Yeah, but they won't be ready until this summer sometime. I had these RS's in boxes, just needed a few difference barrels. I do want a set of eddy's wheels though, the concave 17's look great!

They are 275/40/17 conti's (hoosiers)... I hope I can get enough heat into them!

Yea, free > $. I want those tires......

Those wheels are so freaking sexy...

No kidding. 17x9.5 concaves look so good on an e36.

Indeed. I love this photo (yeah yeah, they are 18's but it's still the best).



ok, I love both of these photo's

So for this summer I am looking at getting a new car that not only gets better gas mileage but, is rwd. I am seriously considering a NA Miata. I know they have very little power but, I am interested in learning how to drive a car faster, not necessarily go faster. Plus they get good gas mileage compared to my ix, which also needs tons of money to be reliable. Is this a good car for my goals?

I don't care if some people think they are gay cars, so you can leave that part of your opinion out.

Spending the money on making your car reliable and just keeping one car will save more money than buying and maintaining a miata.

In order to do that, it will cost more than we paid for the price of my car originally. As far as I have seen, you can pick up maintained miatas for pretty cheap.

Also, it would be a first-gen.

Not sure what you paid for the car, so that information is currently irrelevant to me. And it takes like $1000 to make an E30 reliable, if even... miatas are usually much more expensive than that.

It's still probably going to be cheaper just to stay consolidated to one car unless miatas get 50mpg and don't use consumables such as tires, brakes, and oil.

Purchasing a miata also doesn't fix the fact that you have an unreliable E30.

If you want a reliable car, I'll trade you my volvo 240 for your E30, straight up.

32mpg, RWD, and it's pretty much indestructible.

Blown t-case, axles are on there way out, needs everything suspension wise done, and plenty of other things. I am working with an ix.

Volvo's aren't bad. My parents have one, I just don't really want one.
