My Miatas......

DropTopDrifter · 02-16-2005, 04:50 PM

Some of you peeps might remember my white Miata with the red rims...

Well.. i had a little accident (rolled 3 times) awhile ago... i have been keeping kinda low profile.. heres whats left of the car, go to www.cardomain.com/id/droptopdrifter for the story and more pics...

And here is my new baby..... as seen on www.cardomain.com/id/emeraldsport

Crabapple · 02-16-2005, 05:12 PM

Well if it helps your first Miata was nice lol...Your newer MX-5 is nice aswell. I've always had a thing for Mazdas(FC RX-7s & Miatas)

Jeff Abbott · 02-16-2005, 05:27 PM

Drop,
The Wizdom front is dope. Thats what it is right?
Jump on miata.net and give your .02 to a guy asking about a drift set up in the street driving autoX forum. I gave my 2 pennies. I am glad you are in the m2 now. It looks great. Now to see some pics with the tires lit up

I've told so many people how to set-up a car.. but ya know.. its really the drive that needs to jsut do it reguardless.... thats what i did... i had 115rwhp when i won US Drift and was at NOPI.... its all driver... power and set-up com later...buahaha

Jeff Abbott · 02-16-2005, 05:42 PM

Drop,
No sh*t. That is sweet. I have a Garage vary Lip from Rspeed

The pic is up on roadster drift under the DD22 thread.
I cant wait to be good enough to participate in a competition. That will be awesome. We will see. Still need more practice...

frictionfighter · 02-16-2005, 07:03 PM

sucks about the accident, glad to see you are sticking with the miatas. but arent you gonna miss your pop up lights now that you have an NB?

DriftingNewbie · 02-16-2005, 11:48 PM

OMG man, Im sorry to hear that. Ur miata was amazing, and i have lots of videos of u drifting in that. Sucks to see a nice car die like that, but alteast it was while u where drifting.

A_R_T_Overloard · 02-17-2005, 01:22 AM

now i know why god created man who created the roll cage.
and now i know why i will want one if i ever drift. (or when i do autoX)

at least you can still use the rims/tires, those are cool.

good luck with the new miata.

Jeff Abbott · 02-17-2005, 09:19 AM

Driftingnewbie,
If I read his cardomain site correctly, I think he crashed on the road. he hit a wall or something and flipped over. I think he was reaching for his cell phone. it fell onto the floor or something.
A HORRIBLE story. A sh*tty lesson . Glad to see he is OK and had that roll bar....
-Jeff

-Correct me if my story was inaccurate...

DRIFTER-M · 02-17-2005, 05:53 PM

hey did you ever un in any florida events, DGtrials stuff maybe. Or maybe I have seen you in atlanta. But I have seen your old miata before, it was a beauty. Your new one is clean too. Good luck with it. And sorry about the old one

NismoSigma · 02-17-2005, 07:11 PM

Wow, srry to hear about your car and your incident. But just remeber that you gotta thank the rollcage! Whoever welded that you should thank cause it couldve been alot worse! Nice new car though! Always keep eyes on road!

SpeedWise · 02-17-2005, 08:07 PM

craziazzmofo66 · 02-19-2005, 10:43 AM

dude.....that F-in sucks i know how it feels, when u think about ur own accident and just the shock of how the hell it got upside down is kinda painfull.....when i turned my suby i actually had nightmares about for awhile....and i was also fortunate enough as well to walk out of it without a scratch....well....A scratch....but thats it.....i thank my seat belt, and the the engineers at subaru for designin a car that can with stand a bit of a tumble.....

zdss14 · 02-19-2005, 11:53 AM

wow that sucks are you o.k.? haha i see you already put a roll cage in your second on good luck on it

this should quiet some of the posters in the thread about cages and harnesses on the road, just install them correctly!

AuspeX · 02-19-2005, 10:16 PM

The new one is pretty nice, but an NB? I like the looks of the NA much better, also it's lighter, no? Anywho, nice new car! ^_^

MSMSky · 02-20-2005, 02:01 AM

I was SHOCKED when I went to your web page and found out you crashed your NA...sorry it happened. I am also SHOCKED that you got yourself a very nice NB....hopefully for drifting also??

ever since I saw your videos drifting your NA ...I know its possible to drift a NB..all about the driver right? I am glad you got the NB....because I got one too!

I never really drifted before and this is my first RWD car.. I am already looking forward to drift sessions here in Calgary, Alberta Canada this summer...drifting only kinda just started here last year!!

This is my first post....and a poor pic of my car...

toplesstuner · 02-20-2005, 12:41 PM

roll bars are the teh! shizznit huh!! glad to see your alive after rolling one ive always wondered how well those cars to bottom side up, i guess not to bad.

congrats on your NB!! keep us posted but it kinda sucks i guess that you gotta start over w/ mods and all.

DropTopDrifter · 02-21-2005, 09:29 PM

Thanks guys, yeah the rollbar saved my *Censored**Censored**Censored*.. and im very glad i had it. I will be getting a similar bar for my new car too.

I really like the NB more as a car....its not as much of a race car as my white one was... but i'll have the NB up to spec soon

Right now the NB has a 4:30 rear gear.. and its a open diff.... i have the 4:10 Torsen LSD from my old car waiting to go it... i was going to trade it for a 3.90:1 Torsen.. but theres an event coming up son and i really need to have my LSD by then.. so i might have to stick ole' trusty in there.

Tuner · 02-22-2005, 08:33 AM

DropTopDrifter · 02-22-2005, 01:33 PM
