Figured I would share this canibeat feature since I enjoyed reading through it

It says "Built to perform" however I don't believe stretched tires would have performed as well as a non stretched tire, but I'm not going to take anything away from this guys take on a Miata build

lol @ calling an incapable car able to perform. And lol @ RARE BRG Miata! So much fun, thanks!

 

That is what I was wondering, I didn't wanna say it wasn't able to perform but I'm very sure that this wouldn't be able to corner very well at speeds if at all.

 

major money pit right there.. legit parts up the ***.

 

I just want his wheel, I was in the process of tracking down a used Nardi wood grain for my 240 before I had to sell, they look damn good, maybe not the best or comphy wheel out there but it deffinitly makes up for that with class.

 

It is also a bit amusing that after finding this "rare" car he drilled holes all over the body and put sheet metal screws through it. Fun stuff, lol.

 

This is true, I don't see the use of looking for so long to find the rare car or color and then do body work

 

Yea that looks like ***... Maybe if he put a proper wheel/tire combo I would like it. Get this slammed stanced crap out of here. I bet it handles terribly.

 

I don't like stanced cars either, I figured I would just share, there are a few things that are nice about this car, his interior looks pretty clean, sure not the best interior race wise but for a DD interior looks pretty good. speaking of wheel/tires what is a good offset for a rim on a NA, I'm looking at rpf1's for when I get NA, and if anyone has any personal exp. or insight on that rim just let me know.

 

Don't get me wrong. I like some cars that are well done... But I absolutely hate the extreme stretched tire look. It's ok if it's like a 205 on a 7.5" wheel. But the guy's that are like wrapping 8" wheels with 195 rubber are dumb. The interior on the car and engine bay etc all look fantastic though.


I don't understand how this is "built to perform" when obviously it looks like it could barely handle driving in a strait line.
