well i've been gone for awhile.

i sold my bobber last week. i put it on ebay to see what it was worth. well it sold for $3800. it was not running at the time. it needed to have the floats adjusted and the carbs synced.

well a week later i came home with this road carver. so if u guys don't mind; i'll be bikeless for a very long time. i've lost the love for it right now.but i'd still like to stay here and shoot the shit. witchas'.

hay not to rip on your ride but hit the brake lights and look at them. or have someone else do it and stand behind the car. i have always thought they looked like maxy pads when someone hit the brakes. it's just in the shape of the brake lights. check it out tell me if you see what i see.

05-30-2009, 10:20 PM
actually it fuckin rips on the top end.anything over 3krpms she really moves. but it will be screaming @ 140mph b/c of the 4:10 gears..
its all stock right now except for the rims and the timing has been bumped to 14*.

the only mods i'm gonna make is the suspension. it handles like its on rails,but i want it lower and tighter. other than that its gonna stay stock. its a real clean car. and very well taken care of.

99. u are so right.lol. they do.

What is it

It's what a guy buys for his trophy wife when she suddenly decides that she doesn't want to give head anymore. Then, she gives him head a couple of times, then stops again but drives the car to her tennis lesson, with Biff, everyday... Biff is very happy:happy:

Okay so I'm the noob, will post a pic of my bike soon. But thought you might want to watch these. They're from the British show Wheeler Dealer and they bought one and did some simple mods on it.

Well he said he wanted to just do something with the suspension and they're mod was pretty simple and didn't cost a lot but improved handling quite a bit so I posted it. Oh well.

Gotta go with Smoke on this one. Just not a guy car. Back in the day, my old man restored an MG Midget (after years of muscle cars). Just wasn't cool. Back to and Olds 442 convertible....

Sorry Dude, I didn't even watch that much. I watched part of the first clip and that Lifesyles of the Rich and Famous wannabe grossed me out. I do know that the Miata can be modded to hell, and go like a skinned cat, but I still have homophobe issues with it...

Better yet, a 13B turbo out of a Series4 RX7 drops right in.
With just a mild port that's an easy 300 free revving BHP without any weight penalties.

I like this But lets go with a 13b rew from a 3rd gen.
Half bridge motor
single turbo gt 35/40 BB
and a lot more
about 575 at the rear wheels:grin::grin::jamming:

If I wanted a "road carver" it would be a sport bike. Gotta be honest, I wouldn't be caught dead in a Miata, unless it has an LS1 or something.

But hey, as long as you are happy and its a reliable ride, keep on doin whatcha doin.

That might be a bit much for the MX5 rear end but sure would be fun.
If you want excess, I know someone who has a 20B eccentric shaft collecting dust on a shelf.

The Series4 (gen 2 or FC here in the states) was always an easy source of cheap power when we were playing with our old Mazdas. 300BHP with the stock turbo and intercooler at junk yard prices. What's not to like.

I really like these, but hard to find 1 resnably priced. Wonder what it would sound like with Oomps pipes. hehehe

balloonot
05-31-2009, 12:13 PM
B. alot guys think that. hell i even thought that when they came out. but when i drove 1 about 2 years ago i was amazed at the handling and never knew it was such a tight ride and what i was missing.

yes the market hit women b/c it is so small. but a woman wouldn't be able to appreciate the driver feed back u get when rippin her around.

so to all who say its a girls car; i say drive 1 and u'll want one.

and if u still don't after u drive 1, then fuck off haters.:cool3:

There's absolutely nothing "girly" in a Miata.
They make for some of the best track toys out there plus get you around town as well.

balloonot
05-31-2009, 12:34 PM
well said Boris.

thanks Bill. i knew i was goin to get my balls busted.lol but its all good. i just wanted to relay on how good of a handling car this is stock. better than my 87 vette,86 rx7,91 rx7, and any trans am with the ws6 package i ever had too.

trust me guys find 1 and test drive it, if love a drivers type of car u will love this. but u might not be able to get over the homphobe of it all.lol

and yes it will do 140. allready been there. i'll be back some day with another bike. but right now i am lovin this little bitch.

I totally agree with you on that, I used to build them to race 1/4 mile. We got a 2800lbs car in the tens on those lil motors. I miss workin on 7's for the size that they are you cant beetem. Ive seen a couple in miatas and WOW those suckers moved.:jamming:

05-31-2009, 09:11 PM
Omega. i don't know what ur were racing but mine only weighs 2475 with me in it.lol.

Boris
05-31-2009, 10:07 PM
RX7 at race weight would be my guess.

I loved the crap out of my little 71 RX2 back in the day. With an extended J-port (my friend came up with that one and he was one of the best in the country) 13B I could pick on any V8 with a cam.

Owned a Miata back in 96 and miss her very much. Little underpowered but it made a better driver out of me. Keep the mid corner speed up and no one with more power but poor handling will get by you. If they couldn't get me on the straight than they had no hope in the twisties.

she was a sweet lookin ride and i will miss her. but i'll build another one later down the road. and it will be better.i've allready got some new ideas and i still have an extra fender too.

i was talking to the new owner yesterday and told him he should join here. so keep an eye out and give him a warm ball busting welcome.
