The title says it all. This car will be for sale very soon.

Oh... almost forgot... Hello all!

Where's Huslter when we need him?

Pina06 08-13-2010 11:28 PM

not sure what you mean... I have a feeling youre slamming me.

Import Al 08-13-2010 11:33 PM

You should actually introduce yourself & contribute something before just trying to sell your car here.

chpmnsws6 08-13-2010 11:45 PM

I'd have to give him an A for honesty though. Most people just make useless stupid posts.

Pina06 08-14-2010 12:00 AM

Not sure what I can contribute but I can say one thing. When my friend called me up 11 years ago and said, "Hey man, I got this car I'm looking at."
"What is it?"
"Its a miata." He said.
"pffft. A miata? Are you kidding me?"
"Its only $800 bucks dude..."
"When can I pick it up?"

He was at an auction trying to find a car I could Autocross with. I feel in love the night I picked it up.

I get your point though.

curly 08-14-2010 12:03 AM

We'd just like you to contribute to the forum in a useful way before you benefit from us by finding a buyer on this site, if that's what ends up happening.

We're not really stopping you. If you keep responding to the posts in this thread, you'll eventually have 10 posts and you can put your car up for sale.

But we'll just put a picture of a penis as your avatar. No joke.

chpmnsws6 08-14-2010 12:13 AM

Disco ball banana hammock?

Pina06 08-14-2010 12:14 AM

Well... I found this site last year... Never really used it. Kids take up my time and money these days... Don't even have time to show my car any more. Not trying to "use" anybody. I just want my car to go to a good home. If this is the right place, cool. If not... so be it.

I've been working on this car for 11 years. Given many different people advice along the way and took advice. I don't want to get hooked on the idea of keeping my car. I need to let it go. It is time.

turotufas 08-14-2010 12:23 AM

Wow, $800 11 years ago. SUPER steal. Post some pics?

Pina06 08-14-2010 12:28 AM

Pics are at my sig. Gallery/customer cars/2nd page

No engine pics though. Not sure what happened to them during the site change.

leatherface24 08-14-2010 12:21 PM

Well considering your honesty, i cant say your disco dick avatar worthy but perhaps i need to find something other than disco dick for honest guys who just wanna sell stuff here and leave

Pitlab77 08-14-2010 02:03 PM

Omg. Just the car i was looking for

shlammed 08-14-2010 02:33 PM

Your mixing manifold is a little square, but I like it. No knock, it looks like a clean setup.

they definitely do. it's like they're all "self-centered socialist" types. they deny what's actually good for the community (having for-sale ads in the classifieds that are neither spam nor from someone with commercial interests) and force you to contribute/share knowledge that would probably be pretty general, minimally helpful to the OP, but chances are your "forced post" wont be 100% right and simply allows them for more entertaining opportunities to make snide remarks.

edit- note that "them" is undefined ^_^

If we were to not have the 10 post minimum, 99% of ads would be spam or from commercial interest, as it used to be. Hence the rule. And although the original poster of this thread may have contributed much to the miata community, we simply cannot bend the rules for special cases, it would get out of hand. Instead we just let members let their inner asshole out when someone breaks the rules. It's their choice follow the rules or get made fun of, could be worse.

But please, continue to knock on our systems and rules, see where that gets you.

Now on to something completely different to the OP. The setup looks great, good job.

Thank you. I think our writing skills could mutually benefit each other. Expect a PM every time I see a comma splice or a lack of parallel structure. ;)

dustinb style comment to the OP:
I love your pants! They look amazing.

Useful comment to the OP:
Your turbo says AiResearch on the casting. I believe that would be an attribute of a genuine turbo, but I'm not sure if China is allowed to copy that. You may want to specify more on the turbo and include a picture with a proper air filter.

fooger03 08-15-2010 04:42 PM

How are you running 17psi on 440s? You at 100% duty cycle?

18psi 08-15-2010 06:21 PM

that paint job makes me throw up in my mouth. I don't think it could get any gayer if you tried.

even my wife who doesn't know much about cars and usually calls everything "nice", called this utter hunk of fucking fagottry "EWWWWW, THAT THING IS GAY"

hahahhah

Don't bother capitalizing "i" because if I were you I probably wouldn't have enough confidence to do so either.

Also, I managed to make sense of your post even though it might make my 3rd grade English teacher kill herself. Please at least make an effort to not look so dumb. kthxbai.

