoses.. everything runs fine now but... i wired up my universal o2 sensor wrong.. lmao fail.. since my friend came over to do his water pump + timing belt.. i decided to do my shifter rebuild... BEFORE: https://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e...AxNzguanBn.jpg AFTER: https://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e...AxNzkuanBn.jpg i'll hopefully do another smog this weekend after fixing the wires and get her tags.... finally. |
Y U NO GET AFTERMARKET SHIFTER?
:jk: the stock Miata shifter is amazing as is, I haven't met anyone yet with an aftermarket one. Have fun! |
lol!..
stock shifter now feels amazing after everything! |
josh
take a pic of the interior, i want to check it out. |
Such a dope whip.
|
lol thanks!
anywho, an update for anyone that follows...... lmao replaced the head gasket and water pump with all the belts... that was fun. replaced my dented up door with a nicely used one and same with the rear finish panel. (old one was cracked) :D oh.. and the soft top.. changed that too. no more brown rear window.. lol.. |
Nice pickup. One of the guys on my soccer team has 2 of these. He picked up his last one for $800. Needs work but he knows that car inside out.

:thumbsup:

:scratch: Really? It's an '03 Accord not a NSX. Drive your car dude; it's one of the most practical cars ever made and you're worried about "keeping the miles off it?"
Sorry, I find that hilarious. |
hmm.. i should take some pictures of the parts i buy... or something.. lol
got my header put in with my test pipe.. also picked up some NB Koni yellows with racing beats on NB top hats for $350.. got the fronts put in.. i'll put the rest in tomorrow.. hehe |
