S13 or Miata Wagon?

[Midwest_240sx]

I know we've all see the 240sx truck and what not, but I was wondering if anyone has attempted to make an S13 wagon or do the same thing with a miata. I couldn't bring myself to own a regular miata but a wagon would be sick. Subie makes an impreza wagon, IDK I prolly sound like a tard but I like wagons and if done right I think could look pretty cool. Tell me wut you guys think. I'm open to flames.

^ would have done the same thing.

how would you even go about making an s13 into a wagon?
let alone a flippin miata?

yea, subaru makes impreza wagons.
but that was their purpose, to make a wagon.

you're taking a 2 door coupe and a 2 seater and turning it into something it was never ever intended to be.

s13 utes are cool,
but they are "easy" to create with the right knowledge, tools, and budget.
easy compared to making a wagon at least.

If you want a "wagon"
go buy a subaru or a speed3.

you were open to flaming,
and I believe I took it fairly easy on you.
lol

I understand wut you are saying. Lets just drop that miata. But pretty much go to a junkyard and cut the roof and parts of the side off a honda or VW hatchback, seeing as they pretty much have the same I'm talking about. IDK just a thought it would be different.

[Seanzyyy]

yea,
i get what you mean about the being different aspect.

but personally,
if i was getting a wagon/hatchback,
i would get one that was built that way from factory.

a lot of engineering goes into designing those,
and for the same price or maybe even cheaper,
I would buy a different car.

but to each his own,
if you go for it,
make a build thread.

I would definitely check it out.
lol

I say do it. People will always flame on something. My advice, if you do it, do it good. Make em eat it. Not everyone likes wagons...I do. I personally dont think a miata will look good. bmw kinda mad one but more of a hatch. wheel base just isnt long enough, and I also dont think the lines of the hatch would work out well ( too round) if your gonna attempt it, i think the boxyness of the coupe would be better, afterall the subie is very square in shape defined in shape yet round...if that makes sence. if you do it keep us posted but wear your flamesuit all day everyday until its presentable...

[hbpignosePA]

why not just look for an ummmmm

wagon?

look for old corolla or cressida wagons, or the datto 810 or similar.

they are more unique than cutting up another car to try and make it something its not

[hatedinthemind]

Someone should photoshop a coupe wagon

[s13bandwagon]

idk how serious yall were but i kinda like it

[breadbox]

Please for the sake of the community, don't hack up a perfectly good shell. Do it to a massively F'd up one like that had been rear ended but with a good frame still.

Or I think Chris Made this, I'll leave this here.

[s13bandwagon]

that white panel back doesnt look half bad

[biggie]

My poor dead car has been disgraced.

[Blake...]

You could just buy a miata and buy one of those tops that gives it that hatchback look. Hell, just buy a vert and make a top. It's a lot safer that way imo..

[biggie]

Or buy one of the sketchy GTiRs running around.

Hmmm, wonder when someone will start importing Stageas...

this looks rad. My guess is, you will never do it. I think it would be baller if you did tho. I would start with a hatch (its all open back there already) cut it out like a ute and then grab the back from a subaru outback and weld that s*** together. I think the sil front would look best.

[breadbox]

I like the vert Idea.

lol i have a hatch

[Midwest_240sx]

I think it looks pretty cool. I have a plan for how I would go about doing this but it would be after I got my current s13 to my likings. But thanks for the photoshops they look pretty sick.

[s13sickboi]

looks kinda like an ae86, in which case its cool. the others posted are alright.

Awww... thats so sad...

This is better in just about every quantifiable way.

[Midwest_240sx]

Wow that miata is sexy. It's like a baby RX-7 that would tear ur face off. LOL IDK why I said that but I like the car. Where would you be able to buy that top.

[Philipio]

Where would you be able to buy that top.

Miata wagon seems like a really, really horrible idea unless you literally don't care about any sort of handling or performance whatsoever. The stock weight ratio is 50/50. All the weight you would add to the rear would ruin the car.

[simmode1]

Yeah, the Autokonexion kit adds like 21 pounds to the rear of the car. Definently for those that don't care about weight distribution. Like ppl who do LS1 Miata swaps...

You could throw 21lbs in the front pretty easy. A turbo set up/upgrades would cover that for sure. Then you are back to perfect weight distribution.

Seriously dude? Fluctuation of gas in the tank makes more of a difference than 21 pounds. I was arguing against an actual wagon conversion. I don't see anything wrong with that hardtop.

[simmode1]

I love that hardtop too. But I'm just hinting that its probably not the type of thing that the typical Miata purist would go for. 21 pounds at much at all. But a weight increase is a weight increase. And it doesn't really do anything besides change the look and profile of the car.

But it makes the new look soooo sexy, I think its worth the trade off!

[Midwest_240sx]

Well that thing alone costs around 2 grand so it isn't likely that a miata purist would be buying that. But they did make a miata coupe that didn't make it to the us. But I do think I will be buying a miata within the next year so I go for something like that.

[simmode1]

If I got it Miata, it would specifically be for the convertible. The coupe conversion is sexy, but I've wanting a sporty vert or T-top like an MR2 for a while now.
