Why Hello everyone, It sure has been a long..long time hasen't it?

Ive' been out of the car scene for a few yrs now trying to get my priorities straight and just got back into the game with my most recent car purchase. I had to stick to mazda, something about these cars that keeps pulling me back towards them. I just wanted another mazda, great handling as always, clean, something to mess with and most likely soon do the bolt on thing as we all know its hard to not mod these cars. So, I bought myself a 1993 mx-5. Black with black and red/leather interior. About 115k miles on the clock. Runs good, couple of little tiny dents on the back drivers side panel near the gas cap. Little rattle which sounds like a loose heat shield that I will fix this weekend. Overall Im happy with how this car performs. Peppy, handles amazing and am looking forward to some tips from the people that have miata's, and know some DIY's and good websites for parts.

To some of the older members that remember me, WHATS UP!?
Looking forward to chatting with you all and meeting some new people on the forums.

Here's a few quick shots from my phone when I just got back from picking her up. She needs a good cleaning.

I was in the shop today working on the car, had to pull off a rusted heat shield that was causeing a rattling sound when driving, now its great to drive without hearing a sound. I also found a light oil leak also that I have to take care of before I get it inspected so It can pass. Not a big deal.

Also see that it has bilstein shocks on the car that are in good shape. And that someone has messed with the car over the years. Theres a toggle switch on below the steering wheel to the right. Doesnt seem to do anything.

Also the whole A/C compressor is gone, might have been removed from a old header install. Little things here and there. Nothing bad though.

IF ANYONE IS SELLING A USED RB HEADER OR CB EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR A REASONABLE PRICE, PLEASE PM ME!

Also saw this really clean 626 in the shop a few bays over, so I took some pics.

Free mod. Just finished polishing the heat shield. Could have got it more shiny, but didn't want to go crazy with it.

They all bought a Oldsmobile and retired with a horrible 401k... J/K they are around. Not me though. I am not old. Or a member. Or a funny person with a sense of humor.

Heard its a little toasty in texas am I correct. Hitting the triple digets.

I haven't been on here for about 2yrs. So I guess a bunch of people left, but more became members.
