Ian's snail-powered '93 Miata

[Huffy]

Before this thread I was a fan of Miatas or tan interiors. This has changed my mind about Miatas and I prefer black but tan in this car looks awesome!

How have i not seen this car anywhere?

I moved up to Towson from Southern Maryland in mid-August, and the car doesn't get driven all that often because it's easier for me to walk to class and to work than to drive 1 mile and try to find parking. I'm planning on hitting up some of the local meets though. I think there is a meet on the TU campus this Saturday night. If so, I will definitely be there.

Thanks a lot, man! I wasn't crazy about the tan interior for the longest time. I'm still not really sold on it... who knows...

agreed

Yay! Ripped the left front corner of the lip off the bumper! Shitty Chipotle parking lot FTW!

No worries though, I always carry zip ties...

The weight of me in the car probably caused it to be too low for the chipotle entrance. It's the only logical explanation

Haha that was my first time getting into that parking lot that way and I completely forgot that it's similar to driving up a small cliff. Oh well. I'll have it fixed in no time.

More to come this weekend. Stick around!

Also, thanks again to everyone for your opinion on my car. Negative or positive, I appreciate it. To each his own.

Never seen a Miata on salad shooters, looks great.

[MrGL2]

I don't know why but the 'vette wheels on this particular Miata seem to pull it off !

Nice work, wanna see this thing slide

[VanDamage]

Always though salad shooters would look the business on a miata! Glad someone was clever enough to finally pull it off, well done sir.

Procrastinating hard tonight, so rather than writing this paper and studying I'll just update my thread... Small update. Spent Saturday at the MeatHead Racing shop in Summit Point, WV doing the new exhaust. I broke a downpipe bolt off in the IWG housing and took WAAYYYYY longer than I should've getting everything fitted together and welded but its done and looking/sounding good!

JDM angle, yo...


Downpipe modifications


After everything was put together, the ground clearance on the resonator was... Nonexistent. Hammer time!


I'm hoping to get some better pictures of the car and some videos hopefully this week if not next.
Thanks guys!

Ian
