Agreed. How do you smog that FX in Cali with a Haltech?

I don't. The car is registered out of state. Four years so far so good...

Far easier than converting back to stock every couple of years. ;)

2003 Infiniti FX35 (VQ35DE - same as 350Z & G35)

Wow that's awesome! Do you have a build thread anywhere?

My daily is a 2011 Honda Fit base 5MT I bought brand new. It's actually what got me hooked on autocross and track after a friend egged me into going to a track day with it.

https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...076b1e3fcc.jpg

It may be slow, but it is super practical. Fits my whole drum kit in the trunk.

Once I got the miata I got tired of the wallowy ride of the Fit so I threw some coils on it.

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...7395a9767a.jpg

Also did a nice sound system and some interior painting and such.

Purple steelies for winter cause I have an inner ricer in me somewhere...
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...42b138fc83.jpg

Pulled most of it apart recently to do some rust work and protection. Hoping it lasts another 5-8 years.

I do about 2000 commuting miles a month, so this is my daily. It has autopilot so I can work in the car.

SWEET!!! Can a BP6 be installed in them? I mean, factory they are 1.3, right?

concealer404 08-08-2017 12:54 PM

B6, BP, even a few FE3 and KL powered Festers running around.

pc9527 08-08-2017 07:39 PM

My daily is a 07 Honda Fit automatic. Boring car but mpg is close to 35

B6Tfastiva 08-08-2017 09:34 PM

Yeah just about every fwd mazda engine and trans has been swapped in. The 1.6 with the festiva trans is probably the easiest though.

Scrambles 08-11-2017 12:42 PM

Traded in the BRZ for this thing. It's much nicer to daily or road trip. Got a great deal on a '17 6-speed, as the new 18s had just been delivered. After two years with a Subaru/Toyota product, I forgot how alarmingly good Mazda is at manual transmissions. However, the hill assist is very annoying.

My wife thinks I'm maturing, and is pleased that I'm making such sensible decisions about transportation. Little does she know, wheels have been set in motion that cannot be stopped. A practical daily is step-one in a long con towards another loud, uncomfortable, usually broken, and highly impracticable miata. :party:

calteg 08-15-2017 03:18 PM

Just realized I don't have any photos of it. Basically this, but the wheels are a dark dark bronze. 415hp, seats 4, reliable as an anvil, lifetime average 20.3mpg. Will get 26mpg on pure highway hauls. It made me a believer in this newfangled technology that keeps invading my beloved cars.

I wish my laguna blue paint looked that good still. I've also wanted a termi since I was 13 (when they came out basically).

Laguna only has like 60k miles on it, so that helps I think. I also recently corrected the paint half ass, and that brought a TON of life back into the painthttps://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...1f401022c.jpegAs far as the terminator goes, I freaking love it! Always wanted one, got the best color, IMO, competition orange, and I’ll probably be buried in it, lol.

z31maniac 11-20-2017 11:30 AM

Awesome. One of my best memories is riding along at Hallett with my uncle in his tuned Termi. Seriously fast dam car.

skidude 12-06-2017 03:37 PM

I don't see many of you driving volvos.
This is my daily in the winter. I switch pretty evenly between the wagon and the miata in the summer, though I just picked this up in August so we will see how even it is next year.
Turbo, AWD wagon. Not a manual though. I call it the red rocket.
