Is that in Orlando? looks familiar to me

bore it out, add brake ducting.

Just did it for my NC.

Works wonders at the track.

any boosted owners here

looking at a kit for sale with Garrett 25

Thanks, man.

Nah, Southeastern MA. I'm actually going to be in the Orlando area in a couple weeks for vacation. Anything fun/interesting to do down there besides Disney or Universal?

Anyone know of some good wheels that'll fit straight out of the box? 15 inch x 7 or 8 that is. Mine came with shitty tire rack wheels and I never got around to replacing them. Konig Dial Ins seem nice.

Today, I test drove a brand new ND. I was the first person to test drive it and immediately fell in love. I'm looking at a sport and the guy I talked to knows my parents so I can get an okay deal. Does anyone here own one? What's it like to daily?

>What's it like to daily?
You learn to only take what you actually need with you places.
It's all really about how high your tolerance level is for things (like being in a small space for a long while)

there is a black guy on here that owns one I think

it's personal preference, there are a lot of wheels that fit miatas and a wide price range.

I enjoyed the amount of space it had and dont ever carry much for work. Other than that no complaints? I mostly do backroad driving to get to work and school
Does he enjoy it?

I'm not sure, he only came around once to brag about his car

>it's a miata owner ruins the thread episode
>it's a miata owner can't stop shitting on ff in motorsports episode
>it's a miata owner does something horribly illegal and expects high fives episode
pls reign in your retards

half the time they are just posing as miata owners to make people more buttmad

there are some retarded miata owners though I'll give you that

Nothing against you guys or the car but fuck me the majority of miata owners can all drift right off a fucking cliff

Beautiful.

Love that red.

Mine looks decent right now cause they guy I bought it off had the whole thing plastidipped cause the paint is wearing/scratched to hell. Still deciding on a color, it's brilliant black originally but I'm thinking a nice red would be good.

Would I be making a huge mistake getting the ND/RF?
They seem like pretty sweet cars by themselves, but I heard the tranny is shit and the engine has zero potential because skyactiv.
Dont want to go slow forever

Fuck dude I love those wheels, are those rotas?

Also what head lights are those?

Why do so many miata owners swap out their stock seat for a bucket seat of some sort?

Is the stock seat shit in some way or are they just ricing?

Na, you need to have a jack with a pass through otherwise you can't listen to the radio or cassettes. I ended up doing it on a small panel on the left side of the centre console, it's a removable panel so if I want it stock I can get a new one from a wrecker

>Is the stock seat shit in some way or are they just ricing?

they are absolute economy car no bolstering shit tier

Ah k cheers. I've yet to actually be in one since they're not too common here in Aus

heh naw that blue car on the RPF1s is just a pic i saved. my wheels are worth about 1/3 of those RPF1s lol :(

thats weird, my head unit just has RCA connectors in the back so i just used a long ass 3.5 mm to RCA cable and routed it to come out from behind the passenger side of the dash

Mines the stock Panasonic unit from 1992, you have to make your own aux in using a 13 pin din cable.

That's how you do a longtube, equal length 4 into 1 manifold if there isn't any room under the car - which there probably isn't. It effectively promotes top end power.

>implying standing outside a primary school at home time with your cock hanging out is bad

What's the limit of mileage that you'd consider for a Miata you plan to daily?

Bought my 95 with 250k km's on it. It was well looked after by its previous owners, even getting re upholstered and resprayed. No issues thus far besides the engine eats a bit of oil.

Only real "fixes" I've done were replace the bushing and boots on the shifter, and replace the valve gasket and CAS o ring.

Doesn't 949/SuperMiata have a really sick NA and ND in orange too?

Well, I really fucked up that formatting. Damn Veeky Forums spam filter won't let me vertical post

yep, 949 uses a lot of orange.

whatever you do, pick a color that isn't an original NA miata one.

miami.craigslist.org/mdc/cto/5595975026.html
I FOUND ONE I FOUND ONE
ITS A MIATA
ITS RWD
guys RWD is the perfect drive train , did you know nothing can beat a good driver in RWD? HP and torque are just ways to make up for bad driving.

