I checked them out for the Honda... but it looks like it's gonna cost me $450 to do the brake lines, so... New (used) stuff isn't in the mix I don't think.

It's the red on black speed3 shift pattern.

Ah you wouldn't break anything! It is a Miata afterall.



Exactly.



The American TopGear is still on but it is terrible. Check out FinalGear.com for all the updates on the Top Gear like shows. It shows how big Clarkson is in the UK when they ask the Prime Minister about his comments!



What shift pattern is on it?

Sucks, but it's pretty much worth it. I can't remember how much mine was for the 626, but I think it was like 300$.

Do you guys remember me mentioning that P5? Is 6 grand too much to pay for an 03 with 127000 on the odometer and 78000 on a replacement engine?

 

[o0n8]

what color?

http://www.edmunds.com/mazda/protege5/2003/tmv-appraise-results.html just a quick appraisal on edmunds says about 5k, That's what I would shoot for.

Larry, I bought my P5 in 07 with 84k miles for about $9k out the door from a Mazda dealership. That was on the more expensive end of the stick from what I've heard. But it was hard to find a manual around here at the time.

And as far as Miata's go, Phen. I just don't fit comfortably in them. I like to sit up straight in the seat and I'm too tall. So I'm either hitting my head and looking at the sun visors or slouched all low in the seat. And the whole "OMG, Miata's are the best car EVAR!" gets a little old...

But I want to see AJ and Corey duke it out. And food afterwards is always a bonus. We should get another Lizard meet soon. I miss you guys. (no homo. Except for Peaches. Little bit of homo. hahaha)

 

[Perro del Sol]

Will do, Will.

I'll run the Milly with you guys. The body roll would be epic! haha

You can scrub tires in Spicy, I am sure you and Laurk can co-drive the car

 

[ajkulish]

Ugh now I gotta get stickies for the spring... Haha

 

[Lewis7789]

Haha! No way am I driving any one of your cars, guys. I think I'm a better builder/worker than driver. But I love to ride along and learn! That BeaveRun day riding with Josh and Marc was awesome!

That's a lot of money, but the dealership is a whole 'nother game. I think private party that car would be like 4-4500, and in my eyes that's all it's worth. If I were going to pay that much, I better be getting a lot more car than a stock P5, nawmean?

 

[PrinceValorum]

No, no, you've got it backwards! You drive much more quickly than you work!

 

[Lewis7789]

LOL! But not by much. I still drive slow and work even slower. If I ever opened my own shop my customers would be so pissed. "Evan, why did my HID install take 3 days?". lulz

Lmao you'd be the only shop to have to provide a rental for an HID install.

Drive the damn car and have fun. It is car, maybe Marc will bring the RX-7

Sooooo I just got my evaluation of my Navy training from the college I applied for, and they gave me 44 credit hours towards my bachelors which leaves me with 80 credit hours left until I am finished. I also have about 12-15 more credit hours available that I can have reviewed after I enroll.

Wooooo!

 

[Lewis7789]

Hey Mazda3 guys. There is a GB for endlinks for the Protege my friend is doing and he is gauging interest for the Mazda3 as well. Is anyone here interested?

Here's his GB thread for the Protege's. He's selling them for $50 shipped for the rears. But he will do front and rear for the Mazda3.

Ah I literally just got a TWM Big Type R today.

I'm definitely interested. I was planning on getting some AWR end links in the spring when I put my lowering springs on. I kind of want heim joints instead of the ball joint though. Any info out there as to why a ball joint is better or vice versa?

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Oh well I'll be buying my new shift knob tomorrow anyway so I might just keep the JBR as a backup to my backup lol
