Hi Guys
I'm new to miata ownership ive had mine for about 2 weeks paid 2700 for it and just did some basic maintenance changed oils/plugs/wires.Engine seems to run well. I have gone to a few auto-x with NTAXS with my silver sentra usually number 815 if anyone has seen/remembers me. It is a bit of a fixer upper there are a few things i need to get fixed. I got an alignment and looks like i have a bent subframe so if any one has any tips or advice that would be great. Already enjoy driving it even though it has a few problems.
Welcome.

I probably should go get it looked over by someone who knows what they are doing just to give me an idea of what i need to do next to get it in better shape
Welcome to the club! I hope you enjoy it more than the Sentra!

Entire miata subframes can be had pretty cheap at salvage yards. Its a very good car for the DIY mechanic. Welcome to the zoom zoom side, you'll soon forget the Sentra! :) see you at the next NTAXS.

Picked up a sub frame for 50 I think from like a 95or maybe older. Having some trouble getting it to bolt onto the car. Going to try lifting all corners to see if it helps if it doesn't I don't know what I'm going to do lol. I put the old one back on

something is terribly wrong here.
all 6 other bolts fully bolted down
i think that is the right bolt for that hole? correct me if im wrong
but yea not even close to lining up :/
original subframe damage could it have bent the car frame?

Or the subframe you got is bent. Sucks either way.....
There are some factory measurements on this pdf -> http://www.miata.net/garage/90-99Par...sion_guide.pdf
cant make sense of that pdf dont see any measurements on it. Le sigh... exocets dont need frames just subframes right?
Correct, subframes, ppf, motor/trans/wiring, gauge cluster and hood. That's about it. Actually helping a friend build one currently!
Gauge hood sorry, not actual miata hood.
cant make sense of that pdf dont see any measurements on it. Le sigh... exocets dont need frames just subframes right?Page 222 where it says under-hood dimensions.
