Default New pics of the Z and cousin's Miata

We took some new pictures of the Z and my cousin's Miata. I figured I hadn't posted any in a long time so here ya go.



















One from last summer. Still had that gay rear wiper on there.



Here is one with the snow tires on from back in January.

It's a badass miata.

Just a touch over 2000lbs with a tank of gas and boost in the works. It should be a fast little go-cart.

Don't be dissing the miata. They are a sweet track car. I watched a guy who normally drives a Porsche GT3 rent a Spec Miata for the day and say it was one of the more fun times on a track!

It's to long to list it all. Basically every single thing you can do suspension wise, roll bar, bracing, clutch, wheels, solid motor mounts, LSD, radiator, a Kirky and a Sparco seat, harnesses, Momo wheel, guages, hard top (no soft top anymore), flush mount headlights now, and a bunch of other stuff. It is completely gutted down to the smallest details (wipers, heater core, 1/2 the dash, carpet, all the unneeded stuff in the engine bay, airbag sensors, and all the little stuff). It weighed in at 2036lbs about a month ago. I'm not sure what it is now. He's peicing together a T28 turbo setup and shooting for about 200whp. That should be some fun in something that light and nimble.

Yep any spec miata is pretty bad *** on the track...and a street miata w/a flyin miata turbo kit is pretty damn fast.

My other cousin had a miata with a Jackson racing supercharger and some bolt ons that would hang with my Z up untill about 65. They just have some short gearing.

Nah, I just really like the clean look and it makes it even easier to wash the car.

S/C are great on miatas too...craziest one I have driven is a miata w/ a rotary engine, those engines are great in a miata's too.

Nice Pics too BTW!

What about one with a 302? That is such an unnatural sound coming from that car.

There is a guy on the miata forums doing a rearmount turbo on his 302 miata. That thing would never hook up.

The Z is looking clean. Good taste.

The Miata looks aggressive!
