I'm in desperate need of a weekend toy. I can go in two directions:
1- Obnoxious Jeep TJ with 4.0L i6 and manual transmission, to be kept bone-stock. Yellow or some equally offensive color.
2- Little Miata, Probably NA generation and kept bone-stock. MT of course.
Other possible option: 350z or V8 Mustang, with minor mods, but this is much more expensive with much higher ticket potential so for the moment these turn me off somewhat. I already have a reliable daily driver I won't fuck with, and I already have a decent bike (SV650s).
For sure the Jeep can be used all year round (4x4 for winter, doors/top off for summer). The Miata is a topless street legal go-kart. Same price range for clean examples.
What are your thoughts?
wut?
Whatever you choose, you wont keep it bone stock for long.
The Miata will cost lessto upgrade.
Miata, fine, but what mods? Already handles well enough and supposedly the power to weight ratio is OK as is, maybe lighter wheels and stiffer sways? Don't wanna get into the hassle and expense of a turbo kit. Just a light, fun car to toss around corners.
I dunno, epic lift kits do not appeal to me. Stock TJ ground clearance should be more than enough for alleged friday night 3am curb jumping shenanigans.

On s'entend que a 350z or Mustang GT would require more greenbacks. 350z in my mind 12Gs should be enough. Mustang, maybe 16 because I hate the way they looked before 2005. LS1 would be nice but most of them around here are automatics or have been molested by the previous owner.
I've been lurking on lespac and it seems the car market is just as fucked up as the bike market. Shit-ass corollas/civics, you know, fwd automatics are a dime a dozen, clean and available. The moment the car is the least bit interesting, the guy wants 25-30% more than it's worth.
Might have to do the US thing.
Since I can only speak for that one...
You throw in some coilovers, larger wheels + good rubber, and you've got yourself a hell of a go kart. It's shortly geared, the sound of the stock twincam 1.6L is great, 7L/100km average, bulletproof engines, extremely reliable, maintenance is cheap...
Can't get any better for a cheap ''sports'' car.
Miata, fine, but what mods?
Mustang 5L.... tu va battre ca comme si il aurait pas de lendemain et ca va juste couter des tire et du gaz.
