they should put out a nicer base miata than what they have.

That car seems to be pushing some negative camber... I guess just optical illusion or something.

Mazdaspeed Miatas are the shit.

I always get a chuckle when I see that Mazdaspeed Miata intercooler.

is that really the size of the itnercooler or is it just the pic? ive known about the mazdaspeed stuff, but it just still doesnt seem THAT great. oh well, mazda makes some nice cars, my dad always buys them and puts about 200k on them all before selling them. he has 80k on his protege 5 and all he has done is replaced the rear rotors. fun little car, it handles awsome, its just not so fast.

[Rob]

yup its small. its factory, not the bling aftermarket coolers everyone jocks. mazda was trying to preserve the character of the car, just with more power. so no huge boost, not factory at least

[Halon]

Yeah, the mazdaspeed line is pretty impressive for stock cars. Like the Mazda Speed Protege`5 or whatever kept pretty close with my friends mod'ed 95 MX-6. It was a pretty cool race. and his car will -crush- my mostly stock 318i. :P

The intercooler is partsbinned from a the european diesel protege, at least the placement on the miata is better than that on the Mazdaspeed protege.

"ok guys.... were all going to go out and buy the slowest cars we can find ok... then we are going to race them.... yeah yeah that sounds liek a great idea"


lol... sorry i just thought that was a funny little story... my car is just as slow

[riverdale21]

Theres a guy in my neck of the woods that has a wide body Miata that is powered by a supercharged Mustang 5.0 engine. The conversion is called the "Monster Mini" its actually pretty popular. He said that first gear is all but useless except for vaporizing his tires. It had a 6speed from god knows where and his rear end was geared too high. That thing sounded sick. Definately not Miata sound.
