fwdtamiya Tries to Ruin Another NA

Damn, glad the rollbar did it's job. And I guess that CRV really wanted to merge?

WOW! Glad you are ok, and also glad that you decided to stay in the miata game. I've seen people part out and get something else for something way less serious than this.

I remember you mentioned you "secretly" replaced the chassis. Didn't know you rolled the car, though. I did't have a roll bar when I rolled my first Miata.

I'm too old for this. Are you folks rolling these rides regularly?

I have a cage for structure. Not that I ever hope to use it.

Wow! I didn't know you had two separate accidents!

Yep

That's scary I know someone who rolled an ND and had skull/spinal fractures.

Yep, elderly asian fellow. At least his insurance paid for damages.

It was easier just to stay with a miata, honestly.

Most of these photos seem old. For as long as the car has been available to the public, people have been rolling them and roll bars have been there to protect us.

Funny you post the reply with one of my boss's relations shop tagged. Bethania's customer service is up there with Adam. Love Martha!



Peace fellow nut!

Glad the rollbar did it's job! Looking good

Thanks for the updates. Always enjoyed your passion for roadsters and your work on them.

My old aluminum Koyo also sprang a leak, so I replaced that at the same time with a new Koyo! Ballin!

I recently ended up doing the same thing. I know cross flows are all the rage but it was so much easier to just stick with what I had. For a naturally aspirated street car/ occasional track car the Koyo is still good.

Really glad you are alright and moving forward despite another car accident. A beautiful roadster that just keeps getting better all the time!

Finally cut up and installed a plastic steering column panel I had imported a long time ago. Glad to be rid of the heavy metal piece and have one texture of plastic flow from left to right.




And, I bought a 2nd toy

What?! They made plastic as well as metal??

I have to install my harddog hardbar after seeing this thread, seriously. Glad you are okay!

Neat. I've never seen the power window switches installed there but it makes sense. One of the reasons I still have crank windows is because I didn't want to clutter up my transmission tunnel or radio console with extraneous switches.

Also, the new toy looks super cool. CB350K?

[— Phatmiata —]

cool idea for window switch relocation!!

Yes the metal panel sucks, ditched mine for the plastic version as well.

You can also just trim the backside of the black plastic steering column cover and the plastic knee panel will fit in without cutting it.

Yep! I think the U.S. was the only one to get metal, due to crash testing and knees colliding with steering column or something. With shipping, mine was $27 from Japan.

Thanks, 72' CL350. Although that might be a K tank? Not sure if the CL came with knee pads originally.
