Arrow Miata's aren't gay. I swear.

Now that I have your attention, this is (well was) the most commonly used term to describe my Miata. I know we've all been through it.

Hello MiataForumz! I'm Anthony and I'm new to the site but not to miatas. I wish I had a sweet build to show off but unfortunately the miata I was working on was put into a wall at the track. I'm lucky nothing serious happened to me but as for the car, it was way too gone.

Before the wreck:


Unfortunately, after the wreck:




Anyways, glad to be here and make use of all the recourses available. Thanks!

Thanks! I would still be driving it if it this didn't happen. I understood the risk though so I'm not mad.

That doesn't look like a track-related ride height or tires and I don't see a rollbar. Therefore I'm guessing you must have been trying to drift. That always happens to drift cars, so I'm not completely surprised. Next time start with a rusted crapcan if you are going to try to drift it. It will be destroyed also but it will be less of a loss. Or use that one now that it is effed up. Most of them look like your after pictures anyway.

You should get a rollbar and go to VIR with NASA Mid-Atlantic region. They are great guys and will teach you how to drive well.
