This is my first build thread on here, and my first car. I have been a long time lurker; checkin' build threads, picture threads and wheels threads.
In the past, I considered many different options for my first car, namely those that were of the rwd and naturally aspirated criteria.
Was tossing up between s13's, na r34's, mr2's, and non-rwd cars such as impreza's and dem civics.
After getting my p's; one thing my mates and I always liked was "spirited driving,"
However I was using my dad's '10 fd civic.
Unfortunately for me, on my first mountain run. I totalled my dad's car. Fortunately I wasn't burnt at the stake and turned into dim_sims. Instead I concentrated on getting a 2nd job to help fun my OWN car and going on even more mountain runs.
I looked long and hard; my search was narrowed down to two cars; the SW20 MR2 and the NA miata. DAT throw-around-ability and rwd'ness.

I got my second job and after I had accumulated nearly over 9,000 years of searching on carsales I eventually found a good looking mx5 in the western suburbs owned by an elderly couple.
Gave the good ol' guy a call, no response, left a message. Heart broken and poor.
However I received a call back while I was working le groin muscles.
I set up an appointment and sooner than I knew it, left a deposit and BAMMM.
Positives:
- low kms
- elderly couple owners, highly doubtful that they hooned like tokyo drift
- free hard-top
- free set of rims
- somewhat low price (?)
Downsides (fml moments)
- the elderly couple owned a dog, shed hair like no tomorrow
- faded panels
- stank like someone or something took two dumps in my car..daily..
- ripped gear boot
- low to no a/c coming out
- hail dmg
And from then on I had a faithful lady, named Misa, who'd I be able to ride HER stick, all day erry day.
The moment I had some spare time, I called a mate over who was very mechanically minded to help me take out me seats and clean my bitch out!
NOTE: She was so dirty, I wouldn't sit on the seats unless there were plastic bags on them FIRST!
