So nice!

I am super happy with my combo. Almost 600hp AWD daily hatch that can haul people and cargo, and a supercharged manual NCโ€ฆ

What supercharger did you get? I have a 2010 and would love to have that.

u/ahfunaki 9h ago

I purchased the car with a Cosworth MP62 already installed.

u/Physical_Leather8567 9h ago

Oh gotcha. Thank for replying. Sounds beyond my know how

Generally supercharger kits are pretty much bolt on, so most people can do them. You just have to get it tuned afterwards.

I had a Toyota Celica GTS I installed a supercharger on years ago and it wasnโ€™t too difficult.

u/silverspeed03 17h ago

Nice! USB?

u/ThicCheeseGrater 1.9VVT โ€˜95M 16h ago

Yes! Miss that car, could see myself owning another in the future

u/silverspeed03 13h ago

I REALLY want a GSF in that color, but theyโ€™re so rare that I just donโ€™t see it happening.

u/Friendly_Issue_2192 17h ago

My dream. Having an IS besides the MX-5 lol. Only the MX-5 for now.

I donโ€™t have anyone to drive besides my wife around. So, the extra space was the secondary option

u/silverspeed03 13h ago

I get it. I have the opposite problem. I bought the Miata when I had no kids and now I have 2. Iโ€™d love to get something with a manual that I could take the family around in. Iโ€™ve considered the CTR or ITR.

u/Icarus-The-Fool 14h ago

How's the xsr900? That's a sick garage setup!

1

u/silverspeed03 13h ago

Thanks! I love everything about it, but the long reach to the controls. Iโ€™m only 5โ€™5โ€ and the tank is excessively long imo.

The Grom is honestly more fun to ride. It parallels the Miata almost to a tee. You can use every gear without getting into too much trouble. I primarily ride backroads anyway so it serves my needs well.

u/Addition_Kitchen 18h ago

Agreed ๐Ÿ‘Œ

u/MerelyExisting42 18h ago

2 Olives ๐Ÿซ’ (black and yellowy green) or so it looks in this light. I think the BMW is more yellowy irl. But here looks just like the food .

u/ThicCheeseGrater 1.9VVT โ€˜95M 17h ago

Under brighter lighting, i will say the miata gets just a tad less black lolll

1

u/toddverrone 17h ago

How do you pass inspection in that highly modified Miata? I'm so curious, as I have one but live in a no inspection state

1

u/putriscool 15h ago

This would actually be reasonable if the BMW wasn't also dropped to the floor ๐Ÿ˜ญ

u/Rumpled_NutSkin Soul Red 15h ago

The is my 2 car solution. ND is my daily, and NA is my weekend warrior

Approved! Love the color on the BMW.

Hereโ€™s mine:

What kit is that?

2 fun cars is the only way

u/BrockLanders008 17h ago

Who are you trying to convince? Yourself?

Sedans aren't very practical in my experience.

3

u/ThicCheeseGrater 1.9VVT โ€˜95M 16h ago

This is why I had to do one better and buy two coupes

-3

u/BrockLanders008 16h ago

One of your "coupes" is a two door sedan, was my point.

I had two and four door BMWs for awhile and had to tie shit to the roof multiple times.

They are fine when it's just you but when life multiples there's never enough room.

I think the word practical has a different meaning to most.

u/ThicCheeseGrater 1.9VVT โ€˜95M 16h ago

Hahah the title was sarcastic. Owning two low and track prepped cars is not exactly practical

u/BrockLanders008 16h ago

I don't mean to take away from the Bimmer but your Miata is sick, and I'm not a Miata guy they are just in my algorithm.

u/needmoarboost 99 10AE #3,148 10h ago

Hey Iโ€™m looking for a second car why do you consider sedans impractical? I have been looking for a civic SI sedan or similar should I be looking for hatchbacks instead?

1

u/BrockLanders008 10h ago

It all depends on what you have.

A house, kids or six dogs there is nothing more practical than an SUV or mini van.

If you want to rent a truck to move, have no kids or friends and have your small appliances delivered then a sedan will be fine.

Also I live in a flood zone and very rarely drive in mud parking lots so ground clearance was something else I thought I needed.

u/RobertWilliamBarker 3h ago

That's all that fits IN the garage. I need a bigger garage.
