Sometimes, I feel that I made the wrong decision.

Look, I'm all for the Miata Life, but you done fucked up.

That NC is beautiful and all..but...I'll explain all the issues with it when I'll post my extensive review on it. But to give you a little bit of intel, it doesn't give you the confidence to drive at full potential like the NA does.

*raises eyebrow*

I'm looking forward to this review. Will post Miata Life gif.

You know what? I'm willing to wait a bit before doing the review and get OEM yellow dots Rx8 sway bars. I heard they remove the huge body roll that Mx5s gets which causes me to be unconfident at pushing the car in corners.

Brian Silvestro > RotaryLover 05/18/2014 at 22:23

Body roll can be fun but when actually pushing the car, is scary as shit. DO THAT

RotaryLover > Brian Silvestro 05/18/2014 at 22:28

Definitely. I'll give a call to my good parts guy at Mazda. If it's too expensive, I'll try a junkyard and get used ones.

Brian Silvestro > RotaryLover 05/18/2014 at 22:30

YES! Hopefully it improves a bunch.

RotaryLover > Brian Silvestro 05/18/2014 at 22:35

Oh btw, this is a list of what needs to be done, minus the horn, to make the car fun to drive and almost as tossable as the NA. I can confirm that everything this guy says is true. http://rallyways.com/specialty/mazd…

Coilovers dawg, hell yeah.

RotaryLover > Brian Silvestro 05/18/2014 at 22:52

Too expensive. I don't see myself saving up over 1500 for just coilovers. I'm a cheap ass lol.

Brian Silvestro > RotaryLover 05/18/2014 at 22:52

Yeah I don't see myself paying that money for anything on my car really.

RotaryLover > Brian Silvestro 05/18/2014 at 22:58

Well maybe some engine upgrades. How about some better turbo parts for your ST once the warranty is off? Actually, you think you'll keep it by that time?

RotaryLover > Brian Silvestro 05/18/2014 at 23:04

Also, this kit looks like what I actually need. http://m.autoanything.com/suspension-sys…

But FWD and old + italian isn't a good combo. You made the right choice.

Thanks for confirming it. I needed this.

You should have chosen the Alfa life.

I don't know...probably not. Only time will tell.

It's the repair bills that I'm afraid of...if not I would had gotten one.

Hey I am considering Miata sooo start talking.

The Miata Life is all about taking your time my follower. Be patient.

Vince-The Roadside Mechanic > RotaryLover 05/19/2014 at 19:39

Convince me. I am also considering a 240sx and leaning towards that so try your hardest.

RotaryLover > Vince-The Roadside Mechanic 05/19/2014 at 20:11

You'll never find a unmoslested 240sx at the right price. The drift tax killed it and cops will annoy you like no tomorrow and apparently in some places they check if you swaped the engine. The Miata in the other hand, kids love it. Girls live it. Old peeps love it. Insurance is CHEAP AS FUCK. Cops don't care about you even if you floor it. The driving is quite different since it's slow. It's quite another experience. It turns on a dime with a proper alignment. Just don't get a base model. Also, they hold their value pretty high and for the same price of a moslested drift taxed 240sx, you get a full equiped Miata that has been driven by a gramps. It's so cheap to run and easy to fix that you can breathe easy and get a nice 4-5 seater on the side. And of course, the Miata Life, where owners will actually weave each others. Try that with another 240sx owner.

Vince-The Roadside Mechanic > RotaryLover 05/19/2014 at 20:44

I still like the 240sx.

Looks like I'll have to make a post about you soon.

Haha is the Na bigger than the Nc?

RotaryLover > Vince-The Roadside Mechanic 05/20/2014 at 08:37

Au contraire. The NA exterior looks much smaller. But the interior is much much spacious than in the NC.

Good thing I had a picture of my Miatas to compare! ;)

Vince-The Roadside Mechanic > RotaryLover 05/20/2014 at 08:41

I am gonna say no to the miata life. But you have one more shot to convince me if you want.

RotaryLover > Vince-The Roadside Mechanic 05/20/2014 at 09:18

GODDAMMIT MORTAL! GET A BLOODY MIATA! IT'S MORE EPIC THAN A 240SX BECAUSE I SAID SO! FOLLOW ME AND BE A HERO TOO. YOU TOO WILL FLY IN THE SKY WITH SOME VICKS ON YOUR CHEST WHILE DANCING ON A COUCH NAKED!

I am thinking of getting a porsche 928. (I will be indecisive till I get a car)

Then you'll love the 928's epic super long engine belt. You'll have the fun of your life replacing it!

Vince-The Roadside Mechanic > RotaryLover 05/20/2014 at 21:19

I saw the MPG rating and I think I will get a 944.

RotaryLover > Vince-The Roadside Mechanic 05/20/2014 at 21:23

Oh excuse me mister Porscha. You must be too good to drive a Miata eh? I think it's the opposite. You can't reject a Miata, but a Miata can reject you. (reverse psychology, plz bait)

A song could convince me.

RotaryLover > Vince-The Roadside Mechanic 05/20/2014 at 21:30

Working on it.

It's still on sale. Along with a DB7 and a Defender 90. I often wonder where the hell these cars come from ;)

A Db7??? Link please!

Caspian Kilkelly > RotaryLover 06/11/2014 at 10:45

It's an '02, convertible. They want 48k for it. (Obvious link is obvious. I just learned how to kinja)

Caspian Kilkelly > RotaryLover 06/11/2014 at 10:47

The company is one of those used lots in NDG- I think they also sell motorcycles?

Now that I'm looking at it, it's a little south of Mo' West. If you live anywhere near Ville-St-Pierre, you're nearby. I'm inclined to go look at the GTV with my mom so I can convince her to replace her aging civic with a suitable vehicle for an elderly lady to retire in. It's that, or the Defender.

Give me updates on how is it face to face.
