Hello Miata Turbo! My name is Greg and I have a serious addiction to building awesome cars. Picked this guy up August 2014.
...and it's..... GREEN! :scared: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1458046778 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1458046778 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1458046778 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1458046778 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1458046778 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1458046778 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1458046778 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1458046778 Found it on eBay. Probably the 100th one I came across. Threw a low ball max bid on it expecting the bids to go over like they did so many times before. Ended up getting the car for a lot less then my max bid. ...and I parted it out. Mostly... Details of the build thread are here. More details than you probably care to know. Aka: long read.

This is exactly want I want :drool: But in a sunburst orange color like what you would find on the mazdaspeed protege http://www.2040-cars.com/_content/ca...37073/003.jpg? When can we expect some videos of this thing? Digging the 'NOPE' sticker :laugh: |

The same week I picked up the green car, I also got an 01 base model in black. Unexpected but with some minor work, it's been a great DD ever since. Did a Torsen swap, basic maintenance, shifter rebuild, new OEM top and hard top with defrost... Nothing major. Car is still stock and a joy to cruise around in.

During the build I had the GoPro setup and took a few hours worth of vids but didn't know you had to format the disk in the camera. All those memories got lost in the corruption. :( Hense the lame picture video. My wife calls me grumpy cat. I have a resting angry face apparently.... |
exocet insurance
Any ideas who I can get to insure my Exocet? Just for the occasional street ride. I have insured as Miata in Florida, but I would really like insured for the actual value.
