So, I saw my first boosted miata (other than mine)
 
So, we went down to import alliance at the nashville superspeedway and it is pretty fucking sweet. A lot of really clean cars. Also, some really interesting stuff such as the finished civette.

those are interesting tail lights on that white Miata...

Fireindc 07-26-2008 07:25 PM

Yea those tails are meh, theyd look better molded in imo.

Clean fucking car still.

samnavy 07-26-2008 07:26 PM

I don't like the tail-light surrounds at all, but I'm almost convinced on the fuel lid.

He's also got more money in his intercooler than a lot of guys around here do in their entire car.

Those are Garage Vary tail lights, they do look badass molded in, but at around $800 I'd want to be able to remove them.

TDR is ftw. Gary does a good job on those kits.

wes65 07-26-2008 08:56 PM

Yeah, it's a clean car. Not exactly my taste but it is clean none the less. I asked him if he was ever on here and he said no but he was on CR.net a lot. :P

I saw this miata there. It ran a 13.1 1/4th with 130hp. It is 160hp now. It weighs 1800lbs with a 9lb carbon fiber hardtop.

Does the fact that they weigh in at whopping 4 lbs. help ya any?

Also, Jimmys car has been the center of many a controversial thread on another forum. However, it speaks for itself with the potential of IRTBs.....

The BRG I looked at in richmond had that lid. Its uber ugly in person. I mean, it looks so large compared to the car that it almost looks like a cartoon or something.

Jimmy's car = that one = the car that jimmy claims all kinds of shit on and doesn't even drive it himself :)

Machismo 07-28-2008 02:28 PM

Yep, the black one is Jimmy's.

LOLZ for sho..... :giggle:

wes65 07-28-2008 02:37 PM

Well, whoever was driving it said that he was a "novice" and did a 1:15 but if "his driver" was in the car, he could probably do a 1:10

Where is the Civette?
