The miata is already a gorgeous car whats the point in messing with it? To try and look richer then you really are?

Anyone know of any autox courses or race tracks around austin? I run down LCR often, but while that has helped me when it comes to a grip technique, I do not have much experience with oversteer or losing grip on the rear tires. I want to find a safe environment in order to improve in that...

Didnt buy it, traded my 06 miata with 14000 on it for the 04 with around 4000 miles. 17500 was just what they were asking if someone were to not do any trade ins. I didnt pay anything extra, was an even trade. I talk about it in the first post.

Well Ive heard several people who have said they got a new speed for around 20k. I actually saw an auto trader add for one that was asking around 21k new. It might be hard to find a new one now though, as all the dealerships lowered the prices to such low levels in order to get them off the...

The red paint already comes on the valve cover new. I love the look of the engine on this car, the new Miata(itll never be mx-5 to me) comes with a crappy plastic valve cover. I love how the valve cover says '16 valve DOHC Turbo' in nice shiny letters on the red valve cover. It makes you wanna...

Heres the scort. Lady ran her a red light and the scort hit the back of her car at 40mph. RIP

oh, ok. I should be getting some upgrades pretty soon cause my old 97 escort with 187000 miles was totalled in an accident.poor car, wasnt the prettiest thing but she did the job. been in the family for 10 years.So once the other persons insurance coughs it up, im gonna be zoom-zoomin.

Damn cops, dont have anything better to do. Cant be as bad as me though, somehow I managed to rack up three tickets in the month after I got the 06. That has to be some kinda record. Now I just keep the speed on LCR since its only 10 minutes or so from my apartment I just go there to get my...

Well if you can be flexible on the price and you want RWD, only other thing I can think of is the Infinity G35 sedan. Price around the same as the magnum. Has the same 3.5l V6 engine as the Z, but with slightly less power at 298HP so its going to be a bit slower being as how its a sedan. Looks...

Almost forgot the new Subaru Impreza. It looks different, but I dont know youll either love it or hate it. The regular WRX is pretty fast, but the STI just flys. Problem is the cost.

Hmm, so you want lots of power with lots of room but something that looks bold with a price bellow 28k. RX8 has the back seats but is to slow, you dont like the Speed6, GTO looks to plain, only other thing I can think of is the Charger R/T but that is slightly out of your price range at 29-33k...

NOOO, dont buy a Mustang. They have live rear axles, and probably cant corner worth a s****. If I was you and was looking for a speedy family vehicle, I would look at the Mazdaspeed 6. Plenty of room all around. It has a turbo charged 2.3 liter I4 good for 274 horsepower, or somewhere...

Hmm, didnt know it was so widely known, even by out of towners. I well, I dont care as long as the road is free of dumb ricers in front wheel drives trying to imitate Tokyo Drift or Initial D. Im afraid that the more accidents that occur down there, the more likely there are to be cops. If she...

To bad you dont live down here, we have alot of twisties. Nothing like running LCR early in the morning while theres no one out there. Have you seen alot of modified MSMs? If so, is 200whp from intake, exaust, and downpipe possible?

Wish i could go, but i work night shifts wendsday through saturday and have to sleep during the day.

k-lea, dunno could have been. was it last monday the 12th around 9-10pm or saturday the 17th around 9, 12pm? On 35 or, 79? I pass through there alot so i could be forgetting one time or another. If you see a young dude with elvis glasses and black fuzzy dice around the mirror in a red speed...

Hey guys, havnt been on the forum for awhile. Recently I traded my 06 MX5 for a 2004 MS, just wanted to show her of. Now dont get any druel on the finish! The Red is the MS, while the black is the old one. Traded the 06 with 14000 miles for the 04 with around 4000. Why the hell would anybody...

The NC in the video has some funky handling characteristics because it looks like its a sport model with the suspension package. Ive seen a dyno that the bilstein shocks on that model are actually softer then stock. They also travel moreso there is alot of body roll. Heres the link for the dyno...

Not ALL cops are assholes. Ive been pulled over 5 times in just over a year that ive been driving (one in my Integra, and four in my Miata) out of those ive received 2 warnings and 3 tickets. The warnings were for going 10 and 15 over, and the tickets for 15,20, and 20. The way I look at it, I...

Well I have a 06 MX5 and have a 97 Escourt as a backup car that I bought for 1000. It can be difficult having only a miata to drive everyday cause sometimes you need to haul around people or cargo. Thats why I have a beater sedan, just incase I ever need more room or there are problems with the...
