rodan Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I also have a Miata Nice! Post more, and bigger pics! Took the Miata for a drive this morning. I had almost forgotten what a great car it is. So much more 'analog' and connected than the 'Vette. It's gonna be fun having the best of both worlds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 My Miata is my dd. I put 20k miles last year! As she stands today: http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/deexboy/F44319FF-FFD1-4742-836D-DA9BB3D566C1_zpsbnkccdtw.jpg I also got a flat yesterday on one of my brand new tires: http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/deexboy/849E4B37-F072-4B49-B361-A4BD7E468072_zpshq0wlwc7.jpg Had a patch put on. --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated bucko3the7man Posted January 4, 2014 I Donated Share Posted January 4, 2014 Our miata got into an accident, so we bought an s2000 to replace it! Omg so much fun. The gearbox feels incredible, literally the best I've ever used. Also 9000rpm redline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris GTO TT Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Yeah I do love the S2000 but too much money for what I want to do. 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris GTO TT Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Started the soft top replacement and got the front brakes one. Stop tech pads and centric premium rotors. 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris GTO TT Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 I finished up installing the top, using spec.B rotors to stretch out the top so I can close the roof and latch it. 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 If that doesn't do it, park it in the sun tomorrow, the top will be more flexible if it's warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris GTO TT Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 That's my plan I'll back it out tomorrow morning and let the sun help it along 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris GTO TT Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Parked it in the sun this afternoon and with some help from my girlfriend we were able to get the top latched. Of course with the latches as loose as they can get there was a lot of wind noise from the top when I went for a test drive to bed in my new StopTech Pads and Centric Premium Rotors 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris GTO TT Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 I have it parked in the rain today and so far no leaks. Now I just need to focus on getting it ready for this... http://www.miatasatmazdaraceway.com/ 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I would love to go to that, but it's just too long a haul... I've been on MRLS on two wheels and I absolutely LOVE that track... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris GTO TT Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Just registered for the event at Laguna Seca! Extra motivation to get the car set up for the track! 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Just got back from a 100 mile drive in mine. 70* today... unbelievable for February. At MRLS, in a stock engined Miata, you should be able to pin the gas on the exit of turn 3, and not lift until the Corkscrew... That's the other reason I'm not ready to spend the $$ for the trip over... I want a little more horsepower for MRLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris GTO TT Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 I suspect I'll have to lift for turn 5 that previous straight is fairly long. Either way I don't care I need a little extra motivation to make sure this thing is ready for something more than a commute to work 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodan Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 After the last breakdown, I was done with our POS C6 'Vette. So it's gone, and we have another Miata! It's a 2013 Club PRHT, and while not as fast as the C6, I expect that I won't have to work on it on a regular basis... http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y185/RodanAZ/Miata/DSC_7928_zps968cb40f.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y185/RodanAZ/Miata/DSC_7911_zps460780c8.jpg With the NA: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y185/RodanAZ/Miata/DSC_7941_zps1dca2884.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y185/RodanAZ/Miata/DSC_7948_zps812eb6e7.jpg :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
