MX-3.com

Been a long time since I`ve visited the forums.
Usually it was several times a day, but after I changed jobs, and had no time to even drive it, I kinda stopped visiting.
Had it parked for almost 1-1.5 years where I drove it maybe 20 times or so.

So, in May 2008 it got sold ($11.000 USD, wich was pretty cheap here).

Had a quick stop with a Mercury Cougar (Ford Cougar here in Norway), october 07 to june 08.

But finally, I got back into Mazda`s again

July 1st I bought a 2001 Miata Sport. (6-speed, torsen lsd, big brakes etc etc).
Have to say, I couldn`t have been happier with the car.
It`s just awesome.

And of course, it has been modded a bit
Kyb AGX, swaybars, springs, shortshifter, plugwires, harddog rollbar etc etc.
Still has some plans for it, but it`s pretty fun already

Pic before swapping the crappy Eibach springs for Flyin miata springs:


I`ll try to keep you guys updated

nope-mx3 (now nope-mx5)

Everyone comes back to Mazda! Nice looking Miata, always liked them.

I'm so glad its not our latest supergay generation! That one is nice!

Lost another oldskooler, but you're still with Mazda. Looks fun! I almost got one that was mostly race prepped, but I use my hatch space alot.

I have always loved the NB's!

that must be a good teacher for the drift academy ... drift looks great , but only from the outside
But a Miata is all about girls, sunshine and having a cheap really fun car
