Hi roadster types, a friend linked me here since i've been looking to buy my first NB. I've been on the lookout for a Twilight Blue with Tan, '99 or '00 with a 5 speed.
In the meantime I've got a JDM sweet (tm) Subaru Legacy that I originally bought just for the G/F to learn to drive. So far the only bits that are actually from j-town are the Bilsteins from a GT-B. Otherwise it's got WRX brakes, GT wheels and 80hp of slushbox fury!

Other stuff about me. I'm 24, just moved to nashville, TN from Pittsburgh. I work for dell now, which is a heck of a lot better than living with my parents and delivering auto parts. I've been autocrossing since 2000, I helped publish a performance book for Dodge Neons, and I love anime!
Awesome! 80hp isn't a lot but you've got to start somewhere. I've always loved the BH. One day I will own a GT-B tricked out with all sorts of STi parts.
if it ever comes up in conversation, point at the car and say to your gf, "it followed me all the way home! can we keep it? i promise to feed and take care of it!"
Re: Noob that doesn't quite have a roadster yet from Middle TN ***or does he?
Ok, so clearly i need to post an update after 2 years!
Since posting this, i've proposed to Charlotte (reenacted in manga):
I bought a basket case B13 Sentra 1.6, rehabbed it for way to much money, and sucked my way through a season and a half of ill-handling miserty. Did some cool stuff with it though. Tail of the dragon, Trackday at nashville superspeedway, couple autocrosses, etc. I recently sold it to fund the roadster purchase.
Poor Subaru got hit by a guy without insurance, our insurance covered it and he's been ok:
Adopted Majo the kitten:
We bought a house!
And we got married!
Charlotte bought an '05 Civic:

Currently own two MX-5´s. A 2004 Mazdaspeed and a 2001 Sport. But because of norwegian taxes on tuned cars I am selling the Mazdaspeed (imported from America = not allowed to do anything) so I can do some serious stuff with the 2001 sport (no taxes if the car has been registrated in Norway over...
Hey all,
Long time miata fan, but new owner. Been taking my folks NA for years whenever i could get the chance, and now that my best friend bought, and we built up a 90 NA, I couldn't resist. Picked up a 93 with 132K about a week and a half ago. Some lite rust (barely showing) in rear quarters...
This is kind of a long story so bear with me. My name is Kris, I live in British Columbia, Canada. 4 years ago my family was devastated by the news that my dad, 51 at the time had been diagnosed with cancer in his throat. We stayed positive as he went through radiation and the treatment seemed...
