Track day bro

>>14281729
She's a qt3.14, anon.
Here's another snowy, happy Miata for your troubles.
>>14281760
Thanks Anon,
I got her for $3300 and I can't stop thinking about her
>>14281760

>>14282089
Also, new fluids like the clutch fluid and brake fluid. Semi metallic brake pads as well.
Damn, giving out this modlist makes me feel like I've sunken some money into mine. Don't even care mang.
Next is rollbar, lowering kit, new wheels, Maaco paintjob, and I'll be 100% happy.

Why are all these headlights up with no lights on. Can none of you u faggos afford to replace the motor
Does anyone of you know what could be the issue when my headlights won't go up when I'm turning on the light on the stalk. They will only go up if press the button on the dash.
>>14284251
they work off the same relay so it's proboably the switch in the stalk
>>14284005
Because kawaii.

Welp. Swapped relays with a friend to see if that was indeed the problem and my soldering skills a shit. It did fix the lights, so at least I know what needs replaced. Now I'm debating if I should buy Koni STR.Ts or Koni Sport shocks. Haven't heard much about the STR.Ts... wise old guy in the club recommends that if I'm on a budget, to get the Sensen shocks for $100 from Rock Auto. Might go that route. I'd like to get the Koni Sports and FM lowering springs but muh budget right now. Also already shelling out $430 on a timing belt/water pump kit and a used Cobalt oil cooler. And I might be picking up a basically new SuperMiata Wilwood Big Brake kit from a friend who's parting his car out... probably not, but gotta save up for that just in case I can call dibs on it huehuehuehue.
>Tfw not sure if I should be putting the money in the timing belt/water pump kit towards a K series swap instead
Only 80k miles tho... so I guess not.

Enkei's look so proper, hnnnnnnnng. Pic related, a friend's miat looking so P R O P E R . AND THAT FUCKING LIP... MUH DICK RRRGHHH
Personally, if I had the monies, I'd get Watanabes.
>>14284879
I was thinking about getting another set of RPF1s, but in 15x8 this time. Not sure though. I'm trying to find some old school JDM wheels for it right now, but I can't find anything in good shape at a good price.
Jelly of those Jet Stream headlights though.
>>14279877
white miat best miat
>>14284836
>Koni STR.Ts or Koni Sport
Don't get STR.Ts, they are basically a stock replacement shock, but cost way too much for that.
Sensen are also stock replacement, but a lot cheaper. They will probably last less then 30k miles though.
KYBs are also a stock replacement, will last twice as long and cost twice as much.
I like to tell people it's a Ford Mustang when they ask me what it is.
>>14285453
I'm contemplating on rather to upgrade my little miata to make it better or just trade my miata +8 grand for an FD. Am I thinking it smart for wanting to start adding shit to a better platform?
>>14285453
>someone on /o/ actually owns a new miata
cool
Roll bar should be here next week hyped af
>>14285503
God machine, obviously.
Though it doesn't have that "god fucking damn it, a gay car overtook me" factor that miata has.
>>14283517
Do those door bushings actually do anything? They're cheap, but I'm kinda skeptical. I could see them reducing rattles, but the rest of the car makes so much noise it wouldn't even matter

