I wish I could fit in a miata, if I could, id be racing spec miatas like 4 years ago lol

any pictures?

 

just have this crappy phone pic



i don't find it to cramped in there. i think i'm going to throw my zetta in there and it should bring my seating position down a bit. i have a few friends with buckets in their miatas and they remove the bottom seat cushion to make more head room haha

 

Are those Kosy k1's?

 

Time for an engine swap, I say 2JZ but I may be a little biased

^ better off with a LS and ref'd swap! but i do enjoi a 1/2j

 

2JZ > LS

 

Wait, you got rid of your Z so you could by a Miata? The fucks wrong with you bro?

 

possibly just a temp car?

 

hahaha i guess indirectly. i actually sold it to build a q45 to drift in thunder hill pro/am next year. the miata is just an efficient daily driver/beater.

 

THUNDERHILL = FUN

 

2JZ, no S***?

Its an apples to oranges comparison (regardless of the argument), dont get me wrong i would prefer a 2j swapped 350 as well, however you wont ever be able to BAR Ref it like you could a LS swap...

Its always nice to know you can do a swap on a jap car and not have to worry about getting a ref ticket! Hence my LS bias'ness lol

 

Q45 build eh? thats boss as fuuck! You got any pics of the build? You going to be rockin stock motor/trans? what year q? Always been curious to look into what it takes to get a Q slide worthy! They never came in manual i thought, so what are you going to do in regards with that?

 

i haven't found the right q yet. hoping for a 94 because it's obd1 and has a quicker steering rack. i was originally hoping for a 99-01, but every one i've looked at has been way overpriced. also, g50's are a bit more disposable haha

swapping to 240sx front suspension. stiff coilovers. 300zx tt tranny with mazworks adapter. leaving the vh45 mostly stock for now. i'll post some pics up here and there when i start the build.

 

You have to get an adaptor plate to mate the TT z32 tranny with the VH45 or does it bolt up??? Q45 drift hog is going to be sickkkk! heavy car tho! lol


BTW, are you giving your front bumper from your miata to brandon? lol

 

Damn bro. That's a big *** car to be drifting. I can't wait to see you make it happen!

 

yeah, needs an adapter and the bell housing has to be machined a bit. i'm shooting for 3600lbs with cage. only luxury item i'm planning on keeping is the ac. otherwise what would be the point of drifting a luxury car?

maybe. idk what the guy's name is.

indeed. it'll take some tweaking to get it to drive right, but should be a ton of fun.

 

i found another use for my wing:

 

^hahaha that's so handy! did you actually drive somewhere like that?

 

anyone going to San Jose SoJ car show?
