Stig's Goin Crazy On The Miata: Modifying Like a Mad Man!!!

I've been going CRAZY! LOL!

I sold my Hachi Roku to fund my Miata's repair process after my dad decided that the control arm isn't an important part of the car . . .sooo here's the mod list so far on top of buying everything else!!!

Clutch Kit...............................156
Rotors and Pads......................189
Control Arm.............................56
Turbo Manifold and Downpipe.....150
Roll Bar...................................86
Cat-Back Exhaust....................234
Tie Rods Inner and Outer...........84
Turbo Timer............................30
Akina Speedstars Sticker...........11 ^_^
Blow Off Valve.........................47
Boost Gauge............................39
Dual Gauge Pod........................40

LOL!

Turbo Miata FTW!

I'm gonna have some serious fun with this car!!!

But it does suck that I had to part ways with the Hachi Roku, it's cool, the Miata is a much better car anyway! I can definitely go further with this platform . . .I also had to realize that I couldn't do both cars . . .growing up sucks . .

OH WELL!

ME HAPPIES!!!!

Definitely ^_^

A lot of the parts should arrive Friday and Saturday, the rest will be here next week . . .it's a slow process, that's why I miss Japan so much, I would just drive to Autobachs, HKS or Advan stores and shop as if I were in a Wal-Mart or Costco, LOL!

Made life a lot more convenient, but I suppose these parts ARE significantly less expensive.

i just can't believe you sold the corolla or what ever you want to call it. that was by far my favorite car you've owned. at least it wasn't a '72 510 or the like, if that were the case then i'd say there is definitely something wrong with you.

LMAO! If it were a nickel-dime, there WOULD be something wrong with me . . .the hachi roku . . . not such a great car . . .

The Miata is eons better in almost every aspect, save for space and fanboy attention that you get when you pull up to a gas station . . .I swear, that hatch got more questions than any car I've ever driven . .

Yeah, I meant to tell ya, but yeah, it's cool, I'll pick something else up to become the daily once she becomes unbearable on the road to work.

The beater bash is DEFINITELY still on!!! ^_^ Gotta find a way to pull more interest into it however. I won't be using the Hachi Roku, it didn't qualify anyway is it was 800 bucks to purchase. I was thinking of going FWD for the beater bash anyhow as I really want to have some rally events and experience has shown that FWD tends to be a whole heck of a lot of fun when in the dirt.

Something along these lines:

But if all else fails and I really am looking for a rear-wheel-drive beater . . .there's always one of these:

Take care,