FWD is so shitty, I laughed in my friends face when he got one of those Hondas

m9 enough of this drivetrain bullshit, go shit up another thread

Come on my brother, its a superior drive train after all

ff shitter pls

nigger i drive a miata, what do you think im doing in a fucking miata thread

kill yourself

Stupid question but on the NA miata does the top come up automatically or do you have to do it yourself?

user please of course you have to do it yourself

So if it starts raining while you're driving and the top is down what the fuck do you do?

Just drive around in a motorized bathtub until you can park and put the top up?

why the fuck would you put the top down in this car? there's a reason everyone wants the hard top dip shit
im actually thinking of getting the fast back and welding it in with a welded cage

Why would you ever drive with the top down if it looked like it was going to rain?

>so if it starts raining while you're driving and the top is down what the fuck do you do?
put the top up ya dummy

driving top down is actually really enjoyable

Why would you not drive with the top down in a roadster, you fucking moron?

That's the whole point.

you can put the top up at a stoplight, takes 30 seconds

The whole point, IE the reason i bought it was for RWD. I couldn't give less of a shit about the car besides that

>buying a car solely based on it's driven wheels

>why the fuck would you put the top down if I wouldn't put the top down because I only bought the car for the RWD

You fucking retard.

>buy a car just for rwd

you're joking right

>Pull over
>Pull the top up
or
>Get to stoplight
>Pull the top up

Would you have to tet out of the car to do it or can you pull it up from the driver's seat?

If you're a weak willed non/fit/ person then you have to get out. If you have a rollbar, you have to get out.

just got my stock miata on a dyno for free, got to 123hp. Vid of the trip, dyno is at about 8:50, but there's a decent montage in the middle worth watching. youtube.com/watch?v=ngAznb01gc8

Pretty happy with the results, better than expected.

I'm considering trading a 250cc motorcycle for this Miat. What should I look for, and what problems are instant "walk away" problems?

madison.craigslist.org/cto/5599125315.html

not a problem in the superior NC PRHT with smarttop chip

as someone of average fitness, I couldn't do it when I had my NB but it was no problem in the ND i test drove

i can do it in my NA easily, and im only 6'1 160 lbs

Mariner Blue a Best

This

I can get the top up in my NC pretty easy and I'm a skeleton

Also a matter of how new the top is. My NA has a brand new top that is still tight/firm. I have to use both hands to lift it up while seated in the car.

15x8 or 15x9 for an NB? I'm looking for grip and maneuverability

...

I'm a noob but I'd say 15x7 for maneuverability, 15x9 for grip and 15x8 for compromise

>Tfw I know nothing about detailing cars
Show me your ways senpai (or anyone for that matter). I'm probably going to repaint my car purple within the next couple years tho so it doesn't really matter I guess.
I have 15x8 +36 949 Racing 6ULs with 195/50R15 Bridgestone Potenza RE-11s, and I think I still have like an inch or half an inch of clearance from the fenders at stock height. For 8s, I think as long as the offset is 20 or more, it should clear. Though if you lower the car, you'd probably need a +25 offset or higher unless you decide to roll/pull the fenders. I think Advanti Storm S1s look nicer than the Konig Dial-Ins; they're also a pound lighter. I personally wouldn't go with that style of wheel on an NA - if I ever get an NB I'll definitely put Advantis on them. But yeah, if you haven't already, check Good-Win-Racing's website and their wheel selection. I don't believe any of them will require any rolling/pulling, and I think they're all lightweight.
>Tfw will probably never get to test drive an ND until it's like 20 years old
Lucky bastard.
y-you too
Too many red Miatas as it is, IMO, but it's your car so yeah, just sayin'.
Those are definitely Rota Shakotans and not Hayashi Streets. Seconding inquiry on lights too...
>B-because racecar!
I think half of the people who get racing seats are just ricing and go with shitty fiberglass replicas that has potential to kill them if they git rekt.
Muh dick.
Only takes a few seconds to drop/raise the top.
>So if it starts raining while you're driving and the top is down what the fuck do you do?
A: Pull over, get out of car, pull soft top up, latch top
B: Stop (or while driving below 20 MPH), pull top up and over from behind you and latch it - do you even lift?!
>Just drive around in a motorized bathtub until you can park and put the top up?
Sounds comfy, familia. Should make it a jacuzzi while we're at it.

