The miata that waited, a love story

[afc2112]

Hooray for getting your header on there!

What's the status on the project that Shenanigan is working for on for you?

Car looks awesome, btw. And I can't wait to see your deuce.

That whole exhaust was beyond retarded. The seat? pft no idea and I really want my new car!

[Mia95]

Loving the pictures! And the photographer's car is nice and everything, but it kinda needed to stay the hell outta the shot haha. ;P

I want to rebuild my shifter so bad. I know it has to be destroyed right about now...

[I<3flippyheadlights]

Its not that tough and well worth the 70 bucks.

But what you SHOULD buy, is my Bikini top

Car's looking good! Favourite picture is the first one with the lights up like she's awake and ready to party. lol

you should totally grab that MR2 though! Hopefully the body is straight, but if the Miata ever felt like an impractical or uncomfortable car, it's about to look lexus status. lol If worse comes to worse and you can't fix whatever's in the MR2, A-series engines for Toyotas are dime a dozen. You can go cheap and pick up a 4a-fe from a corolla for beans, or swap in an ITB'd 4a-ge. Just don't neglect Amy. =p

Well with a new project Amy won't get as much attention. She will be driven every day and loved for how dependable she is, but that is the extent of it. I will fix things when they need it, buy a thing here or there and thats about it. Love the car, can't do much more then I have. (no more flashy stuff, just isn't worth the money). I'm just hoping the MR2 doesn't have rust. Thats the main point. The engines are cheap so I'm not to worried. The plan in the end to have it supercharged (how they come for the factory but more boost) or a 20V with IRTB's (because toyotas need IRTB's). The silvertop or black top can be had for around 1500 and with my budget 3000, its well worth it. I'm so pumped to get this thing!

So today I set up a play date with some fellow car enthusiasts. Amy was very excited and so was I to take some pictures. An even better part was to see a friend that has been MIA due to his new job. Well this friend decided to buy a 2nd gen MR2 with a 3rd gen turbocharged engine. Needless to say its pretty freaking fast. We were also joined by our friend Connor in his Turbo wagon. Needless to say Amy felt left out with no turbo. But, that didn't get to her at all. Through the corners she kept up very nicely and put a big ol' grin on my face.

Then I checked my oil and burned through a half a quart! Ya she burns some oil when I push it but its all in good fun. Then we got together and took some pictures. First off, hot as hell today here in Florida. Second, we were fighting against the on coming rainstorm. Now to what we all want, THE PICTURES!

You were on my ass during that right hand sweeper...I need rear tires, but on the flip side, you weren't familiar with the roads...

It was fun either way. Besides, I wasn't holding you up once I accelerated out of the right hand sweeper.

Thanks for taking those rolling shots.

Maybe once you get some tires we can go at it again

And thanks Uni!

Great build man.

As a Volvo guy, I had to notice. Was there any mods done to the 850?

[I<3flippyheadlights]

Why thank you. And the volvo? No he hasn't done anything yet but put prancing moose stickers around. He does plan on doing stuff to it. He just needs more money first

[Kolbotn]
