I bought a '91 Miata ~16 months ago

I plan on modifying it

I've been reading this board for over a year, and though I still feel like I don't have much to contribute on a technical level (and I don't post ***** like some people), I figured I might as well get this bullshit over with in case I ever wanted to post something or start a thread (I've seen how you guys abuse "newbs")...

So...ta-da

 

So, how did the assimilation go? Any chafing or irritation from the implants?

 

Pics of your mom's feet pls

 

Put shoe on head.

 

Hi

 

Meep!

 

Perhaps you'd like an analgesic cream?

 

op was assimilated

 

Naw mang, this guys legit. Post #1 callin' out n00bs for bumping ancient threads.

Welcome! Now let's see some pics of that car.

 

Nothing some of your mom's ointment can't fix

edit: or should I say..."mom"

 

I think Hubble should be used for better purposes...

Hi

I couldn't help myself

I don't know if I have any pictures of it together...

I think all I have are pictures of it in pieces

 

I assume your username is a reference to a GVR-4. Do you still own it. Is it a crap-trap?

 

Ewww no

My '91 BRG Miata is #718 according to the plaque...

 

Ah. I assumed it was your Borg identification.

(I honestly had no idea that they had a serialized special edition in '91. Now I know.)

 

I didn't know either until I went to look at the car.

The seller thought highly of it being a special edition, but I didn't have the heart to tell him I was planning on gutting it and removing everything that made it "special".

But yes, the Borg thing was also on my mind, though I'm not as pretty as 7 of 9. Sorry

 

Violated

 

don't post this on Mnet

 

post this on Mnet

Then post your SE parts for sale on CR

 

Will death threats ensue?

So I shouldn't have thrown out all the SE parts? Whoopsy



I remember someone on here saying that the chassis is more or less a consumable. Something happens, just move all the expensive bits to the next chassis and keep driving.

 

Funny, it kind of depends on who you talk to.

We've got a couple of folks on here who seem to view their entire drivetrain as a consumable. Blew the transmission on the dyno? Grab another one and continue the session. Hole blown through the case? Good excuse to finally use those H-beam rods that I've had lying around. Differential exploded on the racetrack? Grab the one out of your buddy's daily driver and head back out.
