What do I do now, /o/? No other car can match the Miata's fun and affordability. I hope none of you have had to experience this feeling. It really hurts.

Cut off head.
Problem solved
AW11 time
> too tall
Dude I'm 6'2 and I fit fine in a miata. If it's really that bad you can change to a different seat that would lower you a few inches
I'm a slight bit too tall (legs too long). Will do foamectomy and fit perfect. It's gonna be great (already is, despite).
Aftermarket driver seat or hardtop
>>13931548
bucket seats and youl be fine
Remove back seats, install longer and lower rails.
>>13931548
Miatas aren't that great.
And I own one
>>13931590
Funner than anything else for its cost to own
>>13931594
nope
fuck off
>>13931548
>doesn't test drive one before implementing 2 year plan to buy one
>>13931594
Not really. I can get a NA Rx7 and have more fun for cheaper than a miata.
I can't get a turbo rx7 for the price of a nice miata.
I've owned several RX7s and they are much more fun
>>13931594
You could get any number of supersports or sports touring motorcycles for a similar price that will scare you half to death with their fun levels.

>Not wanting something with >600bhp/ton for the price of a crapped out Fiesta
>>13931600
The RX7 requires slightly more maintenance, and its parts are more expensive/harder to find. The MX5 is the cheapest RWD sports car to DD. There's no arguing otherwise.
>>13931616
stop, just stop.
nobody asked
>>13931618
wrong
>>13931548
I'm a tall guy in a miata. Do yourself a favor and remove the 'arm rest' on the door and make a pull strap and a pocket there instead. Does wonders for space.
>>13931618
I've fixed my miata more at 100k miles than I did my rx7 at 200k miles.
They aren't expensive or maintenance heavy.
Get a Proper Merika Sized car fagit.
>>13931627
Slower than a miata

>>13931635
Srsly?
It's an under powered land barge that can't turn or accelerate.
It was made for comfy cruising and that's it
You may be able to find a good deal on an Integra or Impreza WRX
>>13931640
>not having 4 doors and a big trunk
all it needs is 4.10 gears and a tune.
P71s already have 3.55s, stabilizer bars, stiff suspension and better quicker turning than mustangs.
>>13931635
9 seconds to 60 is fucking slow.
>>13931675
how?
>>13931620
If he's wrong, give me a right answer
>>13931642
Oh they can turn and handle relatively well.
I've taken my marauder on twisty roads and made it back without a single scratch.
I wish I had a P71 to put on these sweet heads. The 4.6 can breathe in 380hp, compared to the 250hp.

OP here. Please stop shitting up my pity party.
>>13931548
Get an MR2
>>13931689
Isn't the MR2 even smaller?
>>13931684
MR2, RX7, Integra GSR, Impreza WRX, DSM AWD Turbo option,
>>13931692
Much larger
>>13931700
>MR2
I'd rather a Civic
those are way more fun to drive, and I'd feel like less of an asshole
>>13931700
>Clean Imported MR
>Puts on aftermarket exhaust

?
>>13931707
>driving a Civic
just get a ZX2, Probe or something.
>>13931579
>Remove back seats,
full retard alert!
>>13931719
RHD with US plates
>>13931548
Z3 time is now.
>>13931726
the plate says Alberta ya dingus.
>>13931726
those are canuck plates, but yea noticed the after market tachometer and the after market wheels.
why would you do this to an Imported car?
>>13931741
Why would you leave it stock just because its imported?
Try dating men for the non-auto miata experience.
>>13931744
Cause JDM YO'
>>13931707
Type r's are faster than turbo mr2's not even joking
>>13931722
>[
lame
those suck too
the civic are good cars,they're fun, can be made even better cheap, and have more personality than an mr2
>>13931560
I'm 6"5and I fit
>>13931548
How tall are you OP?
>>13931807
6'4"
How the hell do you fit? My neck was bent and still touching the roof
>>13931850
Pretty sure friend doesn't have stock seats, they dip in so that provided some extra space, I had bout 1.5-2inches from roof.
>>13931618
Ahem.
4th gen camaro with the ls1 and 500 dollars in suspension mods, camaros handle well if you can learn to drive a solid axle (its very different)
>>13931868
..no
also what kind of garbage suspension can you get for $500
People who bitch about people modifying their cars needs to be taken into a shed and shot
>>13931768
>type R
Kinda an unfair comparison. How about the 2000GT vs Type R?
>>13931890
Ya ino fuk dem haterz stance 4 lyfe boi
>tfw manlet
get an aw11
6'8 no problems
>6'8
>6'5
Jesus, I'm 6'3 and hate being this tall.
>>13931635
i love the p71s, but theyre not a fast car, at least stock mane. Sorry.
>>13931741
Because yoghurt is more cultured than Alberta.
>>13931890
But then you'll have blood and bullet holes all over your shed. You're meant to take them behind the shed.
>>13931873
Buy used, and yes, as a po of 4th gens they do handle well, just learn to push the ass end out so the front end points into the turn. They're very capable.
