NICE yata.... i am picking up the wife new 97 friday

[JBix]

Congrats!  Welcome to the club/board/group.  Be safe.  If you don't have it already, make sure to go out and get all the proper gear.  And, do my eyes deceive me, or do you need to CHOP THAT FENDER?(Had to be the first).

Anyway, welcome!

[70 Cam Guy]

Very cool man, you'll have a lot of fun on it

It looks like that Miata has some pretty hefty mods on it too.  

Keep the rubber side down!

Let me know how long it takes you to start using your wife's miata because it gets good  mpg   These little cars are just so addictivie. Congrats for you and your wife  

make sure to go out and get all the proper gear. And, do my eyes deceive me, or do you need to CHOP THAT FENDER?(Had to be the first).

Proper gear is all here.  The fender 's been chopped.  There's just enough room for the license plate and the frame.

[JBix]

Cool.  Good call on the fender... couldn't see (wasn't wearing my old-man glasses.

There's just enough room for the license plate and the frame.

Why do you need fender behind the license plate? See what mine looks like (check my site-license plate relocation page)....

second yata...
stealing the koni's for the wife car and selling the 91... it's a baby....210,000
small oil leak, WEAK clutch....white....well some white is still on the car

they get ok mileage.....it was my work car for 2 years...28-32 mpg

replaced it with a Del Sol....38-41 mpg....but it now has 275,000
new civic gets 35....
i might drop another engine in the del sol and put it back in service as a work car



air ducts for.....intake or brakes??

[JohNLA]

I hope you love your 02, half as much as I love mine.
I am up to 7800 miles. (I am racing GSJack for milage on his new 02 but he does not know it)

[Aerospike]

Keep the rubber side down!

Yeah, I failed to follow this advice  with my first miata  .

Why do you need fender behind the license plate?

Man, this is one fender-hating forum! The PO performed the fenderectomy.  It guess it still looks bad from the side. I'll chop it sometime soon.

air ducts for.....intake or brakes??

They're for the intake, they work very well with my  cheap DIY intake. Don't wanna go OT, but PM me if you need pictures.

I like it so far, except for the fork  that bottoms out in every crappy parking lot entrance in Blacksburg. Look at the chin spoiler on my car to get an idea.  I'm low on funds, so I'm thinking of just making some spacers instead of changing the springs. How well does that work?

[Black Snowman]

Not NEARLY as well as the new springs but certainly doesn't hurt.

i don't get it either....never bothered me....  kinda like th paint FLAKING off the miata....sitting behind the wheel and flat tracking around corners...who cares about paint

Don't wanna go OT, but PM me if you need pictures.

thread hijacking is FUN

you're not gonna have this problem with a 97. The 1.6 wasn't clear coated.

I just picked this 97 up in July and I am loving it!

Weird, eh!

[Aerospike]

oh yeah mine is a 97 too  

[BadDSM]

I love my little Miata and 97 models are nice because they are the newest of the original design which to my eye is not only more appealing but more "original".
