This will look great in my driveway in 10 years after depreciation has taken it’s share off the price. I loved the 4C’s looks and crazy person appeal, and now I can get that toned down in a practical sedan!

Shots fired!

This is the sole reason I do not modify my cars. Still haven’t found “the one” that I want to keep forever to justify the costs.

Yeah, I hear that you can use a set of VW brackets to save a little money too.

I’m sure we’d get along! Sadly I no longer have the Miata as I now have a baby. There is hope, saving up for a house to get a garage to store the “alone time” Miata which will eventually be the “father/daughter bonding” Miata.

I thought about trying the door bushings, wasn’t sure what to expect but many people had great opinions on them. I sold my Miata before I could get a set but plan on getting another Miata one day, I’ll move that to the top of my upgrade list.

Beefer rear sways seems to be one of the best things you can do to most Subarus to get them from being so prone to understeer. It’s at the top of my list after I get maintenance caught up this summer.

I’m a fan of the Direzza DZ102s as well, though my wife’s Mazda 2 doesn’t use them. Instead I put them on a Miata shortly after I bought it replacing the old allseasons that it came with. It was just so much better in everyway, and the DZ102s weren’t even that expensive.

Ha, saw a new SS with that conversion as well. Was gone when I came out to snap a pic sadly.

This was my thought, 60's especially, as that’s before vacuum lines really got out of hand. Tons of space, simple mechanics, fewer parts and little electronics. Just have to stay away from rust, but that’s a problem even with 90's cars.

Any relatively complete socket set should have each of those.

First thing I thought of as well.

Graceful Red Mica (90 Mazda Protege), Black (95 Ford Escort), Silver Frost Clearcoat Metallic (99 Mercury Sable), Peacock Green (93 Dodge Stealth), Silver Frost Clearcoat Metallic (01 Ford Taurus), True Red (12 Mazda 2), Jade Metallic/Light Beige Metallic (86 MR2), Classic White (90 Mazda Miata), Aspen White (99…

Most early motor issues were either related to oiling issues (2 squirters instead of 3, or people not realizing they need to keep an eye on it) or coil packs going bad. A significant number of engines were misdiagnosed with bad engines because of bad coil packs and were then replaced by re-manufactured engines. The…

the TT does have rear seats, at least in theory...

Awww, don’t be boring. There are plenty of cars you can get that are just as reliable and cheap to own without making the teen fall asleep at the wheel. You want more enthusiasts you gotta start em young.

With out Opel to supply Buick with cars anymore we may see them get cut back and reserved for the chinese, though Buick has beengrowing quite well. I’m not sure how much of that is in the US. Reducing their small car production isn’t a bad idea right now, though I wouldn’t cut it completely. With Republicans in…

Might just be my area with those prices then, though the ones I usually find are R3s with 50k or less miles so probably comparable with what you got.

This is the right answer.

In this price range I’d avoid it. A well taken care of 09+ with the updated engine is much more reliable but they seem to hover around $15k right now. The 05s in this price range would be a headache, and not necessarily for apex seals, but for things like spark plugs and coil packs. That and at that price range…