Putting in a new radiator in a few weeks when I change the timing belt and water pump. Hopefully some bronze 6ULs and better tires once it warms up, too.
Some guy said "hey nice miata" while I was getting lunch today. First time since getting the car last week.
Am I the only faggot rocking Mariner Blue?
Should I get uprated anti roll bars?
I have uprated springs and shocks, but I feel like there's too much body roll.
>>14285685
Get a sway bar. Or strut tower bar things. Or under body bracing.
>>14285716
I only want to do one mod, because I cant justify spending over a grand on bolting metal bits to a 20 year old car.
>>14285676
whats up with that retarded circle
>>14285796
That's where the number goes.
>>14285676
>>14285796
and yellow turn signals lmao
>>14285676
you friends with that dude that has a white aw11 with a red sun on the side?
Fact: anyone who denies their attraction to Miatas, Hayabusas, and other "feminine" vehicles is covering their cock lust with homophobia. They should just suck some dick at a glory hole and learn to love their life.
>tfw no Miata or other cheap sports car yet, but may buy one in 2016
>Always wanted a Miata
>>14285840
How is a Hayabusa feminine?
Dodge/plymouth neon is also pretty gay, but not worse than the miata because at least the neon is American
>>14285840
I think you're just gay.
>>14285847
Dem curves. It's a qt short chubby chick.
>>14285955
Qt short chubby chick? Dude I don't think short and chubby make cute . Maybe you just want it to be feminine you queer.>>14285955
>>14282089
>miata fags consider any of these things mods
Holy shit. It's like you're okay with shit acceleration and low top end. Work on your engine for God's sake.
semi related, been fucking around in Forza 3 with my roommate, pouring all our in game money into this. As of right now it's in R3 and we got it up to 230 on the Mulsanne Straight.
So I think yall finally convinced me to get one of these things. Is there really a difference between the NA and NB besides the headlights? I'd prefer to get a NA, but I've heard that some years of the NA are shit. Which years of the NA are safe to get?
>>14286272
>yall finally convinced me to get one of these things
Don't. You will comw whining about how you don't like the interior noise and the weak engine and about how we made you get a faggy car two weeks later.
>>14285676
nah nigga
>>14286272
The 90s and 91s have short nose cranks, which will break. Earlier NAs have the weaker 1.6 engine, so avoid that, if for no other reason than relative lack of aftermarket. Other NA Miatas are fine.
NBs are generally regarded as better, but maybe drive them both and see which you prefer.
Go here and read about the differences

>>14285820
No but that sounds awesome. I came across this Mr.2 the other day. I thought it was neat.
>>14286409
>The 90s and 91s have short nose cranks, which will break.
Half true. There is a certian VIN after which all Miata's made have the proper Long nose crank. This can be determined by looking at the crankshaft pully, pic related is Long nose, short has less cut outs, or the VIN #.
http://www.miata.net/garage/crankshaft.html
>If you have a 1991 with VIN 209447 or more, you're safe.
>Earlier NAs have the weaker 1.6 engine, so avoid that, if for no other reason than relative lack of aftermarket. Other NA Miatas are fine.
Also half true. While the 1.6 has a less powerful (barely) engine, the aftermarket is by no means lacking, Flyin Miata, Goodwin Racing, and 949Racing all have lots of performance parts for it.
>>14286823
>>14281918

Im actually looking into buying a miata and possibly making it a drift car anything i should know before doing it?

>>14286166
Some of us actually can't upgrade our engines, some of us autoX and the stock classes (the funnest) won't allow engine modifications, otherwise the owners would rather do suspension mods since thats what these cars were made for anyways.
>>14283517
Why would you delete the clutch lock?
>>14285622
Definitely, the doors are one of the most important parts on these cars. There was a video of a dude doing donuts in a Miata with no doors and at the end of the video the windshield was cracked from all the bending. The rubber door bushings that came stock are garbage.
>>14286349
>>14285676
Nope.
>>14285258
RIP... yeah, I'm aware of the Sensens being stock replacement. Not expecting any performance from it. Just need to replace my blown stock ones ASAP before these rough as shit roads break more shit.
>>14285676

>>14287073
god damn that car is nasty clean. Is that the stock paint? Absolutely gorgeous. Also seen you on r/miata
>>14287385
>why would you delete the clutch lock
apparently it's better for your thrust bearing. when you start your car with the clutch in, it puts load on the thrust bearing with no oil pressure. also I like being able to start the car without being in the driver's seat (just reach through the window)
>>14285622
yeah I'd say door bushings make a noticeable difference in rigidity
>>14288272

I'm 6'1 and yes I pass, not by a lot though. Most of my height is in my legs. If you're taller than 6'1 I wouldnt count on passing. Hard dog makes a bar with larger piping that's 1.75" instead of 1.5", it's the fatboy and if you're really concerned about it, I'd recommending getting the thicker one
>>14289408
thanks for letting me know. I'm also 6'1 so I think I should be ok getting the same roll bar you have. might go with the fat boy anyway just to be on the safe side
