Thread: I'm bored...

  1. #1

    Default I'm bored...

    ...with my car.

    Yes, I know it happens to everyone at some point, and the answer is to buy something new to make it faster, make it handle better, make it cuter (or prettier....).

    However, I don't know where to start. I absolutely love my Miata, even more so now that it's my weekend car and not my daily driver (it feels more special to jump in it after a week).

    I've been thinking about buying a new exhaust for it... or intake... something. Right now it's all stock except for a custom intake and slightly modded stock exhaust (and test pipe), and a little suspension work. I'd like to go FI in the future, but with my other hobby, it's difficult to save money (I could if I really tried, but I don't wanna).

    Any suggestions to help me reignite my interest? I don't want her just sitting there forlornly without me playing with her...

    Somebody help me (should this go in the Bull section?).

    Sell it to me for practically nothing.

    Mod it out with a turbo or SC, then go back to using it as a DD. I find the Miata alot of fun and stress reliever after a long day of work. By driving it all the time I know what I want to do to it and what I want to improve.

    No AC... that leaves out DD status

    My Integra is a comfy DD and I use it for that, but I'm thinking of selling it and getting a truck (I'm getting into larger and larger RC planes. The Integra won't be able to suffice for a trnasport soon ).

    The Miata just feels better after waiting to drive it

    Go to the Gap! Deals Gap!
    If that doesn't excite you Miata wise, nothing will.

    Sell it and the Integra. Use the money to get a pick up and more toy planes. Then you can spend all your free time playing with them or posting on the RC forums.
    ...and across the line.
