Hey whats up everyone? My name is Josh, and I recently traded my '07 Cobalt SS in on a pristine '05 lava orange Mazdaspeed Miata. Having owned an '88 RX-7 convertible in the past, I can easily say it's nice to get back to my roots behind the wheel of a convertible Mazda :D
Anywho, I have big plans for the car, but I just wanted to stop in and introduce myself. I look forward to meeting you all! Here are a few pics I took @ my friend's house while out on my half hour test drive :) Attachment 197968 Attachment 197969 |
Welcome to the forum.
|
Nice looking car, welcome.
|
Good call on the trade in.
|
Thank you for the warm welcomes everyone!
I was just informed over on miata.net that there were only 394 lava orange Mazdaspeeds ever made! That blew my mind! |
Hi Josh, Josh here. Welcome, and please don't turn into a "my car is too rare to mod" person, kthnxbye.
|

lol oh no worries there. Already have alot of big plans for it, including Stance GR+ coilovers, some custom low offset 16" J-Line 6SL2's and the Flyin' Miata little enchilada kit :bigtu:
|
Ditch the Stance setup for FCM Bilsteins and the 16's for some uber sweet 15x9 6UL's. Once you have that setup, you'll never turn back :)

I guess you haven't seen what the new chevy engine is capable of. ZZP has a few 400 horse cars running around on stock bottom ends IIRC
However, I was very bored with Cobalt's.....make that FWD cars as a whole. Maybe i'm in the wrong place, but I didn't get the car for power. The power is certainly a plus, and I enjoy driving it. But the end goal is to be a hard parker. |
Troll says what? WTF is a hard parker. You might fit in better at cr.net.

Liked asked before, what is a "hard parker"? Was that term coined in the vdub world or something? not being an ass, but more serious as i've never heard that before.

Who said I didn't have money? I spent most of the money I had saved on the down payment for the Miata. But I stripped alot of stuff off of the Cobalt.....most of which is already spoken for. I'll be using some of that money to get a start on things, and then chip away at what I want to do from there. But no worries, i'll be using the factory 17"s as a track setup.........so it won't always be a hard parker. Just most of the time. |

there is only one y8s. and you cant afford. duck. and then run. also have you seen clubroadster.net and mazda-speed.net? those guys love cars that are only 1 out of 394 and parked hard. they LOVE them. seriously. Like sex with tailpipe love. And no, I haven't checked those sites out yet. My friend Jason told me about clubroadster, but I haven't visited the site yet. So far i've just joined here, miata.net and roadsterdrift.com. Thanks for the input man. I like your obnoxious sense of humor. No homo. |

Tell ya what dude. Send me an exact spec sheet of your car. Year, color, options, what you have done to it......then I can make an exact replica of your car. And then you'll think i'm cool/have a cool car and we can be friends :jerkit: |
