It was basically the nicest, cleanest NB I've ever been in that had a good tune. I say that because most of us hobbyist tuners have ****-heaps.

 

its the black version of my car

 

Your car your car, or MY car your car?

 

my current car my car. same hotside parts, same ecu, same year, mileage, etc
I even had the exact same turbo as him (which is actually quite rare), but sold it for a 60rs

 

Ahh. I was just confused since last time I saw your build thread you were still running limp noodle NA.

 

 

I could have changed the coolant more often.

Anyway, all it takes to build a car is patience, cash, and tools. It's not rocket science unless you're building a rocket car.

I'm surprised you never got yours to the elite level with all you've put into it.

the only advantage I had with this car is I knew its entire history from day one.

 

Racist.

Why? I don't buy "it was time." Surely, you had a reason.

 

I have had my 95 since it was new. I could not imagine getting rid of it.

y8s, do you think you will get another one? Perhaps current gen or next gen?

 

you want a reason?

here's some:

I felt cramped in it
I couldn't drive my kid around in it
The weather here is not black-miata-friendly (too hot or too cold)
It was too easy to want to get into big trouble on public roads

Sure it's a fun car and fast like whoa, but really I've reached a part of my life where having a highly modified impractical car is less fun than not having to worry about it. It had become a liability so off it went.

 

Sad.

But don't worry. Kids grow up and then you reach the part of your life where having a highly-modified, impractical car is fun again.

It's fun being the "cool" grandpa.

 

lol
Why not?
I feels ya
That's the #1 reason I didn't put the turbo stuff in my daily. I would be in jail.
If we have any sort of an economy in 18-years, buy a racecar. I'll still be racing Miatas then.

People give me a lot of **** over my old, ugly daily. Even though I make great cash, reality is that it cost me about $47/month to insure, tires are $240/set, oil change is $23, and I get over 35mpg. I save a mega-ton of money by not owning "something respectable".

 

So are you going to step down as mod so the random pic thread will be fun again?

 

I stopped visiting that thread specifically because of h8s

Still love you boo

unsafe if not illegal

that thread sucks so hard when you all blather on about muscle cars and metal bands.

 

And sucks even harder when people post completely not funny, or entertaining, or even interesting pictures JUST to make a post.

So I guess it sucks either way.

I aint even mad tho. Plenty of other threads to browse.

 

there's no rule that says you have to post crap.

actually there's no rule that says you have to post a picture. I made it up for my own pleasure.

 

I liked how fast y8s liked to drive up curbs with it.

 

So I'm curious: what next? is the pooper scooper yours or the wifes? in which case, are you REALLY considering getting a super old pos beater like you're hinting in the other thread?

 

There came a point in my life where that was a big issue with me as well. That is one of the reasons I have converted my car to pretty much a track car, with maybe an occasional trip to the local street scene. I have my doubts that I will have a really fast daily driver ever.

It is nice to go to a place where you can go wide open without fear of retribution.
