Hello!

[carnut169]

Thought I'd say hello.

"Won" a Miata on Ebay a few months ago- didn't really mean to (hey, that's cheap, bid and forget about it, only to get an email a few days later saying I'd won) but now I've got one...

She is getting better. Changed oil, air filter and plugs. I've replaced the seats, carpet, steering wheel, shift knob and some other misc interior stuff. Next, I installed a Flyin Miata 2.5 suspension (Illuminas, F&R sway, springs, bumpstops and rear hats) plus all new brakes- rotors, pads, and calipers.

On the list is a set of 6UL (15x8, black), a repaint, and eventually an FM turbo kit.

The suspension made a HUGE difference-

Anyway, looking forward to meeting some of you!

Congrats on the "accidental" Miata! Let's see some pics!

After driving this for a few weeks you'll wonder why you didn't buy one sooner.

Welcome. Pics are def needed. Share details of your ebay deal as well if you can.

Probably one of the few drunken purchases you'll actually enjoy.

Welcome to the madness!

Thanks. Here is the car I purchased:

He probably had no interior shots b/c the driver's seat was trashed as was the carpet. The smell was terrible! I'll take some shots of the car now, but it looks pretty much the same just sitting a tad bit lower (well, and the interior looks 1000x better).

Does run great... and I do love driving it. Here's the other toy (the Mygale):

Under 100k and a new top. Pretty nice deal on that one. Running FC. Definitely not for the meek.

Welcome, not a bad little example of the NA you got yourself.

Welcome Sean, It's been a while! LMK if you ever wan't to race a Miata, I have lots of seats available for enduros. I doubt I could ever convert you from FC, but for me, Miata's have been a great replacement for the VanDiemen.

Hey Tyler.

Yes, I'm in. Love the competition SM offers. Always considered it and it's the class I usually recommend for folks looking to start racing.
