What have you done to your Miata today?

[ScratchNSniff]

Seems like a good price, but my mechanic is switching mine over for $150...

Also, where is a good place to buy a soft top...I want to find a black on with glass in it...

 

[mx-p5]

he's replacing all your crap? I'm getting all new everything A/C wise for $140 and gotta install it myself

I got black with glass, but i HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY suggest finding one with a zip out rear glass. I HATE not being able to drop the back window right now


THe freakin sun is BLASTING, but i used to be able to hide under the top but drop the windows and still have the breeze

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Yea, replacing and recharging everything for $150...same guy that swapped my motor for $200 in the P5 the 2nd time...

We want a zip out back for sure, but just not sure where to look...

 

[THE Phen]

Hmm, I can't drop my window and it doesn't bother me one bit...

 

[ScratchNSniff]

We drive with an 80lb dog on the back though, so it gives him a bit more room with it down...

 

[THE Phen]

Sure. I just drop the entire top all the time. It's too effing loud inside the car with it up.

This.

Windows up or top down.

 

[mx-p5]

yeah, but when it's 90-100 with 90percent humidity and not a cloud in the sky, but still breezy, i like to stay under the top but enjoy the breeze

Mainly when sitting in traffic. If i'm cruising, yeah, tops down, but if i'm just sitting under the sun, i prefer to be in the shade

 

[ScratchNSniff]

I must say, this car has made me question why we didn't get one sooner...it is so much fun to drive...although it is primarily the girls, I try every chance I can to drive it...


New top, rims painted, sidemarkers painted, exhaust tip welded on, carolinamazdas decals, broadway mirror...not sure what I am gonna do next...

Girlfriend wanted this cause she said it described her and made just enough room for Aiden to lay his head on...

My co-pilots...

Bazooka, there is a meet in Asheville tomorrow got a lot of mountain driving planned, about 4 hours, if you are interested...not sure where that place you are at is...

What time is the meet? i am hitting a muscle car show tomorrow morning not sure if my dad would be up for a mazda meet after that i am only about an hour and a half away

We want a zip out back for sure, but just not sure where to look...

Flea bay...i see them all the time and the seem cheap

Hmm, I can't drop my window and it doesn't bother me one bit...

I dunno occasionally i think it would be nice for the reason mentioned the sun beating on you sometimes is rough but you still want the air

I must say, this car has made me question why we didn't get one sooner...it is so much fun to drive...although it is primarily the girls, I try every chance I can to drive it...

I think after driving mine for almost 5 hours today and DDing it for since i bought it i have been asking myself the same question...why didnt i just get a miata sooner and skip the couple issue cars after the MSP.



As for what i did today, my dad and i spent some quality time together detailing the entire car, put ALOT of elbow grease into it got rid of alot of the interior stains that were bugging me and we stripped all the gunk off the clear coat and then waxed it. Pics to come later

 

[roy obanion]

Scratch, I suggest suspension...

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Yea, unfortunately that is the one thing she will not let me touch...if there is something that may provide a tiny drop then that may be fine, but she doesn't want it anywhere like my car is...she hates driving the way mine sits...

 

[Salmon_Rob]

flying miata springs done

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Are those a very subtle drop, nothing drastic...almost like the MSP springs on a P5...

 

[Salmon_Rob]

yessir

 

[THE Phen]

In Ohio, dropping the top is the solution to all. We'll get the 95+ days with 80% humidity, but we Ohioans are built to withstand crazy temperature changes, so it doesn't phase us.

 

[Salmon_Rob]

some things shipped today. they do this stuff. stops my vertigo related nose bleeds ;D

 

[roy obanion]

I would still do shocks as welll...I doubt the ones on there are in great shape

 

[aMaff]

Picked up my torsen diff, that will be swapped into the 4.3:1 R&P that I've got waiting for an LSD
