Since everyone saw it now

[backalleyracer]

yes - I got a miata.....


some of you may know, I had to end my Rx7 project due to something out of my hands, it was above me, but now I no longer have anything holding me back

so I was in need of a car

I was looking for quite a while, I had money, but didnt know what to get, searched high and low ( which was tough considering I had NO internet...)

but eventually something came up

I was desperate and didnt expect much....

But I did see something that caught my eyes....

this rather mexican looking miata for $500

sounded to good to be true TBH...

Here is what a $500 miata looks like............











I bought it for $500....

it needed

- A battery
- Fuel pump

BUT - i already changed...

- Engine oil
- Tranny oil
- Fuel Filter
- Spark plugs
- Plug wires
- Coolant


Short story on this little thing

The car was sitting on front of some guys house for 3 years non running. The guy knew NOTHING of cars, he said, " car does not start, clutch sticks as well"

So I head over there with a friend, towed it home with another friend, took the day off of work, and started working on it to figure out the problems. After 6 hours, we got this

We then seafoamed it up !

Then I started tearing it up


I did something smart, lets take a car that has 3 year old tires and go to a "road" and kill it

"road" + 4am + no phone + no one around = fun fun fun

So I got a flat after hitting a rock at 4 am ... walked 3 miles to a gas station, got a tow, and didnt get home till 10 am...this made this video...

destoryed 2 rims and tyres

OH ! and anyone who is wondering....

it has...

- Racing beat rear deck cover
- Racing beat Style bar (chrome)
- Stock everything else
- Sweet !!!(sarcasm) 2 tone paint job
- Only 2 SWEET !!!(sarcasm x2) chrome fake wheels left
- gets 29 mpg
- Has 2 - f**king epic 12' speakers + amp in the trunk (which is why is sits low in the rear)
- Some body kit that I don't even know yet (guy said it was Erebuni)

Miata's.....are WAY to much fun  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

[heybroitsray]

thats a good thing you found that car for so cheap, but i dont know if you noticed aaron but your head is like 12 inches above the roll bar and windshield... i mean, can you even put the top up? if you ever rolled, youd be fucked. miatas are for japan spec people, i dont think it was intended for anyone above 5' 8" LOL

otherwise, all the car needs is some paint, suspension, and get some knock off watanabes and eventually a 13b turbo, shit will be off the chain yo

good shit driving the car to its limits though, definitely impressive with open diff + no suspension +40 hp LOL

[backalleyracer]

haha - yea, it tried to do what I could, I can put the top up, but that wouldn't be as funny

i didnt even bring ANY tires...or tools to the event

LOL

balls goes a long way

[Melonburst]

at 5 bills that is a steal, now start sanding haha.

[drifter240sx]

paint is crap  . but u were killing it though  congrats on the cheap find

[<ACE>]

one word- "POTENTIAL"

[Exiled Lakai]

I've owned two 1st gen miatas in my day and I have three things to say.

PLEASE please paint it. one solid color or do what you want b/c right now its killing me.

get some new suspension and rock out

Flying miata turbo kit or drop a ford 5 liter into it check out monstermiata.com  I'm not to big on ford motors but i think they also have a LS1 mount kit now too. haha yesssssss!!!! yesssssss!!!!

but its a really good pick up for 500 bucks though!!!   

[Go Go!!]

welcome to the club buddy! 

[medic4.life]

Hey Bro, if you remember when i had my black miata with GV lip. You sat in my sparco seat and realised how low you were and was perfect cuz your tall bro. lol when i sat in it, i was way comfortable and able to take long trip with that seat.

[backalleyracer]

yea, i got a sparco evo seat i am going to throw in from my t2

[backalleyracer]

so the other day, i crashed the car into a curb, bent a lower control arm, but I went to the most gangsta junkyard ever

I brought all my shit and was ready to pull off a LCA off some junk car, I get there and they were like....

"wanna see the car ?"

umm, thats why I came

they showed me the car, then said, "we will take it off for you.."

fuck yea !

best $50 ever !

I need a new alignment though, getting one this weekend, should be nice

[medic4.life]

hey bro u need alignment fellow friend will charge 50 bucks and if you have preffered setting he'll set it up for you. Thats the quote he gave for my miata, just havent thought of what to do

[backalleyracer]

[1slowna6]

[backalleyracer]
