Newbie here, Miata Owner.

Hello, I met Eric (Rewedmiata I think) today and he gave me a card to this website. So, a little about me and my car.. I'm 22 and just recently moved back to Minnesota in January after living in Florida for 8 years. I've had a few different cars since I started getting into modding: '95 s14, '04 STI, '90 Miata, and my current '96 Miata. It used to be a near mint low miles Miata when I bought it.. not so much anymore. I don't really have much plans for it since I spend most of my time fixing it. It's currently my daily driver but I would like to get a newer vehicle such as a Mazdaspeed 3 or Volvo c30 and have the Miata as a project.

Mod List:
BC Racing Coilovers
Flyin' Miata Front and Rear Sway Bars
Hard Dog Double Diagonal Roll Bar
Ebay Front Strut Bar
Dapper Lighting HID Projector Headlights
Kosei K1 15x7 Wheels
BF Goodrich G-Force Comp2 195/50R-15 Tires
ARP Extended Wheel Lugs
949 Racing Aluminum Lug Nuts
MazdaRoadster Straight Shot Clutch Line

Good Side!


Bad Side!

 

Welcome. Erik would be the guy to recruit a miata owner. Where did he run into you?

 

Nice miata and a proper mod list

 

Welcome aboard! Always drive in the slow lane and no one will know

 

Welcome there, Thanks for the quick join. It was parts for a similar project, aka a sub frame to make the swap all the easier. Also others with miatas this man has spare parts, hit him up to fund his current project.

 

Welcome glad you could join!

 

Thanks for the nice welcome. And yeah I do have a lot of parts, I just made a thread in the for sale section: http://www.mngaragegeeks.com/forum/showthread.php/1960-90-97-Miata-Parts?p=7088#post7088

 

Welcome... watch out for those curbs! I hear they like to eat Miata wheels, AMIRITE Spaz?

 

I kinda figured that everyone was done being pricks about that? I guess I was wrong. That's fine. Keep it here if you MUST be obnoxious about it, and consider this your EvoMN verbal warning. Do it there and you'll get a vacation. However long you think is unnecessarily unreasonable, that's how long it'll be.

 

Not to sure what you guys are referring to but over the years I've noticed it is all too common for Miatas to eat a curb. Mine ate a road sign before going down a very steep ditch and then hitting a tree.

 

Lets try not to clog up dz37s thread.
We have all been asked nicely not to continue to bring up that topic.
Play nice kids.

 

you're not my real dad, you can't tell me what to do.

 

Road sign, geezes! Our ate a raccoon just before we got it

 

I've had bad luck the past 2 weeks, I go to work really early in the morning when it's dark and I ran over deer guts that I couldn't see the first week and it made my whole car stink when I came to a stop light. Then just like a day after that smell finally went away I accidentally hit a dead raccoon in the road. I used to have my car around 1-2 inches lower and never hit a single thing besides grass.. but now when I have my car at a more practical height I'm hitting all sorts of things... speed bumps, signs, animal bits.
