noob with a gay ass miata
 

i've been curropted by my crx friends and decided to join the forum (again sorta).


I drive a gay miata, with a gay rising rate, on a gay turbo set up thats 50 percent greddy parts.

heres some kinda old pics, the cars more gutted now (no radio, ac, soon to be manual steering and I went pro with a BEGI rising rate....lol

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

definately, definately gay.

I"m tempted to call miates girls cars, but the thing is, you never see girls drvin them, cause most girls have more taste then that.

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

nice, i like it.

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

you're gonna need to connect that compressor outlet to the intake manifold in order for it to be useful ;)

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

looks like you not only have one, but TWO!!! hahahha

what bar did you ruin that XR with???

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

nah, one miata is enough for me, the others are my fathers.


as for the xr, its factory as far as I know, its a shitty 200 anyway, slow as ballz.

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

ohhhh i looked closer, those are the stock bars, must be somehting in the background

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

looks like a rx7 but in a gay way

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

I like miatas :P........motors are pretty tough. I know a guy pushing 300 whp and it rips hard since it's light as hell. Perfect for autocross. 8)

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

i like miatas

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

except for the greddy and rising rate...it's nice.. miatas are light small and can be quick.. i don't see whats soo gay about it. wait..yea i do..but it'll just make it more funny when you race someone and beat them

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

me too...

yours looks good :D

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

serously. i've seen 2 miata's driven by girls, and one is my co-wokers.. and her husband got it for her

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

---- drop a 5.0 302 in it

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

ya, the motors in em are pretty stout, a lot of guys are pushing 15+ plus psi (on a t25 sized turbo) on them daily driven which is good for around 230-250 rwhp. The big issue tho is while the motors don't really need the big $$$ interms of internals, the stock ecus are untouchable so to run bigger injectors you need to spend the cash on a tech3 or equivelent unless you wanna run a ghetto emanage.

as for the greddy kit, I got it brand new for 1k shipped when at the time no one even made flanges for 1.6 motors so I was kinda up the creek, on top of that I was in highschool and stupid. Now with flanges and manifolds on the market I woulda done a custom set up but too little to late.

at the same time however I can get 230-240 rear wheel hp out of the greddy manifold/td04 which isn't a ton but factory weight is 2180 and I've removed the soft top which evens out the hard top, pulled the ac (40lbs), radio, spare time/jack, air bag, emissions equipment, bumper supports and impact ----, and idunno a bunch of other things so it should be right around 2k even.


best I've run so far is a 14.4 at 97 with all the ac still installed and with a craptastic vortech 12:1

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

eh, I wanted to but then I saw one with a 302 supercharged and as bad ass as it was, it just isn't that clean of an install. It also makes it primarily a straightline car at which point I'd rather do the swap into an old first gen rx-7 since they have the live axle rear end and weigh even less.

a guy that lives near me swapped an ls1 with a 6 speed in his, now thats tasty.

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

At the first IFO I went to, there was alittle gay miata. He pull a trailer. Its was red, he did alittle tuning before he pulled up to the tree. Reving it up black smoke would cover the car. He pulls the slicks off the trailer he pulled there with his miata. Puts them on and pulls to the line. Everyone is laughing at him as it seems like his car is in pain in the burnout box. Light dropps and he bust out a 11.34. Everyone was like :o

I have had respect for the little homo cars ever since.

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

you should paint it orange like corky ramono

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

yes miatas are for girls to drive but i cant argue the fact that i really really want one....mazdas will kick more ass than any honda...... i loved my pro soon as i find a nice one again itll be mine.............

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

I like these cars, but wouldnt ever dish out the 10 grand for a 91

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

they don't cost anywhere near that anymore.

you can get a clean one for around 4, my fathers selling one of his for around 4 and its never seen snow since it was new in 90.

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

^-^now thats comedy.

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

your wrong, comedy is throwing your timing belt the day after you bought your car

bent valves > you

non-interference engine=me

me>you ;D

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

I like miata's too, and I think the red one is sweet.

