I finally got one. A SA22C
 
Here's some pics at the original owners house.

I'll post some more once I get a chance to clean it up. The engine fells very strong. All it really needs is some new paint since it's been left outside. But the underbody looks almost mint. The odometer say 27XXX (the SA odometer only shows 5 digits). We thought the true milage was 127,XXX but with the condition of the under body and wheel wells leads my friend and I to believe it really only has 27,XXX. But the only thing I plan to do to it is a -SE suspension swap but I'm not gonna touch anything else.

It looks really clean, keep it as original as possible.

Very nice 1980 you got there (rear bumper gives it away); welcome to the first-first gen club!

80's old school 07-14-10 10:09 AM

Congrads and I hope the 1st thing you do is un-ass those wheels covers!!!

jshiz 07-14-10 12:11 PM

Don't like the Moon eyes? lol. They give the car character. j/k Yeah, I'm ditching those asap.

The paint is all original. The clear coat is pealing from sitting in the sun. The dash is cracked as well. but there's a a couple in the junk yard that i'm pulling later.

Banzai 07-14-10 12:14 PM

Congrats and enjoy the ride!

glad to see you got it home..now about those wheel covers and that single tip muffler....

BlackWorksInc 07-21-10 02:28 PM

Why do you have pie tins on your wheels? ... Pie tins are for Pie... not cars! Silly Forum member :P

DivinDriver 07-21-10 03:19 PM

Mmmmm.... pie.

jshiz 07-21-10 03:31 PM

The pie tins are for mad tyte aerodynamics. They look quite hilarious in person.

DivinDriver 07-21-10 04:16 PM

What's under them? Steelies, or alloys?

jshiz 07-21-10 04:26 PM

Steelies. Has Mazda center caps on them as well.

13x 07-21-10 04:31 PM

those pizza pie trays!!

j9fd3s 07-21-10 04:46 PM

i really like that car, silver SA, no sunroof = win

jshiz 07-21-10 05:08 PM

^That's the only reason I bought the car. Now I'm fighting the temptation to start modding it since I know my GSL-SE won't ever be as light as my SA an still be street-able.

Wow. I haven't been here in a long while.... since high school. May as well update this. Got the car drivable and sold it. Now I've got into miatas...


I currently have a Rotrex'd powered 02 Mazda Miata with too much money in the suspension.

I've started cleaning up the engine bay since this pic...

Here's how it looked before I started dumping money into it.

I like these wheels, what brand and specs are they?

jshiz 06-21-14 07:27 PM

Advan SA3R aka Super Advans. 4x100 16x7 +35 I just sold them last month. I needed to fit more meat under my car.

DivinDriver 06-21-14 11:14 PM

OK, welcome back... you're banished.

NCross 06-22-14 11:45 AM

That car needs a side draft powered 13b.

jshiz 06-22-14 12:09 PM

Nah. The car is fine. If I swap anything in the miata it's going to be an LS1. But I have an itching to get back in the 7's so I'm back here to lurk around.

Qingdao 06-23-14 06:37 PM

You tempt me with local steel wheels and then I see the post date. GRRR :P


Do you still have them? :D

Pretty miata. Not a fan of bazooka exhaust, but she is a beaut. Pretty serious under the hood!

Double banished. Banished so hard you bounced! :lol:

MazdaMike02 06-26-14 01:16 PM

Eww at the cross breeeding swap. But damn the car looks good. A Miata would be stupid with a turbo rota swap. I want to do one sometime.

jshiz 06-26-14 08:41 PM

lol. Some things never change. The wheels are somewhere in florida iirc. And there are a few miatas around here (VA) running around with 13bre's and 13bts. If I got my hands on a clapped out NA miata, I'd be tempted to do the swap. But I'm gonna wait to see what mazda plans to do with the rotary.

Everyone has their own style. I like to let people think It's just another rice burner tuner... then I open it up. Embarrassed a newer mustang GT earlier today thinking I would be easy prey.

Maybe. I sold the car a few months ago.
