(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score First time Miata owner Long story short, I used to have an MS6, but got into financial trouble so the bank had to collect it. I will miss it terribly, but at least I did have the experience and privilege to own one. Thanks to the great friends which some happen to be NATOR were able to help me out to acquire this sweet gem. I'm pretty much fucking grateful right now after the shit that has happened after the MS6 getting repoed. If it wasn't for them I would of probably stepped out of the Mazda game which would of been the least of my worries, but I'm glad I'm still in it and everything turned out the way it did thanks to them. Anyway, enough before this gets any more soft. It's a '95 Merlot M-Edition approaching 165K on the clock. I've been driving it a little over a month already and it's such a blast! It drives like champ and I can't ask for more out of a car that's been around for a while. I can't wait for it to get warmer out here to start turning wrenches and learn some good shit about this car. I'm very excited about their potential and what can be done to them. Man, this roadster life is pretty sweet!

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score Thank alot, guys! It's a privilege to own this car. I'm so in love with it I take pleasure into driving it everyday. Never a dull moment behind the wheel.
I haven't got that far yet lol. Supercharging would be pretty sweet for that usable power at AutoX, but the price tag for that is pretty steep. As soon as everything is squared away, I want to shoot for 180-200 daily. Sounds like a turbo is down my alley unless I find a supercharger for cheap.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Welcome to the miata club, and the m edition club. Your 200 hp goal will quickly turn into 250hp and beyond once you get the initial boost. My car at like 200hp put car lengths on my speed6 and a lightly modded speed 3. Enjoy the car man.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Amazing little cars, can't kill them, bullet proof engines if taken care of. I've had mine 20 years now, hardly burns a drop of oil at 152,000, still has the original headlights, clutch, and engine, did do the slave cylinder tho. Tons of aftermarket stuff, new Paint and a body kit too, congratulations on your new baby!! |
