Welcome to the brotherhood, my man. You're one of the enlightened few. 
The answer is ALWAYS Miata. And when it's not, the answer is wagon.
I have an Elise and a V70R. Is that close enough to count? Also congrats on the purchase. They're a blast. |

Cool, but those wheels have got to go. I'm not a huge fan of them, but they're not high on the list. Another problem is all the badging, the handles, the bolts behind the top, and what's left of the antenna are all gold plated. I'd like to think I can polish off the plating, but I don't know. You know it's an iffy theme when it draws more criticism than the car itself..

I don't really see the point of getting excited about owning a 2100 lb. go-cart with 130hp.
I completely "get" the autocross aspect, but just to drive around town in stock configuration? No thanks....add about 150 extra HP and then we're talking fun. But now if you take that 2100lb car, and drop it into an actual go-cart frame and reduce the curb weight to 1400lb....now we are REALLY talking about fun! And I have to thank arfcom GD for giving me the inspiration.

Now just how the shit am I supposed to carry a drink in this thing? I stopped by McD's for a takeout cholesterol bomb, and even with the drink in the back "cup holder" I still had to use creative angles to operate the shifter.

If nothing else, I've got to say that I'm worse at driving a manual than I'd led myself to believe. I hope to have that ironed out in the next couple weekends. I've got what I assume to be a failing pilot bearing, so I feel somewhat absolved of guilt if I'm a bit too hard on the clutch. That center console looks awesome, but I don't know if I see myself forking out $300 for it. It'll be a while if I do. This car has a lot of needs and other wants I need to address. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not real common, no. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Did Mazda ever sell these with boost, or are all stock ones na? I believe they are all NA. Not to be confused with the way they name them NA NB NC for 1st 2nd and 3rd gen. When we put the super charger on my buddies it really made it insane to drive and it was only like 150 if that hp. You could break the rear wheels loose whenever. There is all sorts of aftermarket support for adding turbos. There were turbo'd Mazdaspeed versions available for a few years. ah cool. not all that common though right? The motors are actually over-engineered to a certain degree. They take boost well. Until you get stupid crazy with it, about all that's really required is a stronger clutch. I have a 2006 model with the 6spd Auto trans and love that little bastard. Easily to 60 in under 7 seconds, and its not terribly difficult to break the rear tires loose and have some fun. |

The 6ULs are incredibly light and very reasonably priced. There's a reason a lot of Miatas wear them. Another option is the ol' standby Enkei RPF1, but everyone has RPF1s. You might look at the RPF1 Type IIs but you'd probably have to import them (JDM sales only IIRC) and they're a smidge heavier than the straight RPF1s. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My NB has a cup holder in the console, but it makes shifting a pain in the ass. You have to contort your arm around the beverage. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Now just how the shit am I supposed to carry a drink in this thing? I stopped by McD's for a takeout cholesterol bomb, and even with the drink in the back "cup holder" I still had to use creative angles to operate the shifter. I know this car is for driving and all that, but I'm an American, dammit. You get used to it. Or, you stick to drinking things out of bottles with screw top lids, and just keep it on the passenger seat. Or you just make a 'no drinks' rule in the car and piss your wife and kids off, but they have their own vehicle to trash. |

I'm the only one who's allowed to have a beverage in my car. It was the same for the Mustang, too. And lo, my car was perpetually clean. And the angels rejoiced. The demon spawn...not so much.

Quote HistoryQuoted: You have no idea how insanely jealous I am of your Elise. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Welcome to the brotherhood, my man. You're one of the enlightened few. The answer is ALWAYS Miata. And when it's not, the answer is wagon. I have an Elise and a V70R. Is that close enough to count? Also congrats on the purchase. They're a blast. |

Very nice choice.
I've been in the market for a while, but an abnormally warm winter didn't drop the local prices as much as I thought they would. Throw some light wheels and nice tires on there and have some fun. |
