    Default Newbie from North Fort Worth

    Hey guys im new to the forum. A member turned me on to this forum about a month ago at an autocross event. I do not currently own a miata but have been wanting one for the past few months and now I am finally in the market for one. looking to spend around $4000. I'm hoping to pick one up for around $3000 so i will have some extra for aftermarket goodies. I would like to get into some autocross. I have been to the track in cresson with my bike but now that i am back in school I cant afford to go to the track much. I look forward to finding a miata and being part of this forum.

    Welcome! I'm also at the 'back in school' stage. I got my '92 for $3500 late last year, so your budget is definitely do-able. Good luck.

    Thanks for the support. Ill keep updated. I was browsing in the classified section on here and saw the red 93 supercharged miata. for 4,700 and the amount done to it seems like a great deal. I may have to sell some bike parts i have laying around and go take a look at that