Furthermore, I know half the population here is gay for cats, but don't think your sig is a get out of jail free card. :p

chpmnsws6 08-15-2010 06:35 PM

Paint is subjective, as I think it looks better then the boring all white paint it was. Lack of filter- If I were in the market for a car and was interested in your car before that picture, it would have been enough for me to walk away laughing.

Not sure why someone would buy a knockoff turbo... can you even get them? I have way too much money in that car to skimp on anything.

BTW, I have to say... this place is nothing like Ive heard...

Yeah they have chinese T3 Super 60s out there. Apparently the chinachargers aren't too bad, but it's always best to clarify when selling a car.

mt.net has quite the dichotomous reputation, being renowned for high levels of assholery and knowledge. That's just what happens when you have a popular forum full of smart/engineer-type assholes.

Pina06 08-15-2010 10:48 PM

If you had just put it on CL, it's like 99% likely someone would have linked it and this would have gone differently. We just don't like people coming here, putting up a few useless posts, and then selling/buying shit. I don't care if you are the fucking President, its just bad form.

So, now you look like a douche for being a pussy about it when people called you out and not just maning up.

Wow, so much gheyness. Thanks flipside.com, for ruining my idea to make a bad ass cressida. Now every ****** is going to walk up to me and ask if it is set up for drift. Fuckin 240 guys do that anyways to my car. I love the look on their face when I tell them I have no rear sway bar, and drifting is for crotch cannibals. What the fuck is that red ass car at the top of the flipside site? Only the bottom half? Worst pic ever.

In for ban of this jive turkey too. ------>catonakeyboardinspace

I actually came in here to post that.

I wonder if the 'builder' put more effort into this car than some of his other endeavors.

chpmnsws6 08-16-2010 03:21 AM

Tough crowd.... again, you have to at least acknowledge his honesty. Most spam up old threads while he's keeping within these confines.

As far as "have you ever dragged race"- I don't know you, but its safe to say I've spent more time at the drag strip and around drag cars then you ever will. The screens are fine for engines that will be pulled apart after 2-3 runs if they even make that many before venting the block. For bracket racers or guys who run anything short of funny cars or pro mod, you'll see a filter on their car, and most will make more power then 3-4 of our turbo engines combined. A 450rwhp LS1 needs a filter just a little bigger then the size of your fist IIRC.

mazpr 08-16-2010 06:36 AM

The compressor wheel filters most everything out....right?

OP, at 88% duty cycle, you need bigger injectors.

Hey OP I'm going to come to your house and say "listen I'm not going to beat around the bush or be pretentious: I'm going to fuck your wife". Then proceed to sodomize her.

I have definitely never been to a drag strip where the track was made out of cardboard.

fooger03 08-16-2010 10:22 AM

The air restriction that the chicken wire puts on the intake is probably far greater than a normal filter simply because of the airflow properties of the wire, combine that with the fact that the ability to filter fine particles out of the air is significantly reduced, and you have a win/win fail/fail situation!

I didnt see this post until chicksdig quoted it... and since it referred to a post that referred to mine, I'll take it as directed at me.

This isn't a for sale thread. The guy wasn't warned or banned. He was allowed to continue posting to reach his post limit so he could post in the classifieds (where crapping doesn't happen).

What gets me more annoyed with you though is the passive aggressive name-calling and criticism of how things allegedly go down here. If you have a problem with the site or the people who volunteer their time to moderate it, you have a couple ways to handle the situation:

1. be an offensive whiner in response to a tangentially related post in some random thread.

2. send a message to a mod, admin, or the site owner and tell them how you feel.

My car is built right. The fabrication is sick. most of the custom stuff is one-offs like the cro mo roll bar with race bar attachment, Full diff kit, the RX7 up-rights re-machined for 4x100, the lightened Drive-shaft made just for my application, the turbo manifold and the full exhaust.

I mean who gives a shit if the car runs low 12s on street tires if the paint is gay? right? Fucking assholes.:facepalm:

We already have to deal with the fact that we drive Miatas. A gay paint scheme is insult to injury. Check out the rides on this site and you'll know - WE GIVE A FUCK WHAT OUR CARS LOOK LIKE. Whoever buys this car is going to have to sand that shit off, reprimer, and repaint the car. That paint scheme has devauled the car by $7k to $10k.
