    00 HSM NB - New to the Miata

    Hi, everyone. I'm new to the Miata community, but have always been a car enthusiast. First car was an

    Acura Integra:



    then a civic:



    then another Integra:



    then after driving an S2000, I just had to get into one. Found this red beauty:




    Decided I'd lay low for a while and got rid of the s2000. Forward 6 months or so later and the itch to build a "race car" had me searching all over New England for a Miata. I had previously driven my brothers NA Miata and loved it. Was mainly looking for an NA but the criteria was: 1) No major mods, 2) clean(no rust), and 3) cheap. Then as soon as I saw this NB, I knew she was the one. Picked her up after some intense negotiations and here she is on her way to her new home:



    Specs:
    00 Highlight Silver Metallic
    77K miles
    OEM Torsen LSD
    PW, PS, AC
    Yonaka Coilovers
    Garage Star top hats
    16x9 Wagen CS1 wheels
    Harddog roll bar

    Hope you all enjoy my thread. Its going to be a slow and long build as funds are limited. But this thread is mainly going to be a place for me to track my build. Thanks for viewing.

    Welcome! I think quite a few of us used to or currently own Hondas. I'd love to have another in the future.

    Yeah, Honda will always have a part of my heart. The engineering and attitude of the motors are just so amazing, in my opinion.

    Welcome! Came from a Honda as well. You'll miss the space in the engine bay... but you'll love the car

    ...still want an S2000 - but it just feels "easier/nicer/carefree-er" to drive a cheaper car ;)
