Nothing new here.. Trying to get rid of the BMW, looking for a Mazda Miata and keeping the Mitsubishi. :)

If u want to know something scary i can tell u that Mazda Miata 90-92 cost about $9000 here in Sweden (~60 000 SEK), and yes, i know how much they cost in the states. I always wanted to try a Miata and now its time :) Next car might be a S70 or something :D

But the weather is great over here now! Last friday i sat on the balcony with shorts, t-shirt and a beer just enjoying the first day of the spring :)

What are you plans for the Miata? Are you going to drop a rotary in it? :ph34r:

I have no idea yet. I´ve seen the Greddy-kits for $1200 and thats kinda interesting of course. That kit with a nice intercooler and some other stuff might work since to Miata engine is the same as the elder Mazda-turbo´s (Called 323 GTX here in Sweden), but with lowered compression.

As soon as i get one im getting some dark (Titanium or black-colored) alloys and nothing more special this summer. I´ll wait til the winter before i do anything else with it.

And oh! Of course i gotta put that baby closer to the street aswell, about 30-35 millimeters.

I might be going to get one later this week but it seems like a couple of geeks found it before me so i guess i might miss this one. But the hunt is on! :)

Man. I really want to get a second gen one and dump a 3 rotor in it. Not really practical plus around here a miata is a girls car. :(

Well, it isn´t the most masculine car over here either but i dont care :)

I like the old Miatas best, no comfort what so ever but surely fun to drive :D

The only thing bugging me is the front bumper (or what ever it´s called), looks ugly.

But if i get a Miata i don´t want to spend a dime on making it go faster straight forward, i´d rather spend that money on the handling and have fun on the tracks and nice roads with loads of turns :)

Then again, a turbo-conversion would be cool but it´s still not a fast car of u don´t plan on spending thousands of dollars on a flyingMiata-kit or something.

Yeah. They handle pretty good. So light and easy to find parts for.

Make sure to take pictures when you get it!

If you need parts from the US i'll find them for you!

Seems like the one i layed a bid on is sold, but i´ve found a silvercolored one not far from here instead :)

Of course i´ll take a bunch of pics!

And yes, it´s easy to find fun parts for the Miata at ebay and such, and there´s lots of it!

I´ll holler if i need help with finding anyting, i truly appreciate it!
