enjoy spending 3.6k on replacement parts, there's a damn good reason these cars' value has completely depreciated nowadays.

I feel like it's the dudes who walk into dealerships thinking 'im going to buy a cheap Sentra and that's it.' and end up getting played by the car salesman into buying a higher end version or something.

People who buy new econoboxes don't know jack shit about cars so it's easy as fuck to coerce them into getting shit they don't need.

Maybe they want a decent daily with actual livability unlike that smelly shitty 3k Civic your mom's friend sold you

Why doesn't America embrace the V8?

My current car's a 1991 Civic so all the mods are pretty damn cheap.
Right now I am fixing all the small things before working on performance or aesthetics.
Last thing to do is new wiper blades, sprayers, tubing for wiper fluid and hatch shocks.
Since calicuck I'm pretty limited on performance mods, so only a cold air intake and header, but I'm gonna pull a D15B7 from the junkyard and rebuild it because it will directly bolt in in place of my current D15B2 since that's on the way out.
Then repaint factory color and some minor aesthetic stuff here and there. Plans are to take it to JCCS in September this year.

I hate tuners and ricers. I'm perfectly fine with stock interiors and exteriors.

Is this concept retarded? I know the font, colors and alignments are all off.

Yeah man there's no easy way to say this, but uhh that's no bueno....

Agreed. It's too busy, there's too much going on, plus that half-circle in the top left looks gaudy as shit.

I've been in love with the Veilside Fortune kit for the RX7 since I saw it in Tokyo Drift, much prefer it over the actual car. Costs over 10k and you have to chop up stock panels to install it.

Update: my friends parent's are moving and his dad, who owned a Miata before, loved hoarding parts for it. So instead of bringing the parts with him to the new house, he decided to give it all to me.

I have a 1.8 bare block, brake pads, fuel pimpintake manifold, PS pump, radiator 5 speed trans, interior pieces and boxes full of a bunch of other shit. He told me I could pretty much buy a shell and build a 1.8 miata from the ground up with all the stuff he supplied me with or I could sell it if I wanted to. I'll try to get some pics tomorrow if anyone cares.

>>17171851
that looks to be a damn good deal. at least check it out in person.

>>17171903
Damn, son you lucked out on that one


regarding the '96...
I hope the owner is just incompetent or desperate to get rid of it because this looks far to cheap for it to be in any good shape. kinda torn right now, theres a pretty good looking NB that just went up also, but I want an NA.

Is the NA just a meme, or is there genuinely something special about it that the subsequent generations lacked?

Conflicted between an NA and NB
Are parts for the NA starting to become harder to find or something? I'm just really paranoid about buying a 20+ year old car vs getting something a little newer and perhaps more reliable. I really like the NAs but in my area theyre all busted, clean ones don't come up too often.

Many. What would you like to know?

See pic related.

1st for the 7a is better than the 4a

I've been wanting to ask /tg/ something. Why is your thread so slow but /hg/ is so fast? do the cars bore you guys so much that a lot of you fall asleep before you can post and you just kinda wake up hours later between post?

>BTW if we had no central bank and no inflation, prices would still be this low and constantly falling

You would also be paid significantly less. Inflation and pay rates are intrinsically linked over the long term.

never, a company would never do something like that today, EVEN ADJUSTING FOR INFLATION

wages rise LAST with inflation

inflation fucking sucks
its the reason we're all so poor now

My dick will blow out with compressed air afterwards.

Isn't carb and choke cleaner technically an additive?

No, it's meant to clean a disassembled carburetor
