Hey Nick, Mr. Onzedge, Kenchan and the Z community! :hello:

I think I've pretty much decided I'm going to have to pop in and check this thread throughout the day due to its high volume of traffic!

ZMan8 03-14-2012 09:40 AM

Good morning Z gents! Beautiful day today in chicago; Z is still in garage because tax season is preventing me from changing the oil until sunday.

Hope all of you have a great day at work, school, or what ever you're up to!

Fire 03-14-2012 09:58 AM

Hi guys just popping in myself. Hope everybody has a good day. :tiphat: See ya later.

No, as long as you don't act on it. It is like other unnatural or deviant thoughts. We can't always control those desires that seem to come out of the blue. The important thing is to be strong. Those urges will pass. If they don't, then I suggest getting yourself to a meeting as soon as possible. Get a sponsor, work the steps, be of service to others and your life gets better. I promise that.

Mustang 5.0 motors drop into the Miata like they were made for them, then it's a supercharger away from a 9 sec 1/4 mile!

Haha turbo miata are fun cars actually. its cheap fun. Na Miata =$3k-4k, FLying miata turbo $3k-5k depending on how much you want. when its all said and done 8k-11k can get you a 200+ hp car that weights under 2500 lb and has 50-50 weight distribution

I don't own one myself but being from Europe I guess I have a different perspective

happytheman 03-14-2012 12:10 PM

Mopeds are fun to ride around down in the Keys. Like, in Key West...it's really the only way to get around. Parking is a premium there.

I guess you guys haven't heard the joke I was referring to then?

happytheman 03-14-2012 12:19 PM

I can vaguely recall something like: what's the difference between fat chicks and mopeds?

I have to admit though, it's possible to make a Miata look pretty baller lol

it's also really cheap to modify. By being the most popular sports car of all time it has large aftermarket and competition drove prices down.

Nick911sc 03-14-2012 12:33 PM

Exactly!

ZMan8 03-14-2012 12:34 PM

My Miata was a class winning Solo II car back in the day. I'm not at all ashamed or insecure about the size of my car.

I loaded some SPC rear camber bits into the hatch today. I gazed out the window at my car, but that's about all the action I'm gonna get today until it's time to go home.

gotz my Griot's CarWash today. :D woot.

Dude, I'm not ashamed to admit that I had a Miata, and in my opinion it tied with the Z as far as fun-to-drive factor. It didn't have much power (107 hp IIRC) but I could do the cloverleaf exit off of the highway at 65-70 mph on cheap cheap rubber. It's basically a huge go kart, extremely fun to drive.
A friend of mine has a newer mazdaspeed Miata with a turbo on it, consistently hitting 10's all day long.

Heya Mr.kenchan, yes, I do have the Winter car, but I always like to drive the Z as much as I can, especially if the temp is warm, it's my DD in spring and summer....

that sounds like an excellent plan! :tup: if you have a shop vac or leaf blower, i recommend blowing the water off the car as much as you can to prevent drips and corrosion. :D