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

Girl car or not I like it.

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

Re: noob with a gay ass miata

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

werd on the street... miata owners developed this technique during the post production design of their rear end doomed sports cars... :-*

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

I like the car, I've always say they gay if they are stock, but I know they have a lot of potential, and I defintely dig the hard top.

However did you say something about your dad selling one of his, because that would put number_of_miatas > 3 which=chance of penis in anus at 99%

I don't think I could handle looking at a litter of them

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

miatas are extremely fun to drive.. gay but fun to drive

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

Looks good! I like Miatas. Great stuff for hella cheap.


You need the N/A RX-7 LSD, axles & driveshaft & a great clutch. The 1.6L rear end has a tendancy to kill itself. Sometimes at 200-220, sometimes not till 250. Then again there are some that have failed 100% stock LoL!

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

for how much they cost, a miata is one of the funnest cars i've driven. and the motors are ------- awesome and can hold up to some decent power

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

nice wheels

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

ya, I'm suprised my rear ends held this long especially after some 12 runs at the strip. The only reason i hink its lasted this long is because I slip the clutch off the line and realistically the clutch doesn' have that instant lock between shifts which is probably enoough to save my dinky rear end.


theres a totaled miata sitting in my backyard with the larger 1.8 rear end (same casing, shafts, etc. as the rx-7 but with a gear type lsd and not a clutch pack style) I tried to swap it last summer when my turbo ---- was getting cermic coated however after shattering some sockets, I realized it wasn't coming out without a torch and I threw in the towel since I had a week and a half before I went back to college and Boston=no car.


I'm at the point now where I want to put a stouter rear end in, a stand alone, and ground controls with agx shock and sway, poly bushings, etc but college is a priority right now so I'm gonna wait until i can do it "right".....either that or i'm gonna sell the car and buy a 1.8 (94+) and piece together a turbo kit with some beefier compnents.

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

If you're already doin 12s I'd keep going with the car, do the better rear, with a bigger gear, a better clutch, stand alone with a couple more psi, thats prob a half second right there

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

guess I'll post a list of ---- done for those curious...



greddy manifold
tdo4-15g
starion intercooler
forge diverter valve
ceramic coated manifold, downpipe, turbo exhaust housing, powder coated valve cover, intake mani ec.
2.5 stainless stright back, no cat :-X, magna flow straight through muffler
BEGI afpr
msd 2225 pump
autometer fp & boost gauge
profec b II
bipes timing control
semi gutted interior (no carpet, radio, speakers, console, consenser)
autopower roll bar
stripped ac/soft top/emission equipment/bumper suports/tons of random ---- that I didn't deem necessary :)
rota c8's w/ azenis
factory hard top
ebay'd cf motorcycle mirrors (the stock mirrors are ridiculously huge)
momo team wheel (axed the air bag)
simpson rear bumper (mounts flush and gets rid of a bunch of 5 mph crash bullshit)

mmm...some other stuff i probably forgot

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

Too bad you weren't closer, my cousin is selling his rx7 and you could've had some nice parts for cheap.. i'd go searching around the junkyards ;)

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

no no, I WISH i was in the 12's, I meant I've probably done some 12-14 runs at the track all of which were in oor around mid 14's :'(


the best I can muster as of yet is a 14.4 at 97, however (here come the excuses) it was extrememly humid and literally 96 degrees, the night I went my friends gti and sr20 sentra were running about2-3 tenths slower then when hey ran later that fall.

I'm hoping this year with better fueling and roughly a 100 lbs less weight and some 40 degree cooler air I can break into the 13's on a stock bottom end and ecu which I'll be happy with since stock is around 16.7. I think the new afpr and pump alon will help alot since at the track my car was running out of fuel up top.

Re: noob with a gay ass miata
 

I like miatas with hard tops, thought about gettin one but got the Z instead
