The r34 os getting Better each time i see it

Those whom'st've'ed read my blog for a while, are familiar with the simple and undeniable fact that I don't make good decisions.



This is no exception.



It's a 1990, which means it was sold with a 1.6, or, as a former 1.8 owner, I like to call a "1-point-Dicks".

Not that any of that matters, as it doesn't have an engine. Only a transmission, and everything else behind it.

According to the odometer, this thing's done 200k, give or take. Impressive, no?

But it's been so long since I was in a Miata (not counting my ride home in Boosted's new one; that he got in a trade with JdmSly) I forgot how absolutely small they are.

For reference, the ER34 is a big bitch next to the FC, but the Miata makes the FC look like the ER34. It's insane!

Anyways, I already have some plans for this car. But, as past experience has taught me, nothing, ever, goes, to, plan.

Cough Warehouse fire Cough



Seriously, compare this shot to this one:



Tomorrow I'll move the Miata out a bit to take a comparison picture.

Finances:
Had: 10,750 V$
1 (One) Paycheck: 750 V$
1 (One) 1990 Mazda Miata: 700 V$

Total: 10,800 V$

@ThatBoostedGuy
I'll bet a hundred bucks that my Miata will be finished before yours.

And maybe a Hot n' Ready, with a chocolate cake that says "I'm gay for [whoever wins]"

I know they're all the same color it wasn't even intentional and trust me I wanted a red one >_>

# Smokiegun : Nice tabs you got open. Anyways, congrats on the purchase.

Oh fuck. Uhh, yeah, thanks mate.

# ThatBoostedGuy : M I A T A B O Y S

Congrats on your purchase man! I'd love to work on that with you, give me a date and time and I'll be there.

Fur sure my furry friend! ^-^
o3o

Yiff you decide to come over, make sure to pawse and make sure no one is on your tail.

# Phonexius : Damn so many miatas in LA!!!! Well good luck whit it I hope that u wont forget on the ER34!!

Uhh...

Uhh...

I probably have a sincere problem and my job and friends are more than likely only enabling me.

So, you see...

The roof spoiler wasn't the only thing I ordered from URAS.

A day after I ordered the roof spoiler, I gave in, and, well...



Yeah I kinda bought it on impulse. >_>

But, it just looks too good to pass up, am I right?

This piece is just wonderfully crafted, I must admit.



And if you want a reference on how big the ER34 is/how small the Miata is, check out these two shots.

So, now that that's said and done...

# Sleepin mOnkey : Looking great the R34 do you do you have any ideas in the front?

I was thinking of possibly a GTR front end, but who knows.

Nice cars, when does your matching robe arrive?

Like I said before, such a small mod to the ER34 can add so much more to the car. Keep it clean brother, unlike Brady with my 240SX, and Rinkk who disappeared off the face of the earth after he bought my R32. I think Nissans are bad luck for me...

Thanks for having me over again, it was fun!

Sweet, go for time attack whit the hardtop

# Phonexius : Sweet, go for time attack whit the hardtop

That's what I'm leaning towards, but I could also go open roof but with a padded, big ass rollcage, which could come out pretty nicely.

# ThatBoostedGuy : I can't wait to hear and see that thing running, dude!

u kno it bby

Lemme think about it, since I just started a new project.

Throw an rotary in he

# GoverningNick : Driftphantom's DC5 Teggy.

The Integra was such a fun car to play around with on the track, I can highly recommend the track route! the f22c is a great engine for this kind of build as well. combined with the lightweight Miata chassis, it will be like tracking a go kart! I hope to see you out there some more! I have been itching to take the supercharged e46 out for a few laps

hey that miata should be a hoot to drive. Seeing an R34 in California is strange, but interested to see where that build will go!

Ehhh i always prefered the GT-T front more since a GTR front end seemed kind of wrong on a non GTR. But hey, its your car, excited to see where it goes. I used to have an ER34, they're great cars especially to drift.

Nick, the Miata's out of the garage!?

Well, yeah. I got it running last night. Though I still need to find a way to connect the gauges to the ECU.

And thanks to my custom F22C-NA Miata straightpipe and center exit exhaust, she screams like Star Wars fans when Han Solo was killed by his son, Kylo Ren.



From here, you can also spot the new (to me) Autokonexion trunk lid, and the new, similarly Autokonexion rear fenders.

In the first pic, there was also the new AutoKonexion front fenders.

With these, I'm able to run 15x10 wheels without any spacers, the same width that my FC is running on. (Which hasn't seen much attention innabit, come to think of it.)

Additionally, I picked up a OE hardtop for the car. The previous owner spray-painted it black, and I have no clue what the original color was. Though, it's headliner is pretty intact, and the 700 V$ price was fair.



The interior has also seen some treatment in the previous few days.

Before, it had the stock seats, which had lost any real support, and were torn like Marvel shippers when they found out Bucky killed Iron Man's parents.

Hence, I stopped by good ol' Larry's, and took a Bride Zeta III (same model that can be found in my RX-7!) off of his hands for tree fiddy.

Then, this happened:


:3c

Back to the Mazda!

All I've really got left from today is a close up of my AK (Autokonexion) trunklid, the one with the integrated spoiler.



Yes, she's still on stock suspension, tires, wheels, and brakes.

And, well, even though there's a 240 BHP 2.2 four banger instead of a 120 BHP 1.6 four banger now, the F22C in there is still stock. (But it's got double the power of a regular Miata and it fucking shows it. Holy shit.)

# Phonexius : Nick Nick Nick building cars whit style!!!!!

Thanks mate! You know it, I know it, everyone knows it.

Anyways, as the great Warrior-Poet Ice Cube once said, "If the day does not require an AK, it was good."

Today, was a good day.

I finally took the FC out and gave it some much needed attention, the first time in like, two weeks.



T'was good.

# ThatBoostedGuy : You should bring the FC down to Temecula! I'm down to hangout tonight if you are.

For sure, friendo! I'll post this then head over there.



Jeez, single seater interiors really do it for me. Something about the backyard weapon just gets me in all the grassroots ways.

And yes, I did paint the car!



It's a sexy, deep midnight blue-ish color. Dunno if it's an OEM color for anything, I just liked it.



Also, I picked up a fuckhuge GV lip, and it really transforms the front end.

Now, onto the wheels....

Had: 8,150 V$
