You're also 13, so your opinion doesn't matter, especially one as superficially ignorant as that.
I joke, but seriously, to say that you would keep a Corolla vise keeping a Miata is simply based on Initial D and Kechii Tsuchiya, there's no phathomable reason why one would want to keep a 22 year old Corolla rather than it simply being in better condition than a Miata, either way, it's not a smarter choice. . .
Do me a favor, research something called vehicular dynamics then research the suspension geometry of the Corolla vise that of the Miata . . .lets also look at longevity reports, performance statistics and quite frankly the fact that the Miata is a superior car to the Hachi Roku in almost every way.
That's not opinion . . . that's fact . . .

selling the corolla was a great idea. it looks like dog ****, and that's not even taking into account the mid eighties suspension design. i'll never understand why people modify those things. a 240 is mid eighties as well but at least it has a 5 point rear suspension.
And for him to throw a turbo on it-it's going to be so much fun.

You guys are crazy! LOL!
It actually took a little while for me to decide on going boost, at first I was going to build the hell out of it for a high compression, high revving engine, but I compared the costs of boost vise that of building high-revolution N/A . . .boost is the only way to go...

Now Those Miatas are PURE FRACKIN SEX!!!!!
Me likies ^_^
So, you're going to participate in the time trial as well? This event is sanctioned by the SCCA or is this an off shoot? I'm confused, you say time attack, but then you also say SOLO, those are two seperate events . . .LOL! I'm reading at first, then I'm like, wait wait wait . . .no . . .HAHAHAHA!
So are you doing an autocross or are you competing on a full track, if it's a full track, it's not SOLO, if you're running an autocross it's not a Time Attack. I'm just a tad confused, just the wording you used.
Also, you do realize that if it's an SCCA event and it's an actual full-track Time Trial that you MUST possess a Competition Time Trial license endorsed by the SCCA before you're allowed to compete. Your car must also meet Time Trial specifications which include
Roll Cage
Halon Fire Suppression (2-Nozzle Minimum)
Saftey Cut Off Switch clearly marked with a certified fireproof hazard marker.
Now if you're just talking autocross, then yeah, you're good . . .^_^

The only thing that ever kept me from a Miata is the fact that I feel like I'm in a powerwheels toy car. If it wasn't for the that fact, I'd be all over one. Car is badass stig, where the hell are some new pics?
You should get a hardtop for it!! sex
