Why are you going from a fast car to a slow car?
|
To have a car that i can stretch out in for longer drives, something with cruise control for longer drives.
I have changed mindsets and i will drive my civic until spring and then get a new car.... genesis or something. |
Booo, I like your car the way it was... it looked really well done and clean!
|
It was.
I am making life changes right now and a second car that soaks all of your money and never runs is not something i need. Thanks for the comments though. Buy things from my partout! Support me and my new life. |
Lots of stuff has sold from this build. It is sad some days to see it go, but I am loving the stress free living of not worrying about working on this and the obvious financial hit it has on the bank every month.
For those interested, I have made a jig for 1.8 miata turbo manifolds and can make anything your heart desires. For all other parts.... check out my partout thread V2.0!!! https://www.miataturbo.net/miata-parts-sale-trade-5/partout-thread-2-updated-list-updated-prices-aem-stance-act-fidanza-more-60719/ Cheers! |
are you still going to make intake manifolds?
|
Sure thing, Skippy.
|
so the miata project as it was is 100% done, but not gone.
A night of insomnia i have an idea for this which i will need the help of the MT.net community for. |
I thought you parted it out?
|
yep. 90% of the car is gone. I have my 1.6 diff and trans, the hood, bumpers fenders and an assortment of interior parts left to put on the tub.

Yep. I will be getting a nice daily in the spring likely and just drive that. (RX8)
Nice cars are cool, but not a priority. |

I actually like that motor, I helped a friend rebuild one a few weeks ago. It was funny cause the motor was completely apart before the fucker was even cold. It was that simple to get apart...

They are super easy. They also are very cheap. I used to have a KA-t s13. blew the engine once and i easily found a new engine the next day for $100.
Pics: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1321542409 They are quite torquey and dead reliable. The torque should motivate the miata to fun lapping with the 4.3 rear end that is going back into the car (oem 1.6 diff). Just to inform, the project i am trying to do for $0 out of pocket. So value might be higher due to me having quite a few assorted parts from building cars over time. This will show some of my fab skills, but its not going to be baller by any means since there is simply no budget for it. The goal is to have a reliable lapping car for fun runs with friends. |
