    Bass Ackwards

    Soooo... I did this all wrong. I posted a few times then saw the new member section & decided to throw something up bout me & my ride. Most of you will understand when I say, "I love my car, man!!" & I do. Bought her from the original owner, who bought it off the assembly line as he worked from Mazda & he "Babied" this car. I met him at a race in Atlanta, showed me the car & said he was thinking about selling it. Told him to call me when he was ready. 5 yrs passed & I saw a posting in Steering wheel that caught my eye. Yeah, same car. Looked exactly the same & only 10k more miles than when I saw it previously. I called & re-introduced myself . He was willing to cut me a racer's deal. I asked why he was selling it.... Diabetes is a bitch, he lost his right foot... I picked it up for 3k & have loved it every since. He used to call it Lil Red, I call it BAM=BAM - (Broke ass Miata = Broke ass Me)





    Looking to do some serious upgrades to BAM=BAM, (now that the ex is no longer draining my bank account...)

    I have already done the following:
    Front Racing Beat Sway bar (w/ upgraded Bushings)
    Rear Racing Beat Sway bar (w/ upgraded Bushings)
    Racing Beat suspension setup - Lowered 2", Tokico shocks & Heavier springs
    15" American Racing Wheels - Got them for nothing. Looking to change them soon
    Racing Beat Rear Differential Brace
    Front Strut tower bar

    In the last 3 months:
    4 new hub bearings
    4 new brake calipers
    New Rear Diff
    New Balanced Drive Shaft
    2 New rear Half shafts

    I'd love to upload some pics, but for some reason the "insert pic" button is only allowing pics to be linked or uploaded from a URL & not from a computer. Site glitch?

    If you hit the insert pic button, there a grey box that opens and in that box up on the top left is two tabs. The second tab will allow you to open a folder to insert a picture.

    I posted pics on a different thread, but when the box pops up only the URL tab is available. I used 3 different browsers & got the same issue. Site just doesn't want my ugly ass car on here...

    It is an aftermarket wheel I had left over from RX7 racing days. I believe it is from a company called Forever Sharp(?)... Forever...Something... Been a few minutes(years). I remember the horn button was a pain. It is going to be replaced or re-wrapped the Leather is coming apart.

    BTW.. Thanks for linking some pics of BAM=BAM!!
