The fine print says, "applies to all owners over the age of 40"

Hmmm...

raen419 · 11-22-2010, 03:32 PM

Pfsh, the best upgrade is better than all of those:
Better tires.
More seat time.

Done.

Truth but wrong order.

Seat-time in shitty tires, then new tires = Schumacher

Lets break it down

Quote:

Miata/MX-5 Grille - So you can impress rolling up to Bingo
Miata/MX-5 Hood Lift Kit - Because your back never was the same after Nam
Miata/MX-5 Floor and Trunk Mats - So you can make your car look newer than you are
Miata/MX-5 Cup Holder - Something to hold your dentures in
Miata/MX-5 Fuel Lid Door- To help your memory in remembering where it is again

BTW they will find a cure for age before i'm 50

you cannot under estimate the importance of a cupholder

phillyb™ · 11-22-2010, 03:55 PM

freedomgli · 11-22-2010, 03:59 PM

2. strong, wide, lightweight alloy wheels with sticky tires
3. roll bar
4. upgraded control surfaces: steering wheel, shift knob, pedals, seats (may as well throw harnesses in here, too)
5. ITBs!

Most kids like to mod before basic maint. Then they cry when they spent all their money on mods and now have a water pump taking a shit, head gasket blowing, and radiator hoses that are ready to burst. You always need to make sure your car is tip top before doing anything to it.

Hmmm...

I must be hanging with a different group of "over 40" Miata owners. But then again we are a bunch of old Auto-Xers

I've always thought my Fidanza flywheel was one of the most appreciated purchases I have made.

/\ This x1000! I remember when my stock center cup holders broke. First thought nothing of it but later was pissing raging mad! Bought them again and now all is well in the world.

1vicissitude · 11-22-2010, 07:52 PM

That first list looks more like an overstock list. Somebody trying to move inventory? haha

Bob Loblaw · 11-22-2010, 08:37 PM

I decided to do things my own way.

Intake
CBE
Set of coilovers proven on the track and the road.
Rollbar
Seats

I agree with this, the last two miatas ive owned have been a bitch to hold open soda cans in.

Surprised no one suggested the obvious..
1.Hookers
2.Blow
3.Black jack
I could honestly care less about the list im set with these three.

Miataspeed1990 · 11-22-2010, 09:18 PM

#1 should be turbo

AnonymousOne · 11-22-2010, 09:47 PM

That initial list made me FUUUUUUUUUUUU
