I was looking into adding on to my two car just for storage. I guess I don't really need to now.

Nope you have 2 go-carts and a fox body. Generally all those fit in a 2 car.














FYI I drove a Miata for a short time and it was an absolute BLAST

Yes they are go carts. The middle one my girls and is supercharged and the black one is a R code.

The R package was a $1500 option package and not a special model
Equipment: Sport Suspension (Bilstein shocks, heavy-duty rear springs, heavier sway bars), rear spoiler, front air dam, rear skirt, alloy wheels, Torsen limited slip differential. The only option was air conditioning and only 465 were made in 1995.

The supercharged one is a 94 M edition with a jackson racing m45 supercharger. It also has all kinds of stuff done to it, too long to list. And it only has like 40k miles on it.

I read in a mag a while back where they stuffed a 5.0 in one and a supercharger 5.0 in another. Like a modern day Sunbeam Tiger. They are fun to drive, too bad they were designed to fit Japanese guys and and Americans under 5'10".

I remember reading about the 5.0 swap as well. Sounded like a modern day cobra.

I have never had a back ache like I did after installing an alarm in a friends mothers miata. I could not lay on the floor and put my hands over my head like I did on every other car as there was no space. I had to have my cutters and connectors ready to go and slide in with my arms over my head to make each connection or to test each wire.

R code, is that the STO version? I saw a hard top convertable yesterday that caught my eye as sharp. Never seen one before but it looked cool.

friend has a miata back home and i'd post videos of it but they are street racing videos. Anyway car is a monster. I have a video of it taking a sts turbo corvette with meth injection making over 650 to the tire and on his old set up have seen him smoke a whippled cobra. Car is 4 cylinder turbo.

As for the supercharger, it is an aftermarket one. It is based on an eaton 45ci. It makes it a lot more fun. As for being for short guys, it would help if you were under 6ft tall. I am 6'3 and am still comfortable in it. They are mostly for my girlfriend to play with.

Yeah, I'm 6'3 and my knees were up in the dash both times I have driven one. Come to think of it, the new 350Z vert fits me the same way.

I dated a guy who had the same exact problem. He ended up needing to sell the car. He was sick to his stomach about it too.
