Default Aspiring Owner - biggest noob in the world



Hello guys, I've been driving a mazdaspeed protege since 2003. I've done pretty much every performance mod possible: gt28rs turbo, FMIC, forged internals, supporting mods. etc..

But it's time to add another mazda to the stable - I'm actively seeking out the right miata for me.

I'm joining to learn (a lot) from you guys and to hopefully become a solid contributor to your community.

Thanks for letting me lurk/learn!

Welcome to the site. Post up some pics of the protege when you get a chance. I've always liked them and yours sounds pretty well put together.

Clean looking car I have always liked them, but everyone who sells one thinks they are worth a million dollars. Welcome to the forum.

Yeah they are a little high. I can somewhat sympathize though: I bought mine new for 22.5 and put another 10 into it. But if I were to sell it would go for $6500. Sad, but I'll never let her go. haha.

What I don't understand is how people expect to get a big return on mods? Ya know?

Side note: I feel that miatas hold their value much better than the MSPs.
Side note #2: Your sig cracks me up.

I picked up a 2000 NB in silver today. It was owned by a 65 year old. Clean. Unmolested. I'll get some pics up this weekend!
