Miata = Chick car

Unless you have something more manly as a primary car.

i would do it. miatas may be chick cars, but chicks also think they are cute, so thats good for you. would your average chick drive that particular miata? if she did i would marry her.

I'll disagree with this guy. Although I'm in the process of trying to by my mom a Miata, I've had alot of fun driving them.

I've seen some nasty ones around these parts too. They have potential for sure, and all in all, I think if I had the opportunity to own one for cheap I'd probably jump on it.

But then again, I own two pink 240s...so...I mean...I'm also not worried about comprimising my masculinity. hahaha

^miata = chick car that can kick a 240's @$$. (just factory tuned tho) lol. Its true tho. those miatas are a dime a dozen and your kouki is rare. You cant really have a miata unless you are a girl or an old man.

just my .02

im over the "rare" factor of the kouki, i've had it for a while and i kinda wanted to get back into a s13 coupe with a silvia front end but this came up and i dont plan on doing my serious build for a while so i dont really need the s13 right now

ok so im not too familiar on the actual street values of the miatas too much so anyways i thought i would post up here for some good advice, here are the breakdowns on the cars

this is what the person wrote:

"Powertrain: Jackson Racing full exhaust, Jackson Racing CAI, Jackson Racing hi-flo cat, Jackson Racing Cold Air intake. Timing Advance 15 DegreesSuspension/Brakes: Tokico Illumnia struts/Eibach pro-kit springs; Racing Beat anti roll bars,upper front, lower rear chassis braces; Hard Dog roll bar with padWheels/Tires: Sportmax whatevers, 15x8+0 (very agressive, fitment pokes, but i like it, two diffrent brands of tires, with great tread) also have the stockers Exterior: oem front lip, oem hard top, oem spoilerInterior: momo wood grain knob

the car runs like a champ, no grinds what so ever, 138xxx miles, lsd rear end, brakes hard, clutch feels great, i did respectively in the two auto crosses ive ran. only thing motor wise is there is a valve tick if i let the car sit for a few days, but once i fire it up and get oil running threw it, it goes away immeaditly. I payed 4700 for the car less than a year ago.

paint is not spectacular, its 19 years old, some one scuffed up the front at sometime, not horrible, there is paint flakes gone from the hard top. over all its fine in my opnion, it bothers some, but not really me"

what it looks like now minus the rolled fenders













when he first bought it



240sx this is the ad that is up

"$3,000 without seats$4,000 with seats

interested in nissan, honda, mazda trades

i know its a long shot to find a person with one on here but anyways, i have a black 1997 240sx thats been sitting in my yard for a while under a car cover. it has no motor or transmission, good paint, clean interior, and everything about the car is in a good condition.car is a 5 lug automatic. i just think i might wanna trade it for an FD shell. if you have one let me kow or someone that might wanna do it. i have cash to include ontop for good rx7 shells







"

so at the end of the day im gonna give him my shell with no bride seats, the motor with a spun rod bearing, the auto transmission that came with it and 1k.

p.s. im putting the brides in the miata =)

THOUGHTS ?

seriously, my buddy set up his miata for weekend track warrior. he had 15X8 wheels with toyo ra1 tires on it. i got to drive it & loved every second of it (he wasnt in the car). i rung the s*** out of that car & pushed harder into corners than i ever have in my 240 knowing that the miat had better turn in & i could pull it off. besides, if you had a miata that looked like this, no one would call it a chick car

Keep the kouki and sell me the seats.

Or trade for the Miata and sell me the seats.

Either way I want the seats. Are you trying to get out of the s chassis game?

Miata, badas$... seriously?... It looks like a 5 year's old boy toy. And that picture is like from "finding nemo". Engine, bhp, blah blah blah, who cares? nemo.

How can anyone compare the looks of a kouki to the miata's? What's wrong with the world?

Uggghhh another ignorant fanboy.

How many Silvia emblems do you have on ur 240SX?

Looks are relative you might think the S14a is the most badass looking car on the planet. IMO the OPs S14a vs the Miata the Miata looks better. Again its my opinion, whats wrong with the world you ask?....people have their own opinions.

P.S It looks like a 5 year's old boy toy < does that make sense to you?
