Hey guys! I recently picked up a Miata and I have joined a few Miata forums so I will just copy my intro from one of them!
I am a FWD Honda kid coming into the Mazda world, I have previously owned a 91 Acura integra, and I currently own 3 Honda Accord CD chassis, two 94's and one 96. I have always been a honda kid at heart but for some reason I was always attracted to the NA Miata chassis. Ever since I had first seen them as a kid, I just knew there was some fun to be had in them and I never knew why, Until I managed to get my hands on one. :D Browsing the local classified I spotted a 91 mazda Miata, Smurf Blue. The owner wanted $2200 and I booked a time to view the vehicle. I took the thing out for a drive and I came back grinning ear to ear, it was probably the most fun I had in any vehicle. I shot back and forth with the owner and managed to pick the thing up for $1700. It needed a bit of work which I promptly got onto :D And boy RWD is so much easier to work on! So much room! I replaced: The Radiator The clutch master and slave Reverse switch(reverse lights where broken) Front swaybar end links And I also: Re-duct taped the rear window on the roof (hehehe) De-blacked out the ricey signals/sidemarkers Gave her a nice ol wash and a wax The car drove great until I blew out the 1.6L diff so I'm currently trying to source a new 1.8L diff or another 1.6 to hold me off for a while. Here's a photo of me and my Toy the day I got her https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1375488333 I currently have my eyes on a Set of Pirelli P-slots for my wheels, here's a photo of them, although mine are coming with center caps! https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1375488333 Thanks for reading! |
What does such a wheel weight?

Quick Google search shows 15-16 lbs.
