Miata journal. Now with new valve cover ooooo! - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

fitftw · 01-08-2010, 01:53 AM

Just picked up 1-5-2010

1996 NA8 Mazda Miata. Paid $4,000. 70,009mi with Racing Beat intake, catback dual exhaust, turn signal intake kit, sunvisor deletes.

I absolutely love this car more than all my past 5 Honda's combined. I've never been so happy to just drive for no reason. Old people smile at this car, cops don't suspect it, it's just amazing.

next update will be for stubby antenna, then hardtop!

Looking good, welcome to the miata world.

JDMTyler3326 · 01-08-2010, 07:11 AM

Wow looks reallly clean! I love it , what's your plans for it?

jnr5005 · 01-08-2010, 07:24 AM

Wow nice pick up. Very clean looking & probably a blast to drive!

The MSM spring/shock combo will raise the ride height on NA models. It already has enough wheel gap stock.

tcturbo91 · 01-08-2010, 09:38 PM

pick some racelands up

nice car though, GL with it

High is the new low!

Cardriverx · 01-09-2010, 02:53 PM

Nice find! It is OBD2 which sorta sucks, but it can be worked with.

Nice having something RWD, isent it?

**Got Insulin?** · 01-09-2010, 03:10 PM

Nice pickup, man. I like the turn signal intake idea, the polished radiator diffuser looks sweet.

1.6mee-ott · 01-31-2010, 10:00 PM

Rally Sport · 02-02-2010, 01:51 PM

Maybe i'm missing something, i'm not very in the know with miatas. How are you going to signal your turns with those ducts? haha

Very nice, clean car btw. I'd definately get one.
