korey_hofer Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 been trying to figure out a cheap car I can mod to hell and back that will do great on twisty stuff and go tot thinking miata 1.8 4 banger 5 speed short wheel base wide tracking (for size) and good handling any reason why not to use one? I will ignore any one who just says "cause they're gay" or ''do a v8 swap'' Quote previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme. I talk shit on other forums like a little bitch and hope i don't get caught out on the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitacy Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 They roll pretty good, that's all I can think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EclipseChris Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 They are actually insanely quick stock. If you get one spend a few months driving it stock, just to get used to it, familiar with it ya know? Then mod it. You'll be happy with it. Quote i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P. Eclipse build Old New V-Dub My feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korey_hofer Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I'd probably start with ditching abs/power steering. and swap out tires and wheels. motor is the last thing I'd touch Quote previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme.

korey_hofer Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I'd probably keep the stock NA 1/8 and just mod it. I want an FC but figured a miata be better to start off with. coming from drag racing Quote previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme.

bryanbowles90 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 A shit ton of people bag on this car.... For reasons that just don't make sense. It's one of the only true race bred affordable convertables available today. Don't fuck with the motor and keep up on matinence, it'll run forever. Wider tires, coil overs, and a good exhaust. You'll never notice the haters... Quote wishin' I could be as fly as you fine folks...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
