So I picked her up yesterday and decided to run her around the city visiting garages and up/down cypress mountain for 12 hours with a couple of friends

HKS RS Racing Intake
Racing Beat Single Catback
came with her. BTW I've heard bad things about the filtering capabilities of the mushrooms on the HKS.

I knew what I was getting myself into when I bought her

Nice one dude! How many miles?

If there's something wrong with your body, you go to the gym.
If there's something wrong with your mind, you see a shrink.
But, when there's something wrong with your soul, you have no where to run to, but MUSIC.

brink of overheating, uphill run during hot summer afternoon

getting alignment done, it was funny because they let me cut in line to get it done right away just because it was an fd

almost 100k miles but a rebuilt motor (which was done by mazda themselves), and there is a 5th gear synchro problem which means
im getting a new tranny

the car was a solid 10k, my buddy got me the deal

btw kyle im gonna drive this down to cali one day. hehe

Was the 10k your own hard money? You sweated and toiled for it?

Ahhhhh icic. It's good to hear about kids buying their OWN things. I have no respect for the kids who roll around in 35k+ cars their mommy and daddy bought them and say "my car" and brag.

It's pretty cool that your dad wants to roll around in it too. Too bad my dad only likes luxury or straight up off-roading giant trucks (he owns a farm with lots of open space and almost no pavement).

I asked my dad if he wants to take my Miata out for a spin and he answered "i dont know how to drive stick"...... all his tractors are manual... lol.

Anyway, congrats, I hope more pics are to come!
