New to the Miata, loving it so far!

[Rowe2ry]

My name is Chris, and I am a pretty big Mazda enthusiast. I picked this baby up about 3 weeks ago after having 3 Rx-7s I wanted a change, but not a drastic one. Picked up this 95 with only 114K miles for a steal at $2,750. I need to replace the seized rear calipers(seized open, not shut. wtf?) and remove a pretty big dent in the door and I'm set. the bumper stickers, rusted wiper arms, and mis-aligned hood have all been repaired since those photos were taken (the day I got the car). I hope to meet a few local Miata owners and have a good time. My plans for this car are to keep the drivetrain stock (maybe a few bolt ons and a lighter flywheel), and just gradually work up to a fully redone suspension and chassis stiffening devices on good tires.

Anyways here she is.

Welcome to the forum! Looks great! Is the RX7 in the background yours?

[Rowe2ry]

Yeah, that was my baby. It's sold now, but I built it from nothing with the help of a small local Rx-7 group. Here is the story on the Rx-7:

And here is what happened to her:

Thanks for the welcome. I am loving the steering feel and handling of this car so much. After some new tires I'd like to take it to an Autocross and really report how I like the car haha.

[Rowe2ry]

Oh and if anyone has some Daisys they can throw my way cheap or free I'd love that. I've got 6 13X5.5 4X110 bolt pattern stock first gen Rx-7 alloy wheels if anyone wants to trade haha.

Welcome aboard, and welcome to the addiction!

Craigslist had somebody selling 7 Daisy wheels for $200 last week. Welcome aboard.

Welcome to the forum! Sorry to see about your previous 7. Hit and run drivers deserve bad things.

Welcome!!!!

[Prodigy]

You have GOT to see the wrecked fb rx7 we just got in at MazMart.
The wreck looks identical to your old rx7100% and the owner's name is Chris too.

(The only difference is the mileage, this one only has 30k)

[miatasaint]

[Dr.Drew]
