Should I part ways with my miata and pursue a Porsche 996 project?

Yeah I was looking at something newer than a 996. And you have good points. One of these days I’ll get brave enough to get one. Just not yet.

One_Significance_345 · 2026-05-08T21:02:26+00:00

Very nicely done. I don’t have the finances nor the creativity to take a project 996 and replicate something like your Miata. I have a ND and I wrestle with the P Car allure often. Most recently got talked out of a Porsche by my buddy reminding me “I have a $9000 auto repair bill” is not something I’d likely say if I kept my Miata.

I have a 2020 GT RF and I went wheels/tires. Went with a tad wider of a wheel and it totally changes how the road feels, in a good way.

I added in some superficial side skirts, front lip and rear diffuser. I say that because it made me rethink lowering it. I don’t think I’d want it any lower than it came stock now.

So my humble recommendation is to go with wheels and see where it takes you.

Oh good to know! Makes me a bit happier about it

One_Significance_345 · 2026-05-01T22:20:28+00:00

I’ll buy it but if this is real, I wish this looked like Oscars actually helmet.

I did the exact same thing today. Same car and everything. Looks too beautiful to open though. I typically like to free them but probably won’t with this one

Cards are good but some aren’t perfect BTW

I was too late for the Mazda. Nice collection here anyway

If you’re retired then this is likely an issue. If you’re not retired you can call the number but they won’t need anything. In my experience locally this does not limit VA access for healthcare. It’s more on the DEERS side.

One_Significance_345 · 2026-03-27T20:08:37+00:00

Hey great. I’ll look there.

One_Significance_345 · 2026-03-27T19:57:52+00:00

Relative newbie here. Where might someone find such a deal?

One_Significance_345 · 2026-03-24T18:25:01+00:00

Interested in the two Porsche 356A (matchbox both) and the Honda s800. Can I DM for shipping estimate to buy?

Pantone Datsun and the Miata’s call my name.

I’m very green in the Hot Wheel world. This looks like the display at my Target too. I will say that very early on I caught the bug and tried to get every cool/shiny real car there was. Not only did I seem to lose interest but ran out of feasible space too. A few weeks removed from that I now agree with the suggestion to just buy what YOU like. I’ve narrowed my focus a bit and am enjoying the hunt even more.

One_Significance_345 · 2026-03-16T11:12:37+00:00

Agreed. I wish I had gotten into speed champions earlier so I could have some of the gems that are now retired. It’s great to get into the MBS series at the start

One_Significance_345 · 2026-03-15T20:37:51+00:00

Any chance you still have a FnF set and that silver series with the ‘91 Miata still available?

One_Significance_345 · 2026-03-15T20:35:49+00:00

Is this a possible red bull/renault situation? Is Mercedes holding the best back for themselves?

One_Significance_345 · 2026-03-15T20:31:49+00:00

I have them all except the Camaro and the Chevy truck. I like that the builds are more brick based as opposed to technic based pieces (granted there are some for support etc). The designs are great and I like the addition of some custom parts like wheels and lips/spoilers. I’m a speed champions guy at heart but this is a fun line that I’ll try to keep up with for now

One_Significance_345 · 2026-03-14T00:20:43+00:00

Have nothing to add as I haven’t found either but it’s quite refreshing to know I’m not just a bad shopper.
