I'd love to buy one only if i could fit in it.

Great pick up !!

 

awesome, i've been thinking of picking one up too for the last few years, but I just don't have room to park 2 cars, and moving to a new place with even less parking.

 

well.. just detailed on saturday.. couldn't find my yellow cutting pad till after i finished waxing... lol.. but this should do for now...

and while i was trying to get rid of this old tape that dried up and wouldn't come off after using goo gone and lots of other things, i resorted to wetsanding... and out of frustration.. lmao, oops


i polished out all those scratches but that part i got down to the primer.....



anyways.. since i've neglected to not posting pics..

some random ones for now.

 

Lol, looks fun

 

Looks fun.

 

I spy a CF trunk. Dope.

 

NICEEEEEEEEEE

The one that i drove last week looked pretty much the same. It drove like a heaven. I really didn't think I would like the old interiors and whatnot, but it surely didn't matter. I never even noticed the interior much since I was drooling at the driving feel of it.

Can't wait to have one for myself!

 

fun indeed
yes.. temporary until i can find a nice black one that isn't dented
haha. interior is simple as it gets.

 

Why not just keep the CF Trunk? Is that the one that's dented?

 

I want your oem fogs!! Gimme!!!!!!!!! =]

 

lol. you want a set?

im bringing in another box from japan pretty soon.

any other things you're looking for? lolol

 

replaced my motor mount tonight.. what a difference!

i don't have a picture of mine but here is what it looks like





the right one on the last picture is stock... that thing was torn in to two pieces for both sides.. can't believe i was driving on them like that and didn't do them sooner.

feels great for 70 duro

 

Nice! Must be an easy engine bay to work in.

 

stiff motor mounts

it's amazing how these little pieces of metals make such a huge difference.

 

Dude great pick up. My friend and I bought a 95 m edition for 1500 as well. We stripped it and we are trying to make it into a track car, we are in need of a tune and moneyz but the turbo is in and it really is as good as everyone says it is the second best handling car I've ever driven. Nothing will ever top an s2000 for me . Its a raspy son of a bitch but i love the little thing already blew a raditator, but my favorite part...IS THE PUSH BUTTON START, came with the car.

 

nice! congrats. is it just some random push start?

If you were out here in Cali, i'd tell you to go to Blackbird Fabworx. his work looks really nice but it also comes with the price... theres a few thread of there stuff on clubroadster..

what else are you planning to do with it?

 

Its the same one that come on an s2k where the cigarette lighter should be. Put in the hard dog roll cage yesterday, the roof is ruined so we might buy a removable hardtop. Otherwise looking into aero dynamic solutions like a spoiler and front splitter, I wish i was in clai would love to tear up laguna seca. Northern VA sucks. We want 300 whp, easier said then done

 

Btw if u ever consider going turbo check out flyingmiata.com

 

not that it matters, but you really have no clue why i'd like to keep miles off of my car.

not to mention you compared it to a car that can be bought for $5-$7k more at bob's used car lot these days.

my car is paid for, modified, and low mileage for its year. its also not a very practical daily driver, hence if were to come across a $1500 beater, i would rather drive that back and fourth to work rather then my project car...

i also have a 944 thats under construction... but i should probably just set it on fire and throw it away b/c its an '87 right

 

It's still an Accord.

 

my feelings are crushed.. really...

 

Looking good, i need to get a fun little car

 

Miata is the way to go, buy one now while it's cold they r cheaper. It's fun cuz my tl isn't manual and the gas mileage on this thing is great well maybe without the turbo dunno what it's like yet.

 

Ironically, I was looking at these recently...was thinking to jump on a little fun convertible to drive around in and enjoy this South Florida weather!

Congrats...don't know why I'm just seeing this thread. I also checked out S2000's but MAN, they are at least 10K more than these miatas. At 1500, you really can't go wrong.

 

You really can't and i picked mine up with 82k. Josh did u mention ur soft top was effed up I'm looking for a temporary fix.

 

damn you guyst..just went on craigslist...started with miatas...ended up on porsches...wow....to think, an 07 cayman is within reach.

 

yea.. my rear plastic window was ripped.. the top was fine..

and the seams around the zipper was ripping too so i bought the Robbins XT

im pretty happy with the robbins.. that zipper imo is pretty useless.. lol

if your hard dog is from the NB, maybe you can look into a NB soft top replacement.

 

Unfortunately its one for the NA.

 

dang.. haha. i guess just look into the Robbins...

theres cheaper ones on ebay.. looks like random brands.. not sure if they'll be any good but iirc, there are reviews of them on clubroadster i think.. or i think it was miata.net

 

Wow...you guys are going to inspire me to pull the trigger on one of these.

 

Love those little cars...wish I could fit inside one to drive it. My knees hit the steering wheel though.

 

 

just gotta make sure you know what to look for.. lol.. some of them would have rust on some of the panels.. most likely, some parts of the dash would be broken / cracked.. and shift boots would be torn. haha
haha thats why i got an aftermarket steering wheel with quick release.

lets me get in much easier and the steering wheel is further forward so my knees have more room.

 

Pussy. My big ass fits in the S2000 pretty comfortably.

 

fitting in isn't the problem! it's the getting in and out!

 

Its never dignified getting in and out but who cares

 

Well, I don't "care", per se...but my lower back has been killing me lately...and last time I tested getting into an S2000, it was brutal. That said...I was 40 pounds heavier at the time.

AND, I ain't no pu**y...that wouldn't stop me either

Dude...looking at nice RWD roadsters...found a white 07 Porsche Cayman in the low 20's. I'd love one...but obviously...a $1500 toy is different than a $25000 toy.

 

 

Sorry for the thread jack but I had a crappy Thanksgiving. I was driving the Miat back from my friends house to mine to pick something up for turkey day because I was missing the manual. As I come onto this awesome twisty road I start to open her up, I get to about 6lbs worth of boost at about half throttle come over this blind hill and there is a squirell in the middle of the road so i go to leisurely go around it and upon coming back into line i feel this weird vibration in the steering wheel and the cars back just drops and I go into a tail spin from which i try to recover I can't in time. I hit a ditch at about 20 and it took me an hour to get it out. It seemed that when coming back into line the tire was torn off the rim into the wheel well locking up the back right tire so it was an unrecoverable slide. What a shitty turkey day. I guess the squirrel had a good one....



Sorry its the only pic I have. But the car is back in my friends garage it started but it scraped the undercarriage on the road. Its sitting on a doughnut waiting for me to beat the fender back in place and check that the engine and tranny and everything are good. Got a long winter ahead now. Now the Tl will have to wait for mods thanks to the Miats.
