yeah not to mention that the LS actually works
Loud pipes save lives
should I get a 1st or 2nd gen miata?
1st
@Zero Cool Always first
Never 3rd
2nd is okay but 1st gen is the best
kk
I'm looking at a few in my area
the going rate for 1st gen miatas with >175k miles is about $3500
should I aim for a lower milage?
Even the newest 1st gens are 20 years old now, so actual lower mileage ones are going to be pretty rare, and probably sat for a while. With a car like this, I think the thing you most want to avoid is ones which have been abused, since 5k miles on the track are going to put a lot more wear on it than 5k on the highway.

so basically try to look for one that's as stock as possible?
most of the ones in my area have aftermarket wheels and are lowered
which I see as a warning sign
You need to look up a Miata forum, most model specific forums have buyers guides, which specify what to look for
like subframe cracks on BMWs
guys i made a mockup of how i want to wrap my van but i cant pick
where's the van all I see are two wheels
I prefer the second
yeah i just see windows, tires, and lights, no chassis
I'm kind of leaning towards the first, because the car is designed a bit curvy
and that camouflage was made for Western Europe
You ever seen a turbo'd Miata?
yeah
I only knew it was turbo'd because of the blow off valve noise
Should I get a supra?
they're pretty good cars alex
go for it
I'd say 4th gens are overpriced
A Lexus SC300/Toyota Soarer would be a much cheaper project car, unless you really love the look of the supra
I don't know too much about lexus
A Lexus SC300 is a re-badged Toyota Soarer. It came with the non-turbo 3L I6 2JZ-GE supra engine, or alternatively a 4.0 L V8 1UZ-FE in SC400 form. I'm not sure about differences in the block, head, etc. And it probably has smaller brakes, softer suspension, but some of the supra stock units, or upgrades will swap over.
hmmm I'm gonna have to give this the look in
