RamRod E28 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Well I finally did it! I traded off the old 96 grand Cherokee and got a 96 1.8 manual miata in trade. She needs some tlc but I do have a td04 laying around for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris3 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 You'll enjoy the car. I've got a 1993 1.6 manual with 75k that I've had since 2001. It's sitting in winter storage and I've been planning on selling but haven't had time to get to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamRod E28 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Ok I legitly own it... And I love driving it and I'll love driving it more once I fix the previous owners hella broke lowering job. Which it looks like they used bicycle springs to lower it which blew the factory struts to hell! So it's hilariously bouncy now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6670charger Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Sorta buying a car is like sorta being pregnant. Looks like a decent car from the blurry pic. Or was the car still bouncing from the weird suspension job when you snapped the picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc43089 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 But CXRacing won't give you a new one if there is ever a problem including self induced from crashing your car. Of course if you smash this car bad enough to damage the radiator you probably won't need a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamRod E28 Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Update! I was partying with bfinley and the crew and was challenged to a burnout... I haven't had the car all that long by this point and have done nothing to it at all... So I revved a little and dumped off the clutch and awesome burnout! So I figured after a 200+ foot burnout that another little one wouldn't hurt... The curse of the Japanese cooling system caught back up with me I blew the old rad sky high! Glad it did tho... There were tons of little stress cracks all over it and was gonna go sooner or later so I was glad it did it a half hour away from home rather than hours away... Stay tuned for some maintainence madness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
