OT - Halloween for your car

[Stephen Baker]

Hi, all.
This site just got passed around a VW group. THe teeth are mostly for Miata's
(Mazda MX5 to you Euros) but some will fit other cars.

Pretty cool. But my car tends to bite me enough WITHOUT all the teeth....
So I have no need.

I don't know about that. There's a shop here in town called "Monster
Miatas" that drops worked Ford v-8 small-blocks into them. Some of them
are reported at well over 400 horsepower... I'd say that's plenty of teeth.

Yeah, I'd say so. but at what cost? I had a buddy shoe horn a 389 in a
pinto in high school. Always begged the obvious question...why?

Didn't they work over a Ford Focus with a similar implant? Or was that someone
else with a good sensayuma? outside of it looked totally stock, unless you
checked out the tires.....

That's the funny thing about monsterized Miatas- they beef up the
springs so the ride height is stock. Wide tires do look a little od,
though.

Heheheh... How do they handle with the extra weight up front?

yeabut it's still a MIATA. The Corvair was thought to be a good idea
too.....Where's NADER when you really need him.

Dave (kick a Miata' tires and it'll end up across the parking lot.

Beefy front springs. Better shocks.

The handling change would still be quite noticable since the the
weight distribution would be drastically changed.

Dave, your love of mulletmobiles is coloring your thinking (and I use
that term VERY loosely) once again.

Miatas are a very competive momentum cars that regularly spank heavier
more powerful cars at the track.

They are also a highly competive spec class all to their own.

Less Dukes of Hazard and more real driving experience might (big "if"
here) make you less prone to posting such tripe.
