My EVO is in the shop with a bad A/C compressor (froze and cause the serpentine belt to break, stranding me 60 miles away from home ). Anyway, Ive been bugging my buddies at RSpeed in Marietta, GA for a long time about finding me a Miata... The other day he says "I got this silver one....". Well, I check it out and I bought it. It's a lot of fun. I'd forgotten how well those liittle roadsters handle. Very tossable and lots of fun. No explosive power like the EVO and no AWD, but definitely fun in a slow kind of way

and then I got some new wheels... www.tango-rio.com/mx5/MX5-2.htm

 

sweet...those little cars handle like magic from what I've seen on the Auto-x courses and at the track. You gotta put a rollbar on that puppy and get it on the track. Good find!

 

"no explosive power"

dude it's a 1.6L 118hp. how about "no power" as a more accurate statement?

just bustin' ya. enjoy the ride.

 

have u heard of the monster miata that was in sport compact car a while back? it was in the 10s.

 

yeah, that car really doesn't need a lot of HP because it's really light. You can bolt on one those little superchargers and get about 170hp out of that car and it'll really scoot then. Personally though I'd just Auto-x it in the stock class. Just add roll-bar and you have instant fun!!!!

 

Uh, if you're looking for a fast Miata, check out my site. I'm selling it because I'm getting a 2005 EVO RS.

How about a built motor, 250-300 whp (depending on gas) and will decimate just about anything on a track.

jesus!!!! That's one hell of a built up Miata.......just the engine spec sheet almost made drop a load.......awesome!!! I'd already have a Miata if I could fit in them....I love those little cars. Mazda sure does know how to make a car handle.....that's why I have one

 

Dude, 118hp is sooooo optimistic. I'm going to actually spend some bucks and get it on the dyno. My guess is that it might put down 80whp Maybe 100 to the flywheel. Anyway, this will not be modified too much until I get my EVO sorted out

 

If I wasn't getting an MR, I think I'd be talking to you.

 

Your car is very nice... If I was looking for that price range I'd definitely consider it. Mine was much less expensive and of course, it is nothing like yours.... But still, it does look pretty good

 

Another shot of the car, this show that new Toyo T1S Proxes and the 15" Rota wheels
