I was debating in my head looking good and cruising vs. having to tame a raped ape that my car will become when done. So much fun. I will attempt to harness this excitement into finishing something on this car.

If you like a Z3 over a miata, you might just be too gay for the miata.

Honestly though, a well built miata is way cooler than any z3 in my book. I kind of like the coupes, but they are still so ugly in a way. z4 on the other hand I could see.

:laugh:

There is a certain threshold - once you pass it there is no more hope for you.

Haha well then who is coming over to help me utilize my Miata to the fullest of non gay ways? Copious amounts of beer will be provided.

It's official, project Miata is dead. I just bought a new Porsche. Too many cars and this project wasn't getting anywhere.
Here's some stuff I got:
MSM Billstiens QA1 7k / 6k springs Allstar Sleeves $500 + stock suspension
recaro seats $500
RB Tubular Front Sway Bar, new $170
Wittyworks full turbo setup $2,000 see here: https://www.miataturbo.net/miata-par...rcooler-58114/
I will have to go see what all else I have.

Will sell complete package including everything I have for $4,250 (including the car itself). Try finding that deal anywhere else.

I can finally say that I am a proud new owner of a 1995 Mazda Miata.
I picked her up in Canada for $750 from a guy who couldn't get it licensed there after he bought it in California.

The Good:
-It was $750!
-The car runs and drives good
-It made it home without breaking
-I wanted a 1994-1995 to start with
-Brand new Tokico Shocks/Struts and springs

The Bad: (where to start)
-Paint looks like dick (direct quote from a member here)
-Interior looks like a bum lived in it along with his pet rats
-Heavy cheap wheels
-No door panels
-Missing CD player plus bezel trim
-Missing instrument cluster trim
-Trunk is all kinds of jacked up and the battery is straight up mickey mouse special

First things first:
-Pull out the seats and clean for a few hours

Maintenance Round 1:
-Engine Temp. gauge does not work
-Driver's door is jammed up and does not open
-Flush radiator and change fluids
-Plugs, wires, filters

Make it acceptable to sit/drive in stage:
Interior:
Purchased already:
-Sparco Seats
-Radio Bezel
-Instrument cluster trim
-Steering wheel
-Shift Boot

Need to purchase:
-Door panels
-Instrument cluster trim
-Rear window repair "kit"


Build Stage 1:
Suspension

Already installed:
-Tokico Shocks/Struts
-Tokico Lowering springs
Need to Purchase:
-RacingBeat front sway bar (Should I get the adjustable end-links too?)
-Enkie RPF1's Mmmmm...

I will keep everyone updated as I go, she isn't much to look at now, but she sure is fun!

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1385013218
Again....WTF? New steering wheel: check

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1385013218
Bum who used to live in it: evicted. Sparco Seats: On their way!



Thanks for looking, I am very excited to tear into this little beast all summer.


I agree blloyd29! You have the reason to be proud of:) Miata became the rage whatever it is.:) I think your car still looks good and I also love the color:)
