any heavy miata drivers?
 

I got to thinking about power to weight, compared to my sister's car...and my 188lbs doesn't help my cause.

Anyone else heavy as hell?

I weigh 205lbs. I am not all that tall either.

<--- 200 :gtfo:

I'm 6' 200# (was 215, thanks trimspa) :beer:

140... heaviest I've ever weighed... I need the weather to get warm and start exercising....

little under 6'3 165lbs....yeah sorry i don't feel the pain i guess
this also means my arms are skinny as hell and i can reach about everywhere on the miata without removing much of anything. Not always a good thing being light though.

225 today oh well gues i need to get in some more raod work, and go back to 215. 188 comeon now hustler i had that in the 8th grade. :gay: it's those damn alaskans and japanesse who make cars we cant get our meaty hands into to work on them. Why the sway bar is in the way of taking of the cranck pulley bolt i'll never know. :rofl:

I weighed that 2 years ago...lol.

I didn't break 100lb until I was 15.

6'4" and a squish over 250lbs (depends on the time of the month).

Realy wow youve done well for yourself. Good job.

6'3" 250 - Thank you Guinness :beer:

190-200, a few extra psi is all you need. :gay:

I'm 6'1 and 180lbs. The only problem I have is the fact that I have to look through the top of the windshield. I'd love to lose my visors, but the current SCCA class rules don't allow that :(.

6', 240.

i sing that song chris farley did to david spade when he tried on his jacket in "tommyboy", mine goes something like, " fat guy in a lit-le caaaaar..."

5'11", 203 lbs, 20%BF at last weigh-in.

6ft 230ish...... haven't been sub-200 since the 7th grade.... of course I also haven't grown more than 2 inches since then either..... I was a big kid

5'8", 147 lbs, 3%BF at last weigh-in. :cry: I can't row flyweight anymore! (Cutoff is 140)

But I still fit well in the Miata

I was the same way as some of you guys. I was 5'7" in 8th grade, and only grew 2 more inches since then. I am 11% bodyfat also and this is the lightest I have been since 10th grade. My junior year I got up to 235lbs and I was just massive at that point, and just felt strange. Perfect body for playing football though.

<--140

its funny, a friend of mine sweared that body weight would not affect straight line acceleration and told him i could feel a difference with my doughnut gone.

so i lined up my slow ass civic dx against his mx3 and it was dead even. then we switched drivers from a roll in one gear to take out any driver abilities and i pulled him by a 1/2 car bahaha he was about 210

5'11" 195

5'11 250, stupid sports, used to be 205 still fatty but damn good, blew out my knee and Im still working on in getting it under control.

Edit: Even when i was in decent shape my chest was still a 46 (played 4 sports through HS)

Im 6'foot 195lbs....damn desk job....anyway I did use to weigh 385 pounds when I was 16, then 17-18 down to 167lbs at 5'10 then back up to 220 when I fell into a depression and crap(sucks)...and now Im 20 6'0ft 195 and trying to get back down to 180....the rollicoster wee what a ride!

Is that 385 right? or a typo? But if it isnt impressive keep up the good work.

werd. i played hockey for almost 12 years and had a catastrophic knee injury. reinjured it after that. i can't really run, can't do any high-impact exercise. i walk alot, but i need to get my knee scoped again...some days it feels like someone slowly pushing an exacto knife through my knee, then somedays it's just fine.

i weighed 190 at 6' when i played.

:bigtu: :eek4: THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE pounds when I was 16 years old an wee oversized laddie lol:eek4: crazy eh!

I was kinda like this kid.....a wee bit smaller 48" waist now im at 34"

Oh i hear you, one knee feels like someone is pulling tape off of my skin from the inside, the other feels.. well you know when you kneel down and kneel on a rock? Yeah like that, cept im not kneeling

. Specially with this weather, temp swings kill me.

Ive been having good luck with raquetball and that eliptical thing

How did you lose all that weight?

im 6'1" and around 240. Luckily i have a longer torso so my legs arent squished in the miata.

5'11" 220

lol 110-120.
yea i know i should become a horse jockey

Up to 240#. Thank god for turbochargers!

hahaha this thread reminds me of myself and my friend dre on here we were talkin about this last week. I'm 6'2 200lbs myself.. hes 6'2 240 lbs I think.

Being heavier just means that I need to learn to drive a little bit better than my lightweight opponant! I even autocross with a co-pilot since im just driving for fun right now.

Yup I've gained 15-20 lbs within the past 11 months after destroying my knee & leg. I've just gotten to the point where I can take my dog on short walks around the neighborhood. No jogging yet, and certainly no sports. Sucks.

Gotta say, I'm surprised at how many big muthas there are on this forum driving these tiny cars. You guys make hustler a flyweight.

I still exercise regularly - it's the only thing that keeps me sane sitting behind a computer for a living.

Rican had me beet when he was a kid, but he probably wasn't driving a Miata then. Currently I'm 299. Just 1 Twinkie away from 300.

Are some of you guys running different spring rates on the driver side?

:)

Frank

6'1 - 190lbs

6-2 to 6-3 here and 207.
My friend is 6-3 and 280, owns 3 miatas, lol. No, that is not one for each butt cheak, plus a spare.


Jason

No, but without 200lbs in the driver's seat the car sits 1/4" higher on the driver's front and 1/2" higher on the driver's rear. With me in the car it's level.

BTW,
Average American male is 5'9.4" and 202 lbs.

60 years ago, the average was 5'7" and 160 lbs.

Just about 6ft, and 194lbs.

6'-0" weight fluctuates between 190-210 depending on how often I am going to the gym.

Just diet and weight lifting....then after I lost most of my weight I got my first g/f, then I got laid....then I lost more weight to look better and get laid more ha lol jp but it was hard, I ate Alot of garbage when I was a kid

Dude im 5'7" and weigh about 125-130. i was 145 this time last year but havent had the time to go to the gym or even EAT more than like 1 meal a day recently. i work so much and when i get off im just to tired. we lost some of our other managers at work so ive had to pick up the slack haha....OT baby

5'10 260, gained some weight after my motorcycle accident. now Im dieting and loosing a little weight at a time.

lol 5'9 200.. 100% bodyfat.

around 6' 205
funny how so many of us 200+ people have miatas

The best part is when some fuckface is driving behind you and making remarks of the miata being a girly car. Then he comes up beside you and realizes that the driver of this girlie car is more manly than he could ever be. You see those guys quite often out here in Hawaii and they usually have their gf's in the passenger seats.

5'7 and 120. Keep in mind im 17

And a girl.

wow i am 135 and 5'7''.. cant imagine getting any skinnier

5'8" 215lbs

Best is when you follow them after they say shit, and how fucking scared they are.

Thank god Ive stopped doing that.... stupidity of an 18 year old

5' 11'' & 160 lbs... +/- 5 lbs.

+1 it is a standing joke at work that i take off the top to get into my miata. :gay:
