fwdtamiya Tries to Ruin Another NA

[— fwdtamiya —]

If I had to name it I think it's going to be hatchi-go. Maybe I can rename it Hatchin one day, but as it stands I've pretty much decided on Hachi-go, since the car probably only makes 85hp and doesn't have the larger engine or chassis bracing of the 1.8 I owned before.

So, I've been looking for a BRG for a while now, a few of you probably know. I've actually been looking for one much longer than I had a WTB thread up. I saw one pop up for sale on the San Diego area CL, I was pretty excited because all of the decent looking ones with hardtops I found were pretty far, not worth checking out, or got snatched in mere moments. The same things happened to my San Diego car. 2 hours after the post went up I spotted it and emailed, then texted the seller. He told me I was second it line to check it out, I had high hopes. The car sold to the first buyer. I was grief stricken again, having another BRG slip through my fingers and considered asking the seller if he would give up contact info on the buyer, so that I might offer more cash to them. I decided it too rude and began looking again, only, looking at other color cars now. I decided to make a WTB thread on another forum for better coverage. I saw a thread titled "WTB $2K Miata in SOCAL" while I was browsing, with a few replies, in the same forum and decided to see what was being offered. I came across a familiar description, it read "I might have a 91 brg with susspension, sway bars, rollbar and a good soft top for 2200. It does had some front fender damage." I knew the fender damage well, without even seeing the car. I had just seen it sold to the first buyer on craigslist, the only thing missing from this ad seemed to be a hardtop, I knew exactly what this was. After talking with the new owner we worked out a deal for the car with hardtop for $3000, a bit more than he paid for it obviously, life is a money making business. I test drove it and have made some mental and physical notes, I'll try to update this tomorrow with pictures. For now:
