New NC east of Plano/Richardson

I sold my car, and sold my bike, and finally bought a MX-5! I live in Murphy, smack dab in the middle of Plano, Richardson, Garland, Sachse, Wiley, and Parker.

My wife and I are "empty-nesters" and live to work - me at Southwest Airlines, she in sales and officing in our home. This is my/our first convertible sportscar, but I grew up in the car business - my dad was a Porsche+Audi & Mazda dealer in OKC many moons ago.

Would love to meet other like-minded Miataphiles in my area - lemme know where you are!

Welcome to the fold! If the weather's good Wednesday night we meet in a parking lot at the NE corner of Coit and Park in Plano. Watch the "Events" section of the board for updates...

I think you'd be the only NC out there! ::Banana::

Welcome! Congrats on the car. My cousin works at Southwest and she really likes it.

Welcome! Whereabouts are you in Murphy? I live in Daniel Crossing, right across the street from Kimbrough stadium. If you see a dirty green RX-8 with a loud exhaust - gimme a wave. :mrgreen:

Welcome aboard!!

Hello fellow miataphile!

Congrats on the car and welcome! Keep your eye on the events sections of the forum for Miatae gatherings of all kinds.

I'm south of Renner and east of Murphy Road in Murphy Farms. We looked up there in Daniel's Crossing when we bought our house 4-1/2 years ago. I've used the parking lot at Kimbrough to "test" suspension changes in my Jetta and on my motorcycle! I'm sure I'll do the same with the MX-5 until the police run me off.

Welcome and Congrats on the NC. I'm in Wylie.

Welcome.

just got a new NC myself on friday...so far its quite the good time...

Welcome. You should bring it out to an autox, i've yet to see one of the nc's out there and i want to see how good they are. Congrats on the car.

Welcome and congrats on joining the Miata World

What color is you NC? I am in Rolwett and in your neck of wood often. I need to know not to cut you off! :-)

Both my son and I each drive a triple balck 99 NB

Cool, like me and my dad with our LE's.

Thanks, guys. It's Marble White w/black top & black cloth, and is still awaiting some dealer-installed options (full Mazdaspeed suspension w/Koni adjustables, appearance package, Enkei RPF1/Goodyear F1 GS-D3s). So, for now, I have the dreaded "wheelwell gap syndrome" to deal with. That being said, I've never driven a better "stock" vehicle for just having fun!

Count on me going to the autocrosses - I did well years ago in both a GTI and a 944, and can't wait to get the NC out there amongst the cones. As far as the GTGs, if I don't make it this coming Wednesday, you can count on me in the near future!

BTW - I work at Dallas Love Field and drive GBT/75/635/DNT everyday. Honk if you see me!

Welcome! What other suspension parts does that entail? Hope it doesn't knock you out of SCCA Stock class. Shocks and tires are fine.

Welcome to the forum and Miatas in general. Best/most fun car I've ever owned and I'm ::hal::
Don't judge us all by the East side whippersnappers either ;)

Oh, yeah...I'll be WAY past "stock class" with new MS Springs, MS sways (F&R), and MS FSTB (front strut tower bar). I'm also getting the MS exhaust, but I'm passing on the CAI for now - maybe I'll get one when I get my header and midpipe...

The suspension mods and wheels (Enkei RPF1 17x7.5") would put me in an ST class, but the tires are too wide (235/40-17), so I'll likely have to slug it out in CSP. I may not be super competitive, but I'm gonna have a blast!

Now I'm just waiting for the dealership to tell me that my parts are in - I got my Koni Sport adjustable shocks today!

Onething, I'm also "senior" to many, as I'm turning 49 in June.

Check out our Autocross calendar, or keep an eye posted on the Autocross Events and Open Track sections of the forum. There are usually anywhere from 2 to 5 opportunities to autocross or go to a track day in DFW in any given month. :mrgreen:

Welcome!

It looks like you live in the Plano area. That means you have no excuse to skip the Wednesday night meets in Plano. Check the events section for details. Unless weather sucks we always meet in a parking lot near the northeast corners of Park and Coit. It is in front of a Cici's Pizza place.

Saw pictures of your car on m.n. It's gorgeous. The new suspension looks great!!!!

What time do u guys ussally meet up there?:D

I think I read somewhere that it's around 9:30pm on Wednesdays, yes? I've been out of town during the week (for three weeks straight), but I'm here for the next couple of GTGs - I'll try to make it to the next one.

You got it! 9:30 pm. Wednesday Nights at Park and Coit in plano.

Unless it is raining. Then we will be at Bone Daddy's since Hooters added roaches to the menu. :puker:

Looks good for tonight - see you there!:burnrubr:
