Thinking about buying an MK1 Miata as my first car. Do you think the car could be made to look less gay with 2k spent on body kits?


Really interested in removing the gay smile and the disgusting back end of it with something more classic.

>make less gay

not calling it a miata is a good start. It's known as the Roadster in Japan and MX5 in the rest of the world outside of clapistan.

Good idea.


I am looking online for some full body kit examples, and I am seeing some really sweet stuff.

>Mazda Miata Silk Invader Style Full Body Kit - 385-V-FK


This one kinda makes the Miata look like an FC, that's awesome. Now I need a solution for the rear. I hate the tail lights. How hard would it be to install some C5 Corvette or GT-R tail lights into a Miata?

ITT: Post your state and vehicle that are impossible to find in good condition or decently priced for what they are.

Iowa here. Pic related, 90's Chevy trucks are priced like fucking gold in my state, even if they are beat to hell and back and have a lot of miles.

GM trucks of any generation.

It's rather odd as they rust out sooner than the Ford lineup. It blows me away how much more people want for a 1500 vs F150 as well.

Michigan is very biased with GM products and I don't get it.

Got this one for a grand, previous owner said it wasn't running right I could see that the spark plug wires were mismatched and didn't tell him. All i had to do was switch the #3 and #1 cylinder spark plug wires.

Why do so many retards think their car is worth 30%-50% more than market value, and why is it always BMW owners? Pic related, 325ci some boomer thinks is worth as much as a base M3.

I was at an Audi/ VW dealership last week, and found an A3, with the 1.8L TSi, with 187hp, listed at 39K+

hows that cabin air filter looking?
>>
>>17639298
a few things to consider:
>certain components produce certain specific smells when they fail because its the fluid burning
>check your cabin filter
>certain sensors in the engine can fail and have dried out, disintegrated gaskets, and can produce odors
>heating systems on older cars can have strong smells like the one you mentioned because the brittle plastic covers would produce the smell when heated
>>
>>17639324
Weirdly, the smell remains outside of the car. I don't think I smell it inside, but will check cabin air filter.

>$5,000 max
>Less than 60,000 miles

I can actually afford nice things for once, I can buy a brand new STI if I wanted but would like to settle on a lighter, funner version
So what is the concensus on these little cars and what is the key difference between BRZ and the 86?
I am mainly interested in the special edition 86 but I heard the BRZ counterpart comes with better extras such as brakes

buy a used FR-S or a new BRZ

ive heard the interior is nicer

But what is actually the difference aside from the badging?
BRZ looks much more equipped from what I can tell with additional Brembo brakes

So just spent the last few minutes looking at time attack times.

Time attack car outputs vary from 600hp to 1500hp and yet the times between this 900hp power gap are extremely close. Is there a point where power is meaningless on a circuit racer like pic related?

>>17639010
You don´t need much power to be fast if you can keep your speed in the corners.

As you can see on your picture, they tend to have downforce and weight reduction autismo.
A better downforce/weight ratio allows you to corner faster.
A smaller engine weights less, so it allows your car to corner faster.

Remove the boost limiter on the reference line going into the manifold, make the cars actual power.

I believe this is the best looking car of 2017 and 2018. Any objections?

U wot m8?

Hey anons, recent college grad here looking for jobs in places like Seattle, NYC, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, Boston etc.

What's the car culture like when it comes to big cities?

NYC i imagine is almost non-existent given the cost of living and keeping a car.

If you're going to be a wagecuck commuting in a big city, either use Uber or get some disposable autotragic Elantra.

Help me. I'm way too close to snatching up a '15 Veloster Turbo with 19k miles for $14k. Practically new with a transferable warranty better than most new warranties for dirt cheap.

I'm even staying up late watching tuner videos of them supposedly making like 270+ bhp with only a tune, downpipe, intake and intercooler.

Is this Korean GTI knockoff just a meme, or a legit, much cheaper alternative to a hot hatch?

But you void your warranty if you mod it

Pretty much. Also if you're going to mod it to make more power, do it professionally. Subarus don't react well to dindu mods.
