Nice! The proportions on that offroad miata are quite appealing. Drag Racing bro?

Those would be the rotary bros, the ones who give their NA a little FD if you know what I mean.

ugh jealous of your 350z! My maxima has a VQ30DE, and its parked with my moms 2009 altima hybrid with the QR25DE. Ill probably hang on to the maxima throughout college (another 3 years) and then I hope to replace it with a 350z!

Nice :) One of my buddies just sold his Evo and got a 370 (alot slower then his 530 hp Evo, but alot easier and more reliable to drive on the street) my best friend wants a 350 as well. Im just trying to buy parts for it and my Beetle, and also a house to put them in..then hopefully a truck of some sort so that I can DD said truck and tow the Z when it becomes to powerful to easily drive on the street, haha.

Hilarious. Keep 'em coming! LS swap for "overcompensating because he has a miata bro". You could do "show car bro" or "built-not-bought bro" with an elise, or a DIY bro where the car is always "at home getting stuff finished up on it"

Y'know, I was totally going to bitch about how Miatas are so not "bro" cars, looking for an online pic of my car as an example — I discovered that the pic I posted on my regular forum last week had been posted on a TopMiata's Facebook and another group's Instagram pages, with dozens of comments like "clean, bro" and "sweet roll bar, bro."

Sigh... Touché.

Haha, this could not be more true! I guess you could call me the "stock bro" with a bit of "racer" and "rally" intentions with my '95 Miata. Just finished getting the interior back to factory spec, and so far have some TAG Heuer stickers on the fenders to make it look like a rally car haha.

Given that it's a Mitia I'm going to be disappointed if there isn't a engine swap bro or LS bro!

I was thinking of that! Not sure how to show an engine transplant though :/

The Targa Miata does in fact have an LS swap.

The schizophrenic stock bro! Mine has gone from semi-because-race-car to almost-clean. All that remains is a good roll bar and a sport exhaust. The roll bar seems like a stupid thing to remove considering that I would want to survive past my 30th birthday, and the exhaust noise is just sooooo addictive. I do want it to be in unmolested stock condition. I just also want it to make that WROOOOOOOOM noise when I press the throttle.
And this comes from someone who has always despised small-engined cars with unnecessary loud exhausts.

just add a blower scoop on top, pretty much every jalop will get it.

What about SaneCustomBro?

He has a not really stock Miata. Custom embroidery on the interior, sick paint job (2tone or flames normally), 18" BBS HK rims, engine swap with an RX-7, and a general veneer of not being able to resell the car once he's done with it.

S2000 rich? lmao

The richbro would be a Lotus

I don't think miata owners would not drive s2000 anyway

Sounds good to me! Your mod list seems as if it consists of all of the usual things on a Miata that you'd want to upgrade. A good set of wheels and tires, a good suspension set up, some good brakes, a well tuned stock naturally aspirated motor, an exhaust a roll-bar, and maybe some Elise seats if you're classy/rich enough.

The mods described above are what I'd want to have in a "perfect" Miata, however I'm content with my car as it is now. Mazda really put so much attention the detail into this car. My car didn't come with the stock shift knob, and after playing around with 5 different setups (aftermarket knobs/extenders), I bought a stock one from miata.net. The weight and action is absolutely perfect. Totally changed the driving experience.

Have any pictures of yours you'd be willing to share?

Ideally with a blower, scoop and zoomies.

These two will have to do for now, it is currently parked in my dad's garage to get new brake pads and a general going-through before I go for my first proper long trip. My plan is to drive to Italy next month! I live in Sweden and want to avoid the Autobahn, so it will be something like 120-130 US miles each way. I'm kind of new to Oppo, but do you think I should put together a photo album on here when the day comes? It will involve a Miata, a pretty girl, and the Italian alps. I can try to keep my own face out of the pictures as much as possible...

Oh, and I forgot to mention: The foglights probably aren't original either. Regarding your list, I completely agree that every one of those modifications would improve the car. However, in the first year the Miata was imported to Sweden (1990), we only got 300 cars. Almost every single one of those ended up in the hands of a stancebro, and I can't remember ever seeing an "unmolested" NA. That's why I aspire to keep mine as clean as possible, as God/Mazda designers intended. The exhaust noise, however... Gaaaaah.

Edit: I should mention that I have been very, very tempted to buy a second one, just to modify and make it more track focused. Just can't do it to this one! It used to belong to my mother before I recently bought it from her, and she would find me and kill me.

That looks awesome! I totally understand your want to keep it unmolested. It's a pain enough seeing a lot of "stanced" (ruined) NA's in the U.S, but I can only imagine what it must be like when they are so few and far between. As a general philosophy I feel like if you make any mods, just be sure to save to original parts, and to not hack anything up so it can be returned to stock at any time.

Definitely keep us updated on your Italian road trip. That way you can make me jealous of all of the beautiful roads you guys have across the pond to enjoy the perfect balance of the NA.
