Hi mate, I m still here, bored of the Miata, but given the financial situation I m aint getting no 86 again.

Sometime, I miss it, but not that much.

If I could have two or three cars, I d get one.

Wisi-kun, how good to hear from you! Yeah the economy doesnt seem to be picking up.. but looks like your blog is doing fine no? It isnt flowery here either, but were doing our best in reinventing stuff.. every crisis is an opportunity Big Grin

Im currently comuting in a Citroen AX, 60 beast power! A genious of a car, but lately im having the racing butterflies.. watching best motoring episodes doesnt help much either and other cars are nice but not 86..

I had a Saxo in the past.

One day, I thought of selling the Miata and buy a buy a 106 Rallye to save some cash.

Then one night I test drove a 207 GT and remembered how bad those peugeot gearboxes are...

So I kept the Miata Tongue

My blog aint going fine, too many visitors yes, but people has no money to buy stuff nowadays. Most importantly I have a job now (on greek national TV) so I dont want either have time to deal with the blog.

Its not that finances are bad here, its that we constantly live in fear and always have that sense that something is roten, if you get what I mean...

My facebook status yesterday
"When I get sad, I stop being sad and drive my awesome AE86 instead. True story."

Cool

Nice to see you back Apolan! I joined the gay's camp like wisi, but still have to master this litte hairdressers rocket on track before I get bored. They are a lot like AE86 in the way you can toss them around. The AE86 is getting some steroids...If we can ever get an MOT station to approve of it.

Here in the good old US of A... MY 86 is gone, but my 83 AE71 is just an AE86 in better clothes Huh

:wink:
Although not worried - not sure WHY I'm not worried - things have been tough here too. The wife sold her IS300 (Gita) and she now drives a near pristine AE86 because it is MUCH less costly then the IS300 was to operate.

There is some exciting news on the edge of realization... an Irish company, LEEN, is just about finished with development of their adapter to mate the J160 (Toyota's AZ6) to a 4A bell housing Thumbs up!

Welcome back! Thumbs up!

I can recommend you first hand getting a kid or two to keep you away from the AE86. > Smile

Very interesting - just ran the figures through a gear calculator and the 6-speed would be lovely along with the oem 4.3 final. Almost like a quaife/trd cose ratio box but with an additional low first gear for queing and traffic jams Smile
