So I will be selling my wheels and tires for $900 Thursday.

I am in the process of building a turbo 91. It is already 1.8 swapped, I have a turbo, 1.8 diff, intercooler, BOV, and external wastegate sitting at the house.....

With said money I am torn between:

More wheels and tires (I have stockers to roll the car around on).

A 220 tig machine that is AC/DC.

Pay off some small bills that will be paid up in three months anyways.

So I need some MT Logic.... Gives meh.

Also, how many street miles are y'all getting out of your 200 tread ware 225/45 tires?

Bills.

Bills. Always bills first.

Bills are your vegetables. Miata is dessert.

I concur with bills first. As to the tire question, I currently have 15k miles and 6 track days on my rivals and they still haven't hit the wear bars.

Can I propose another question....

Those of you with a Tig machine: Do you make extra money off of it by doing side work? I'll be going to school in October and am wondering if it would be a worthy investment before hand.

I don't have a TIG, nor can i weld, but if i did and could, i'd make bank with side projects.

I weld for a living. Although it is MIG and stick, a friend of mine has shown me how to TIG and let me use his machine. It isn't that hard. I've only practiced about five minutes, but steel and stainless is a cake walk, aluminum on the other hand, I need to practice.

Pay some bills, and then use the rest for safety items like a roll bar, or suspension items if you don't have them Sways? Possibly motor mounts or replace worn bushings.

fwiw, mean ones are typically more fun. Just make sure she (or he i suppose) is attractive.

How about ones with adams apple? Do those qualify as "mean"?

Assuming we arent still on the bills proposal, a better tranny? In my limited experience that would be your weak point with a 1.8 engine and rear diff.

Tranny with an adams apple?

Better trannies DON'T have adam's apples.

I gotta second TheScaryOne here. Hire a nice, reputable prostitute for one evening and have her clip your toenails while you are submerged up to your nose in a bathtub filled with warm Pepto-Bismol and surrounded by garden gnomes, in a room bathed in blacklight while Ozric Tentacles blasts out of the stereo in the background.
