note to self:

{changing brakes makes the car stop better}
so , i finally took care of some over due maintnance...changed the oil, front brakes, rear brakes, brake fluid, clutch fluid. surprisingly i found it all pretty easy, nothing complicated, usually one thing will happen that throws everything off, but i didn't have that. felt awkward lol.......anywho, my brakes feel a jabillion times better and not so sketchy.

so far so good

So Ive probably mentioned that i picked up a Miata, and I gotta say so far i'm really diggin' it. It's truly a fun little car, you feel like your sitting directly in the middle and the weight balance feels phenomenal. As slow as it may be, it sure doesn't feel like it, its a revy lil' motor, pretty much anything after 4 grand and it moves. the interior is nice and cozy, but doesn't feel small. Something about it is so, I don't know, raw, it's pure, nothing is watered down and diluted, it is what it is. It's so simple i love it, it's about as close to an 86 as you can get with out being a chassis that's old as dirt.(not to say that AE or TE chassis' aren't good,lets face it, they're old)


anywho, can't wait to start playing with it. On a parting note, here's a Mx-5 i found online, i love how simple it is!

satisfaction



sorry for the super delay, needless to say ive been up to no good, making some potentially big changes(I HOPE!).So finally after weeks of contemplating i decided to get rid of my s13.I had finally gathered all the parts needed to do the 5-speed swap(good stuff too), then one day kinda realized it wasn't what i wanted. Not too long after deciding i didn't want s-chassis, my little brother decides he wants to track his car(note pic below of the animal himself giving the ever popular gun)



it was there that i realized what i wanted next, MIATA!!! i had to go home and do more research.So after a weeks worth of that, i test drove, and more research, and more thought, and did some math, and Googled, and read, and "yes, this is what i want", so i did just that....and after a lil bit of waiting i finally got one, its in good shape, came with some cool extras, and not to mention i got it for pretty cheap, im diggin' it so far, can't wait to start playing around with it.

(ALTHOUGH THIS ISN'T MINE, ITS KINDA WHAT I AIM FOR)
