....the people that own them...and the fear of a bad tank of gas.
John

 

it does not run it just sits there.

 

Thats it's spent more time in the garage the whole time that I've had it then it has on the road.

 

The only thing I would change is the transmission, ya I would like a good auto, like a 4L60E, a 4 speed O/D unit. I am working with a friend who is a auto trans guy about setting one up. I know most love the stick but a well set up auto is just as nice. The 4L60E is electrically shifted and can be set up as straight auto or like F1, a switch on the steering wheel. Thats the only thing I would change. My FD only has 60k on the body and 8k on the engine so its not bad a all to drive.

 

the fact that you just can't get a new one and not having dave from kd out here in colorado...other than that...nothing : )

answers to some other issues:

cupholder - solved, a number of years ago someone (i forget at this point) developed and sold a very good cupholder that folds out, sits next to the e-brake, originally from a mercedes

bose sytsem - yes it is old...get an ipod and hook it in!

The suspension is so stiff that my wife doesn't like to ride with me....

But on the other hand, the suspension is so stiff, my wife does't like to ride with me.

 

The POS panels that start to rattle, misc screws that mysteriously appear, and plastic rubber one-way tacks meant to hold the POS panels in place for about 30 sec TOPS. I also have to admit I have the endless fear of "is today the day that my engine will blow."

Still a small price to pay for such an incredible car IMO.

 

rear hatch rattle & the fact that i don't get ot drive it every day

 

I hear ya.

I dislike the fear of blowing the motor. Bad gauges.

 

That tight feeling in my stomach when I am about to turn the ignition after not having driven it in a week or more - will everything be ok or will I need $3k for a rebuild?. Of course it does not help that I did this once:

I hate the fact that FD is the most over engineered, badly built, expensive piece of junk to ever come out of japan. But this is also why I like it.

 

I love this car. fixed and upgraded most of the stuff that you guys were bitchin about. addressed a few personal issues I had with the car and we have come to an understanding. a bonus for me is that the car is just like brand new with very low mileage and Im the 2nd owner.
WHAT I HATE ARE WET ROADS AND I LIVE IN THE SEATTLE AREA!
otherwise everything is kool.

355 days of ownership, 349 days of a blown engine, and 5k invested SO FAR in the rebuild.
and i'm sure i'm not the only one.

what i can't understand is how i still LOVE these cars!

 

welcome to my world

 

that i dont have one yet

 

The spouse complaining about how much money and time I spend with the car
and
the car handles like crap....in the snow

Crispy

 

The fact that replacing a motor is a very common thing.
That will be the thing that eventually wears me out.
You can do everything right, and still get F'd.

 

after driving all night last night, that damn stupid gear oil smell that comes from the tranny inside the cabin..and it was pretty cool outside..i cant wait when summer comes

 

various squeaks and rattles in the interior when im driving

 

The "Hey, nice Miata!" compliments.

 

You can hear it coming 2 blocks away. And people in other cars are always staring like they are waiting for you to drag race someone. Damn fast and furious did this...Damn that movie!

 

Anyone else notice the star tail lights?

 

^----- LOL!!

I hate not having any traction!