Don't, wait and find a good one.
1. It has rust in the worst spot, corroding the rocker panel. No-no.
2. rear window is cracked, replacing soft top is costly and a pain. Replacing only the window is cheaper but you have to do it custom.
3. "very loud". What did he do to it? What is the quality of this work? I would not buy that thing, you can get a better car for less if you check craigslist/searchtempest every day for like a month.

So I have 15x7 all-seasons. When it rains I like to get the tail out, do you think 15x8s would make that harder, or barely noticeable? I don't have an LSD which makes it hard enough already.

>Tfw I own a hardtop
>Never use it
hueahueahueahuea
>Doesn't like roadsters
>Buys a roadster
>Buys it because it's rwd
>Could've bought any of the hundreds of rwd cars out there that aren't roadsters
You're a special kind of stupid brah.
I have a roll bar and I still pull the top up from the driver's seat. Of course it takes a second hand to get it the rest of the way.
I concur with this post. Mariner Blue is master race NA color - also Merlot Mica and Montego Blue.
It's the tires you're using that matters more.

Lemme explain my question better. 15x8 or 15x9 with +25 offset and sticky tires.
What is going to be the best choice for daily driver/street car and occasional autox/track use.

15x9 will be better, but your tire options will be severely limited with 225 series tires.

My 15x8 Advanti Storms should be here today wrapped in 205 Star Specs. I'm stoked

I have a hard top and no soft top. I take the hard top off all the fucking time if I know it isn't going to rain.

Don't be a faggot

Would you recommend the same tires? I'm already set on the same wheels.

Forgot my pic

>track
you know that faggots drive a stanced NA like 90% of the posters on /mg/

>there is a black guy on here that owns one I think

nope, just me and a few other anons posting his pictures to rile up the spergs

what the fuck, user

PRHT a shit
A SHIT!
it will break halfway up/down
and the module costs 300$

>recommending 9 inch wide wheels to NA owners
kill yourself, seriously user
at stock power anything over stock size is really heavy/noticeable and makes the steering feeling lazy

nigga just buy a headunit.

>PRHT a shit
no
>A SHIT!
no u
>it will break halfway up/down
mine hasn't
>and the module costs 300$
i don't care, i bought one anyway

Here's my Na, added important performance modifications last weekend such as tire balance, and oil. It was good.
Seriously though, all my suspension bushings are pretty much fucked according to the alignment shop. idk if I should trust them since it's sort of a latin american equivalent of jiffy lube, and the guy immediately tried to get me to buy the bushings from them there and now. there was some play though, but I don't want to blow $200+ on fucking bushings. wat do, and how can I tell if I should replace my bushings? 82k miles btw.

>mine hasn't
but it will
and it will never look as good as a RHT

>how to make a NC miata look even worse
lmao bumps

lookin at a 2001 green 5-spd 79k miles ~8k$. central California. is it a good deal. how long should that car be able to last me as a daily driver.

>79k miles ~8k$

>dat gap
>silly latches
nah.

>but it will
if it does, i will concede that user was right and i'm a faggot. but until then, PRHT a best

is that a lot? it's from a dealer.

Wait why would this rile spergs up I don't get it

Also anything larger than stock definitely doesn't make the steering feel lazy, pic related is my setup. 15x7 +38 with 205 50 ZR15 BFG rivals. It grips hard and is super responsive compared to stock.

You should probably inspect your bushings. Look for deterioration, cracks, excessive hardness or softness, and play. If you can't feel anything abnormal when you're driving it's probably ok.

Also nice pic, looks spoopy

>PRHT
nigga thats a RHT

fucking braindead children on this board

the P in PRHT is for power you insufferable fuck

the PRHT has gaps too
>latches
how else would it stay on?

morons

Thanks senpai, I'll get the car up on stands and check it out. It feels fine on the road, and I took it on the track last sunday and it felt great. I do know the alignment's off though, so I do get a bit of shake above 65-70.

this looks like total shit to be honest
i get that your defending it because you own one

but the gaps look awful, and it will break
