"to each his own," then you post the most generic drifting video i've ever seen where there's 20 of the same exact beat to ---- car doing the same exact thing i've seen from stupid kids for the last few years.
That's like dressing in black, calling youself goth and saying you dont conform...but here you are doing exactly the same thing as your other goth friends.
not everyone has the time and energy to be retarded.

Not to say I don't like drifting etc... Cause I do. But I like meeting other miata enthusiasts and having conversations about car specs and track times etc. Without being the first sentence out of their mouth, awe well I just welded the dif and slammed it so I can drift.

I got the craziest call today.... guy wants the trans and both subframes with suspension to graft it under his.....
wait for it......
SAAB 99 body! He has a bridge ported 12a rotary to put in it. He only wants to spend $500 and wont need the body ect. I am going to keep the trunk lid, front and rear bumpers, doors with power windows, console, radio bezel, hood, headlights, and other various bits. He just needs a running driving platform until he swaps the engines. If he shows up at the house as promised with the deposit, I start stripping the car.

I second this. I drive a beat, POS daily Miata that's rattle can white. I never thought I'd appreciate this, but its liberating to park next to people, know you're getting a door ding, and genuinely not care. Sure, it will soon have ASTs, 6-speed, 3.63, MS2, and a VVT swap, but no one will ever know and I can drive through another hail storm and not care.

I got a buyer for the car today. He wants the drivetrain and suspension to slide it under his Saab 99. Best thing is I get to strip the good body panels and interior. As long as the car runs and drives he is good. I have to remove the rugs and passenger door in the morning and then it's gone.
Thanks for the replies.
