N00b in Orlando FL

Hey guys,
My name is Colin (obviously) and I live in Orlando. I have a 1994 M Edition with about 150 clicks on the clock. I'm mostly a pre 95' Mercedes guy, but I bought the Miata back in October and absolutely love it. I plan on doing a cheap turbo build and some other stuff to it sometime soon (see thread I'm about to post). Here she blows... https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1333511497 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1333511497 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1333511497 The day I got her (and an E320 wagon). Here are three prior to it being shipped in from Kansas. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1333511497 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1333511497 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1333511497 Looks interesting right? Well it's 60% M-Edition and 40% LE. Car had hail damage and my friend that I bought it from swapped out the bad body panels for good/decent ones off of a totaled LE. Interior also got the swap too, and the soft top is only about a year old. Anyone want to take a guess at what I paid for it? |
Nice Miata(especially the red leather). I read your other thread, have you tried the auto-x event at CFRC? It'll probably be much more fulfilling than 1/4 mile drag on a stock NA.
|
^Thanks, it's a hodgepodge Miata but I quite enjoy it. The LE the interior came off of had something like 215,000 on it so it's VERY impressive how nice it is! I think it works pretty well without the red dash.
I guess I should have been more specific in that thread, but it's my "fun" car so I'd like to take it to a track/autocross/drag strip and have it be fun and versatile. I've autocrossed before but not in the Miata. I have a full set of poly bushings to install, and am working on getting some Illuminas and FM springs. This will be a priority over the turbo. Where are you in Orlando? |
Welcome, colincoon!

lol, the differential is worth more than you paid for the car - that's win right there!
|
Yup! $500 and I love my Torsen <3. When I first got it it had crap tires and I spun a good 5 times in the rain thanks to that plus the diff.
|
$500, that's crazy :)
|
500 huh? I hate you now...
Salvage title? Either way, that's the way to do it for a 'fun-car'. Welcome, he says begrudgingly... |
$500 and I have had absolutely zero problems with it.
Nope regular title, no salvage or anything. I thought it would be a good idea, considering my 300TD has 86hp and doesn't get the best economy for the price of diesel. I love the Miata so far, it's fun when it needs to be and practical all the time. Thanks :D |
