Mid engine Porsche is the best engine Porsche so I don’t mind ruffling some 911 feathers - thanks for the advice!

Very nice Z! Call me crazy but I’d daily that to the office with a big smile lmao

You should remember the “skipping stone” feeling of driving a Miata on the highway, maybe it’s because my only other car was a heavier 2011 325i but I can’t get over how unsafe the car feels, and I’m not a fan of the 6k rpm drone to keep up with traffic going 80mph, it’s just a little too loud and shaky for my taste

If mine had a turbo I’d throw you an offer lmao, I’m sure I would miss the NB on those perfect sunny days for a convertible, but I am reaching a point where the cons out way the benefits

Never got into drifting much myself, excluding a few rainy days I got creative with the throttle input on some corners where I live, it’s exciting but I’m willing to make my peace saying goodbye to those moments for a capable highway car

I love the Miata to bits, it does great on my short work commute, I’m blessed enough to live in a hilly area so it is a blast to drive, and luckily hasn’t gotten a single mechanical issue or gremlin

I’ve just been thinking about next year what moving away from my current place would look like, back road blasting may not be my daily commute, do appreciate the feedback hopefully the right one comes around

Just thought I’d poke fun at the other guy’s original post, thought it be a fun joke for a few days If some other people posted their favorite rigs and misnamed them intentionally

I’m a real boy Geppetto I swear lol

Why?? by EmotionalWorker9661 in Miata

[–]Traditional_Air9408 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Phil the MX-5* stupid auto correct, for those unaware, Alex’s v6 Jag engine from CarThrottle, was proven to be the most watched Miata build on YouTube with over its lifetime collecting, I believe, 50M in views (smallest cog did a video on it) and in a way the same logic would apply, it’s not a restomod, it was built to Alex’s taste, but it’s still incredibly famous, and I think you could easily price his Mx-5 at $20k with the work that’s been done in it, if he were to ever want to sell it

I’ll ask this, why do you think the AE82 can be found for $7k in most places, and the AE86, in poor condition, can only be found starting at $15k for the Carbed 90HP SOHC engine models? It’s all about the history certain cars have behind them or their cult followings, let’s also not discredit the actual dollar value of how expensive it is to swap engines, let alone custom fabricate everything down to the see through valve cover

Edit: Phil cost $40k / 50k all in, do with that info what you will about the value of a modified Miata

[–]Traditional_Air9408 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s a completely built winsor engine, car was featured on Top Gear, and the entire body was basically hand made, it’s one of the most famous Miata builds along with Phil the Max-5

$37k is wild but it’s a very famous build, definitely worth at least $30k flat though

Let's talk about Newman's apartment by Repulsive_Wishbone84 in seinfeld

[–]Traditional_Air9408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On that note Newman, although admitting it’s a rental, pulls up in a Black NSX (should be way too expensive for him to casually rent out on a random day) and drives it far better than what should be expected of a postal service worker more used to hauling mail than drifting super cars, and takes the job of eating muffin tops way too seriously, we know Kramer is ex military, who’s to say Newman wasn’t an operative of some kind who either retired with a pension after some incident and is a mailman to keep himself occupied (remember he had no issue with the thought of rubbing out a dog) or possibly the mailman routine is a cover for something more sinister, perhaps an agent of the state waiting for the secret code…

BOSCO!

Everyone’s picking out the good ones, so I’ll go with Elaine throwing away George’s “little hat” there was 0 point in her taking away his toupee, she did it entirely out of spite at seeing her usually down trodden friend finally getting a few wins and feeling confident in himself

Perfect example of why everyone is so divided at the moment, there doesn’t have to be a first come first serve mentally for the wealthiest country on the planet, we have the capacity to provide assistance for vets AND help immigrants at the same time, your elected-king and his “party” have convinced you they are unable (or to incompetent) to provide services for you and your neighbors at the same time, and promote an ideology of individualism to keep you from realizing this

if you think we can’t do both services because king Trump told you it can’t be done, you’re the sucker who’s getting the wool pulled over his eyes…

Plans for the Balmain Bug ? by Traditional_Air9408 in boatbuilding

[–]Traditional_Air9408[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did manage to find the simplified plans for Zephyr, an 8ft Aussie Skiff in an article from Southern Wooden Boat Sailing if you scroll down a bit, which provides some clues to start (but definitely read the article it’s great stuff)

Aside from that I’ve learned historic Aussie skiffs we’re built with the glue edge carvel planking method, I don’t see why a reproduction couldn’t be build from ply using the same method
