6strngs's project drift miata Options

[6strngs]

IT'S HARD THOUGH!!! It's a very life changing and important decision, I'm allowed to be indecisive. If it wasn't for people like you and their cool Miata with 150+ whp it'd be easier.

Just do what I do, get a car, drive it for a year, then sell it and get something else. I've owned 5 celicas, a supra, a wrx, 2 miatas, a 79 amc, and a 69 pontiac in the 8 years I've had my license. Some cars I've already decided I will own within the next 8 years: eg civic/del sol, MKIV supra, FC RX7, eclipse gsx, another alltrac (or convert a FWD celica to AWD and 3sgte swap it...), Mr2, M3, etc.

That's usually what I do and has been my trend, gets old after awhile though. Which is why I've been so indecisive this time, I want to pick a car and stay with it for a few years for once.

I still say you should've kept the LeMans.

Someone stole your fender!!!

well... I "fixed" the frame and got body panels to align fairly well:


Here's a pic that shows what I did to fix it:


It makes me sad to say this, but this car has officially been retired. The chassis is at a point where it's usable, but only barely. So when the engine blew I decided I'm just going to start fresh with a new car. I picked up an 87 rx7 non-turbo to be the new drift car, and I think I'm going to end up selling my 6gc in the near future to get another miata as a daily. I will, however, be keeping the welded diff I have for the miata on hand so if ever the rx7 is too broken to make it to a drift I can just swap diffs in the miata real quick and have a back-up race car

Nice thread read all of it and everything then got to the end to here that it didn't survive.. It's the most heart breaking thing I've ever read haha. Keep up the good diy work

*sigh* I just can't bring myself to get rid of it yet, so I bought a new engine last night... I'm still debating on what my plan is, but I'm thinking most likely going to be building it with forged internals and use a megasquirt and bigger injectors and sit around 220-250 whp when I'm done, but I'll just be a bigger turbo and bigger injectors away from 400+ at that point.......
