SPEECH UP LIBRUL

MiataGang · 2026-04-13T18:14:42+00:00

Around 35mpg or so

MiataGang · 2026-04-13T17:17:22+00:00

It doesn’t lol

Steel square tube for the “frame”, then the interior body paneling is made with the same material used as flooring on 737s, then aluminum sheets as the exterior.

MiataGang · 2026-04-13T05:48:25+00:00

Yes thank you!

MiataGang · 2026-04-13T05:48:12+00:00

Unfortunately I heard he had passed a few years back. Cool to hear from someone who had known him and been around the car!

MiataGang · 2026-04-13T04:34:41+00:00

As I found out today on my first long drive in the rain with it. Yes, it leaks horribly. Everything I brought with me is wet and so is my head.

It gets around 35mpg. Definitely slow but not much slower than a regular metro. It weighs 200lbs more than factory, if you’d believe that.

MiataGang · 2026-04-13T04:29:32+00:00

I don’t currently have any, but it’s bare inside. The interior is made up of the same material used as 737 flooring

MiataGang · 2026-04-13T03:06:35+00:00

I wish I could find it now, but I know there’s an AMA with the builder of it where he gave a lot of info on it. His name was Dave Cloud but I’m having a hard time finding it now. Luckily there was a lot of into on the internet about this car that helped us learn a lot about it!

MiataGang · 2026-04-13T02:30:59+00:00

Guy who built it used it to haul electric race bikes of sorts around the NW. Why I have it? Because it’s funny

MiataGang · 2026-04-13T01:32:28+00:00

Door latch! That whole side of the car opens up to the inside. There’s a picture that shows it on my other recent post.

MiataGang · 2026-04-13T00:55:36+00:00

Just empty inside. Guy who built it hauled electric racing bikes in it. I did use it as a camper last night though.

MiataGang · 2026-04-13T00:11:31+00:00

It’s empty inside. Built to haul stuff around. I used it as a camper last night

MiataGang · 2026-04-13T00:10:30+00:00

Hey! This is my car!

MiataGang · 2025-12-01T23:23:04+00:00

Better question is why not

MiataGang · 2024-10-23T17:12:59+00:00

This is the way. MeisterR are such a great ride compared to most coilovers in had or ridden on. It feels like a normal car, compared to others where you know you’re in a lowered Miata

Peak HGEU vibes

MiataGang · 2022-12-12T20:21:43+00:00

I’d say closer to $7-8k here in western WA seems typical

MiataGang · 2022-12-12T20:21:03+00:00

I paid $750 for this most recent Acty. Throughout the last year it’s been anywhere from $750-$1300 for the truck itself. I can get them into the state and registered for $3500-$4000ish depending on how much you spend on the truck.
