    it's a chick car. its gay. Its fun to drive, it gets great mileage, its cheap and simple to fix. With the knowledge Ive gained with what is approaching 20k RACE miles on our lemons miata, I feel like this is a pretty solid choice for a daily. I've got plans to toss a turbo in the mix, too.

    Fire away, though.

        Call me a fag too but I used to love zipping around corners in Miatas as a Service adviser with Mazda.
        Fuck you. We're going to Costco.

          1990. It shows a bit better in the pictures than it really is, but its presentable. I excuse a lot of minor dents, dings, and interior defects just because it is 24 years old.

          I got it back to the shop, and half a can of freon got the a/c blowing cold. We bumped the timing up to 15 degrees and it really wakes them up. I didnt have any clue how fresh the gas was, so we didnt go any farther, but we might try to get 16-18 out of it.

            How do you even fit in that thing? I'm cramped in a miata and you're bigger than I am.

                  Well, there isnt much wiggle room. When we were buiding the race car, I drove it around without the seat in it. Moving the seat all the way back, its just on the edge of comfortable. Its not THAT much smaller than my e36 was, interior wise.

                        man, it was a saga. There are a few that are out buying them up QUICK if they are under 2k on craigslist. By quick, I mean like it will have been posted for two hours and sold before I could get a response from the seller. I looked for about two weeks to find one that I could pick up and do some repairs to, and the sellers were asking stupid money on them, too. This one had a brand new battery (they have a vent tube that runs below the floorboard and are tiny) that are quite expensive and new wheels/tires, ran and drove, but has a few dents/interior issues and clear delam, and the back window is shot. I gave $2100 for it, and then the tires promptly separated. Having to buy a new set of tires kills the extra I gave for the new tires, but it is what it is.

                        I was going to post my second choice, but it's already sold. From the sellers description, it was in about the same shape, maybe marginally better, but I never drove out to look at it.

                        this one isnt as nice as the one I picked up, and you see the asking price:

                        They get a hell of a lot more fun with a turbo...

                              • My BIL has 5 of those things, he and his dad race in spec. He gave me a torsen and the hardtop when I was looking for a miata as a track car.
