Calling all Toyota owners in the Lynchburg and Charlottesville and surrounding areas!

Test driving a 96 Miata today. Should be fun.

 

How soon do you think you'd wanna buy one? I have a friend that's got one in pretty good shape that will probably let it go cheap if you're interested

 

Got a package in the mail today and it's the first of several packages. Finally got my rear 5100's all the way from Cali from marintacoma.

 

Well, unless I find an incredible steal of a Miata, around July is the earliest I'm looking because that's when I find out my financial aid for next semester, and I should have at least $3,000.

If that Miata isn't at least 95% stock, I'm not interested.

 

Why are specifically looking at miata's? Other than a pretty balanced little sports car what are you wanting it for?

Frank-nice! Can't wait to see the green machine with some new bounce!

 

Where ya at fellas

 

LIKE!!!! Now I just gotta get those 5100's from you.

 

For those that like my sig here is a link to who made it, he accepts donations if you like what he did for you and he did mine in a day so he isn't extremely busy right now:

I know man me too it'll be good to be alil higher and more flex as well.

 

Taylor: it should be 100% stock, family friend who I believe bought it new, not sure what year it is, I can check into gettin some info from him on it.

 

nice parts both of y'all, mod day REAL soon I'm guessing??

 

how hard is it gonna be to insall these, my 5100s were easy but since these are gona be longer what will have to do?

 

Please do, Travis.

And for the price, and then the price to prep it to track it, it's the best option.

Best handling, cheapest to maintain, RWD, manual, that can be bought. This isn't some whim decision I've made. I've been stewing on it and researching for months. Talked to countless people that have tracked Miatas and other vehicles. Plus, it's the PERFECT compliment to my truck. It really is. The two are similar, but very different. Soon to be lifted Tacoma purposed towards rock-crawling, and a miata to DD prepped to tear up the race track / autocross / put the top down and tear up a mountain road? Perfect combo.

My options boiled down to 944, 240z, Miata, E36.

The first two are hard to find unmolested and aren't that cheap to repair. The E36 just doesn't feel right for me. I've been driving a 328 quite a bit recently and it feels great, but just isn't my cup of tea.

If this test drive goes well today, then I'm all in and full steam ahead searching for one.

 

Easy peezy lemon squeezy, but that's on a 2nd gen!

 

I was wondering if you would have to disconnect the ball joint and all that stuff

 

Shouldn't have to I would think just the top three, sway bar, then bottom bolt and slide right out

 

Still kinda funny to me that this is EXACTLY the same thing you'd get at Toytec (the coils have Toytec printed on them) for ~$75 less through Headstrong

 

Damn all of you and your parts, my add a leaf for the dakars is on BO, but I will lend a hand to whomever wants the help!

Reminds me, Travis, what bumpstops do you have on the flip kit? I have existing superbumps from wheelers that obviously aren't made to bolt on there like the timbrens, and I'm not paying that kinda moneys for bumps. I am thinking about just welding the superbumps to the flip kit plate.....yes?

 

I'd have to agree with Brandon on that one shouldn't be too hard.
Let me know when I can get those front. 5100's.

 

NICE!!!!
