calling all miatas -->

[Vampyre]

hmm i may be wrong. but every talk of 2001 se on the miata forum say only green, but i may be wrong

 

[k-lea]

bahaha, i'm going to call up there and get them to run it again. this is horse poo if it's not.

 

[Vampyre]

you might want to call mazda na and run it yourself. they will tell you all the options and stuff. i didnt mean to upset you or anything

 

[k-lea]

it's actually possible my car was painted. just last night at the meet i spoke about my two toned car. either wrecked, or painted. also, in one of my scratches, i do noticed a strange greenish color. i thought nothing of it, thinking it just had one hell of a bad paint job.

i'm calling the dealership right now to get them to run the VIN.

why would i be upset at you? if anyone i am upset at the dealership for giving me a "phoney" car. this is a set back, yes, because if it is infact a LS i will feel completely retarded thinking this whole time it was a SE.

 

[k-lea]

hahahaha. that was awesome.

so, i don't know if i should feel like a dumbass, or if they should.
"we were misinformed, sorry for the inconvenince."

i asked how they could have ran it days ago and know what the actual model was and yet still put "SE" on the papers. then i say "how can you confuse wood interior with the interior i have?" she didn't say anything. woot. back to LS i go.

I may have to get me a stubby now... damnit. Mine's an LS, and I wouldn't change a thing about it... well my PO did already install the chrome gas lid, vent rings, and gauge rings.

Funny thing is, I hated tan interiors until I drove my miata with it's leather hawtness.

 

[Vampyre]

i was actually looking for a black and tan , wouldnt htat have been odd, both blue masp's with black rims to black and tan miatas.

there is the website for the antenna i got. it is called the shark attack II was 37 shipped i think, and took 15 minutes to install

 

[Vampyre]

hey Kristin if they sold you an SE and itr wasnt. they should owe you some money back, cuz SE's are worth more.

You cant just 'patch' a Miata top and if you do, you will see leaks. A factory soft top in excellent condition is just as reliable as a hard top when it comes to rain - dont waste your $$$ on hard top unless you live in north with snow or want to track the car. And you will most likely never see any rust on a Miata - the metal quality from Japan from 1989-2005 is excellent.

New soft top replacements will run anywhere from $600-$1000 installed (Robbins tops, etc) by someone who knows what they are doing.

Make sure you run the VIN to see if any of the recalls were done:

Especially the #4 throw out bearing (if this is a 1999 Miata you are looking at): http://www.miata.net/garage/tsb/tip_6_99.html

Here is a run down of all years when you are looking to buy:

Good luck.

I sold my Laguna Blue 94 R and still have my 1996 Red R package.

car has:
-custom valved Single Adjustable Konis
-Jackson Racing Midpipe (custom rear section)
-K/N drop in filter
-NGK-R plugs (SSB 2 heat range colder model)
-Nology Wires
-Racing Beat hollow front bar
-225/50-14 Kumho Ecsta V710s (racing tires) on 10.4lb hollow spoke wheels
-16x7 Rota slipstreams in Full Royal Steel finish with FK-451 Falken 215/40-16s

and thats about it. Its a stock class autocrosser so thats why the minor mods are so specific.

Below is my old Laguna Blue 94 R (sold) and my current 96 R.
