newbie from Mullingar

well folks, as stated im pretty much a newbie to the whole scene. bought my first RWD petrol during the summer and needless to say im hooked.

So i said id join up DI as i spend quite a bit of time researching builds on here as is.

Attended most IDC events with one of my mates who competes and did quite well in round 5, and without knowing it he has more or less convinced my to plunge into the world of a drift build :P so pretty much not 6 months after i bough the little miata, im considering selling it to begin my own build :/

We'll see what happens in the coming months. :)

Anyways, heres the little miata.

(Cant take a photo to save my life)

Also seriously struggling to figure out how to upload photos properly :P

Hey

Welcome along, that is a sweet looking mx-5 you have!

As for posting pictures, do you have a photobucket account? If you don't, get one and you can use the IMG links from there. It's pretty much the standard way to do it.

If you need some more guidance, just ask.

Welcome along. Think I've seen the car at fermoy idc of I'm not mistaken. Cool car!!

thanks dude, ill get on it now. and try get some half decent photos :P

welcome along, nice motor you have there.

Welcome to DI, photobucket is very user friendly. Keep the MX-5 and build one like Danny George :)

Huge fan of that car. Hes not exactly the type of person you'd associate with an mx5 tho :P

i considered that option but im sure Adam O'C on here, would have my head if i did that.

Welcome along! Don't turn your road car into a track car... that would be a bit of a sin. plenty shells and engines out there for a good build... any idea what chassis you're looking at building?

I'm with Larz actually, epic road cars it what the country needs.... And moredoor nissans :)

your mx5 looks pretty clean, I would defo leave it on the road and have fun that way :)
a good missile would be awesome for the track where you don't have to care too much! danny (i assume that's your friend you meant?) will probably agree, no?
:D
welcome along anyway!

Fancy meeting you here shtick!

Welcome along man think I seen this pass through Ballyhaunis one evening?? Savage little mx5

Welcome to the madness - thats a cool 5 - build a car and keep the mazda for the road, sell the jetta t fuck lol

ah dont worry dude, it crossed my mind but its just too clean and different to wrap around a tyre bale :P

i was considering something along the lines of a 328 bmw. as im new to the sport and my basic knowledge, a 328 wouldnt be a bad starter car. Obviously id love something sr, as im a big fan, but it doesnt make sense as i am a complete novice (on a budget) :P

Yea noel that was probably me heading down to skivvy for wally for a few hours :P

cheers man

cheers :)
yea i dont intend on tracking the wee mazda. as larz said, it would be a sin.

ill more than likely sell her before i start a build to free up a few notes. goes without saying it will be a highly reluctant sell.

they may be a hairdressers car but they are a serious car to drive and a bita fun too :P

Ill agree with you on that one dude, seems to be a bit of a drought on the road car scene but, in my case anyways, im fixed on starting my own track build so maybe thats the source of the problem :P

there's a ca18 s13 on donedeal in kerry. he's not looking for mad money and could probably be bargained down a little by the looks of it. I'd love it as a drift car.

Yea i was looking at that one actually. i dont know a whole lot about the ca engine. asked around and heard there not up to a whole lot. But again i dont really know. what do you think??

Welcome to di ! Sweet mx5 ya got yourself there, best of luck with it! Bought my first rear wheeler only few months ago meself, hooked is not a word haha Any how happy posting :)

Unfortunately bad news on the mazda front.

Heading back to work in Longford last night and as i was heading around the roundabout, a jeep came from one of the exits and hit me an awful thump on my passenger side, taking the quarter panel, the door, the skirts, front bumper and damaging the two work meisters on the front and back...

After sending pics to a panel beater whos a mate of mine, his diagnosis is that car is written off.

a bad day to say the least
:(

Sorry to hear that man. Life sucks sometimes but bounce back with better I say.

Thanks Eoin. yea its just bad luck i suppose, has to land on someone. Ah ill conjure up something, im never satisfied untill i have the car i want :P

Welcome to DI! Bad luck with the accident man but i'm sure something better will come out of it. :)

Shit news man. Iv seen the car about town. Hopefully you get paid out enough to replace it

Yea its only kinda sinking in now how sickening it is. Going through all the nitty gritty insurance shite at the min but as soon as thats sorted im on the hunt for a track bound s-body. You might have something tucked up in that shed of urs jimmy ;)
