Thread: I have a dream...

    Default I have a dream...

    What would you do to your Miata if money were not the issue.

    Rulz:

    • No trade-ins, must involve your current Miata
    • Must be technically feasable and reasonable. No Flux capacitors, etc...
    • Be serious! No 22" Spinnaz
    • Must be upgrades or modifications to the Miata only! No drivers ed, dream garages, etc...
    I'll post mine later. Got to go get ready for work.
    ...and across the line.

    1996 Mazda Miata - R-Package (Eve-L)
    2012 Mazda CX-9 - Grand Touring (Dory)

    Pretty much this. Except minus the hard top and plus the HDSDD that I've already installed. And with grey paint, like mine.

    1. FM Rear Shock Towers
    2. FM Butterfly brace
    3. Big brake kit
    4. Leather seats
    5. Momo wheel
    6. new carpet
    7. paint refresh (bumpers, rear finish panel, and mirrors re-painted, PDR and professional chip repair on the body)
    8. 16" BBS RG-Fs
    9. FM built bottom end, ported and polished head
    10. custom engineered 1.6 MP62 kit
    11. custom stereo with headunit that runs windows
    I expect I will do most everything listed some day. I have a list that I created when I bought the car 5 years ago that listed everything I wanted to do, prioritized. I broke it out into $1500-2000 a year, and I have stuck to it, only making a few small changes to the list as I go.

    I'm not exaclty sure what I'd do, but it would probably involve a Sawzall and a tow vehicle....

    Yeah, that's right.

    Nah, if funds were unlimited, I had to keep the Miata, and I had a tow vehicle I'd probably hack off the windshield, gut the interior, and build a car for DP or XP.

    1. Buy a Miata, for this example, a leftover 05 mazdaspeed
    2. Strip it down to around 2000lbs
    3. bump it up to around 250hp at the rear wheels
    4. Have fun.

    Strip it down and rebuild the car 100%.. just like on Overhauled or whatever that show is. But it'd still look the same, just everything new or totaly restored!

    If money's not an issue, I'm bribing Kumho to build some 710s in 285/30-15. It's technically feasible, by gum. Other than that... what he said.
