Hey Dan,

Mine's a 2001 Special Edition, #250. Loaded with everything but hardtop. I'm partial to the NBs, especially the post-2000 makeover (2001-2005), and I love British Racing Green (BRG) on a Miata, so this works out well. As you probably know, the only other BRG Miata is the '91 option. I may end up owning one of those yet.

Mine's lightly modded, mostly for handling, rather than power:

Flyin' Miata springs
Flyin' Miata front and rear adjustable sway bars
Racing Beat endlinks
Bilstein Sports
FatCatMotorsport bumpstops and boots
Racing Beat intake
Racing Beat exhaust (single tip)
Pirelli PZeros
Boss Frog Double Hoop Roll Bar

I absolutely love this car, and it's been very good to me: I bought it in 2006 with 24,000 miles on it, and I've got about 99,000 on it now. No problems other than a clutch slave cylinder soon after I bought it. It's about 70-80% of my Elise, at about half the price. I think I posted a photo earlier in this thread, but just in case not, here's another.

Now, if I remember a previous post of yours, you said you own two Miatae? Please share details.

Ka-boom and Huxley,

Very nice 6 and Scoobie, respectively. Both are tastefully done.

So while I'm sitting here drinking coffee thinking about driving and yet watching the d@mn rain come down instead, I came across this - the kind of driveway I want:
Novelties: Google Earth Reveals Coolest Driveway Ever

I wish I had enough land to do this.

Yeah one is a beater 93' that i rock daily driving in. 162k miles. Runs like a top. Manual everything, steering, windows, etc... no AC.

Other one is a 90' with 90k miles and with a mountain of mods.

Short Nose Crank Fix
Home made short shifter
ACT StreetLite flyhweel (8lb)
ACT Heavy Duty Clutch (1.8L version can hold 350ftlb/tq)
LC-1 Wideband
Megasquirt PNP ECU
Home made dual feed fuel rail
549cc rx-7 fuel injectors
Oil Temp
Drilled and Tapped oil pan for oil return
GReddy Td04 Turbo
Some forum members custom pipes for front mount IC
2.5" Turbo Back Exhaust
Home Made Intake
MAF removal with IAT installed
KYB Shocks
1.8L Brake conversion
Home made MBC

prolly some other stuff that i forget... anyway it sits on jacks atm due to it has a terrible terrible tune and i dont have time to work on it. Was also thinking to do the Exhaust-In cam swap. I hear if you find another exhaust cam and sawp out the intake cam for it that you gain a nice upper range area.

 

[Huxley]

Seeing as my scoob got such a warm response here is my previous car with close to double the spec list.
Miami blue 309gti
1.9mi16 bored to 2.0l
Forged pistons/cams
Jenvey bodies
dta ecu
skip brown roadspeed bilsteins
quaife lsd

etc

You name it this thing probably had it, 220hp in a car that was 900kg it was built for corners.

And power/torque through the whole rev range not until 5500rpm like some engines.

Must be nice to live someplace where it isn't winter 50% of the year.

Don't live there. Called a Hard-top =P We have like 3-4 months of nice weather then the rest is Rain. Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain.

You mean free car washes?

Sounds fine to me. I hate living here. They use such an insane amount of road salt here.

Seems I'm not the only one to be quiet obsessed with my AE86 drift RC: COLLECTABLES>> TAKARA TOMY DRIFT PACKAGE AE86 - Speedhunters

Got the 180SX kit as well now, but haven't built it because I've been busy building my mini3

Tandem drifting FTW!

[polska9]

im driving a 2001 jetta wolfsburg edition modded tastefully with a stock sound system though

 

[nsx_23]

I'm finding that I really prefer driving without any music on for some reason....

I don't know, it makes driving my 1.3L echo bearable.....

I think that's cool. In the days before SUVs, people towed with cars all the time.
