My Miata's - Minix3

This is my boyfriend number 2. NCEC 2007 MX5.



Race track:



Skidpan:



1 skidpan + 1 trackday = very bald tyres



Random drive yesterday:








Installing ipod cable/audiolink [Yes I do my own mechanical work];




My front bar looks like a happy asian boy.



diffuser=mouth, grill=noes and foglights=eyes

Current mods:
After the first skidpan day I decided to get some sway bars [custom made] as well as some polyurethane bushes.
The thickness of the after market rear however [18mm] caused the bottom bolts of the D bracket to snap which was a pain to fix since they were welded to the subframe.
Changed to high tensile bolts.
New front bar after some douche reversed into me [third time this year]. But luckily he left a number.

Parents paid so I couldn't complain. Plus it's my daily when I get my S13. Driving to and from city [downtown] everyday is a bitch in manual.

I never had a problem shifting n hanging uphill while commuting in da EK9...... Hahahaha it kept me awake actually so I wouldn't fall asleep on the long commute hahahahaha....
Especially when the VTEC kicks in it wakes u up hahahahaha, Jon would know what I mean hehehehe
But yah only thing I couldn't do once was drink my coffee, turn, shift n somehow pick up the phone out of my pant pocket hahahaha

That's kinda why I fell in love wid da DSG hehehehehehe........
But otherwise manual daily driven keeps u awake hahahahaha......
But yah can't complain when parents pay for shit hahahahaha

Why don't you get the RX8 auto front sway bars?

Factory sways are BS expensive just like all factory parts.
I got them custom made by guys who tune race spec MX5s so I know they will do a good job and know what works on the NC.

pssst....i get a discount on all stock and competition mazda parts >_>

ya uhm, i live in richmond and commute downtown to st paul's hospital for work in my EK9 with no P/S, no A/C. the only thing i find unenjoyable about it is the bumpiness of downtown streets, other than that its perfectly do-able. oh, and i currently have zero music in the car since i removed the subs and amps. this is a 25-45 minute drive depending on traffic and has plenty of uphills and downhills.

not trying to be mean, but suck it up.

edit: forgot to mention, i actually prefer to hear my engine/exhaust INSTEAD of music haha... better driving experience.

Driving to uni is 1 hour +.
Plus your streets are like heaven in comparison to the streets in Sydney. Potholes and bumps everywhere. Not to mention the traffic is the city is like never moving.
My parents excuse for not allowing me to get manual was "We hate the way you drive now, we aren't getting you a manual. It will also encourage you to modify it more and it's still under 7 years warranty". Bloody Asian parents =[quote="Raid3n"]t really need it considering I will have my S13 to play with.
That will have no stereo no rear seats =D
