Got my car stolen @ work about a month ago
(1996 honda accord v6 auto :( with a dancerecords.com sticker on the back... if ya see it piss on it or **** it up (look for black and read accord and v6 logo i painted them by hand:screwy:)
BUT now i found a little gem I LOVE reguardless if its a chick car or not.
1993 mazda miata mx-5 w/ 90,000M. !!YAY RWD!!
So basically i wanna get into drifting and i need someone to show me a few roaps and help me work on my car.
Ive seen a couple miata's around town and id like to find a good place to buy parts and practice.
ive got a garage i can use too with OIL bay and all i just need a person who knows mazdas to guide me in the rite direction.:bump: (misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=3#)

i actually just bought a 1990 miata today. i know a good bit about these cars from hanging out with SM drivers at road races and whatnot...
i can also show you a few basic ropes, but im in no way any kind of expert.

is yours stock? what city are you in?

[TS240]

Welcome, I guess.

[Annik5k]

1st off i appreciate the quick response man
i live in Duluth. RITE off 120 to be dead on.
the car needs a new clutch (NOT BAD THO) but im saving for a performance dont wanna waste $$ to turn around and upgrade.
im currently BONE STOCK. not counting i think the muffler has probably been replaced but in no way is performance.
if you know of a local track or course or W/E.
(clean driving record dont wanna scuff it untill its worth it)
+ if im down with you if your not a B.S.er ill even talk to my guy about letting ya use his nice PRIVATE OPEN garage to work on your car/cars/Whatever thats a PLUS most noobs cant offer.

noooo problemmm
my mom lives in duluth... so im pretty familiar with the area. my cars clutch is brand new, but its just a generic brand clutch. next one will be a mazdaspeed. mines stock too for now.

as far as racing, i try to keep most of mine off the street. theres a HUGE local scca autocross following around here, ill be competing at a few events next season. theres also whats called a performance driving experience (PDX) at every regional road race at road atlanta, it cost 50 bucks i think and its 2 20 minute sessions of track time. they provide instructors and everything.

and ive got a shop with a lift and stuff, just not an amazing tool set. so if it dont work out with your guy, we could always use mine.

we should meet up sometime man.

[Annik5k]

fuXX right.
ill PM U my # text me its the best and almost ONLY way to get in touch with me.
u free friday?
i get paid friday and im off work.
so i for sure can meet up and you can teach mea thing or 2.

[Thighs]

well... as for friday, im free after 5 i think... maybe 6.
i got unlimited text and you got a pm too, so hit me up whenever.

Rspeed in Marietta is a great place for parts/advice also. They sponsor Jonathan Martin in a 1995 supercharged Miata that did fairly well in the NOPI Drift series. He lives in the Duluth area.
clubroadster.net is a good place.
dgtrials.com holds some local events, and there are a few other orgs that have local drifting also.

This sunday is a gymkanah even in Nashville. I will be taking my Miata up there to give it a try... its a cross between autocross and drifting.

[Annik5k]

dope man i appreciate it.

[Thighs]

gymkhana kinda sucks. imagine an mini autocross in 1st gear....

[0DISPLACMENT]

id do a gymkhana if i had a torsen lsd, but i have a SHOT vlsd. it sucks.

and youre right about fags drifting miatas. they SUCK for it. drifting one is a waste of tires/quick car.

[driftyboy]
