    Just bought another Mazda!

    I have wanted a Miata since I was little. I finally found a good deal on one not all rusted out. It's a 1990 Mazda Miata, it's a 5-speed has just over 140k on it. It needs a timing belt and some TLC. The car has been rather poorly repainted, and has a ripped top but is rather clean otherswise. Either way for $700 I couldn't pass up the deal. Plans for now are to fix the timing belt and drive it. Later on after I get settled from moving, I will more then likely BP swap it. Alright enough words here are a few pics! Happy New Year!

              Nice, I'd love a Miata like that. Just something to beat on that doesn't have to be perfect.

                Yeah, I want a miata, too!

                But I won't bother with a bp swap if I get a pre 94. I'd convert mine to a LSX V8. Might cost a bit, but they are FAST, even when the motor's stock.

                      Thanks for the kind words everyone! I will hopefully be able to get it in the garage, for the timing belt today. I need to get the car running before I figure out exactly what's going on with it.

                          Just finished the timing belt, it's running well. I haven't taken it for a drive as it's late and I am tired. I will finish up everything tomorrow and take it for a spin. I picked up a nice set of falken's from a friend to put on my mini cooper rims for the car. Hopefully I can keep from doing too much to it until I move.

                              Sup dude, Miata is sitting in the driveway, it runs and drives quite well. It has been cold and snowy plus I am going on a 2 week vacation Friday. I have let it sit and look pretty. When I get home I will plate it and start driving it. I am thinking about painting it before I move. Maybe Satin blue with all satin black jams/underhood. If not repaint the front and rear bumpers red and live with the dent in the door. Other then that it's staying stock. Moving is more important!
