Introducing: Opgedronken!

[Opgedronken]

Hey guys,

I'm putting my intro thread in this section, because I can't find a dedicated one :P.
Anyway, I'm Remy, 24 years old, from the Netherlands and I want a Beat!
I've been looking for a nice small semi-daily driver with little running costs and road tax.
I don't really like ordinary cars and after thinking about it for a good while I keep getting back to the Beat.
My current car is a Mazda Miata NA, but I'd like to get to restoring it bit by bit, so I need an alternate form of transportation.
At the moment I'm still very much in the orientation phase, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to be looking for a '95 or '96 Version Z.
That's about it for now, I'll put a few pics of my Miata below so this post isn't so boring :P

PS.

Thanks to Mike for getting my account validated!


Miata:







Hmm it seems I can't get the pics to embed properly...

Wow, thats the best looking MX-5 / Miata I've ever seen!

Nicely done!

[old'uns]

welcome.

any reason why it has to be a Z?

[Opgedronken]

Thanks guys! I'd like a Z because of the diff, but I'm still reading up so I might change my mind :P.
As for my Miata, I consider it pretty modest, but I really appreciate it!
I'd like it just a tad lower so that I'm tucking about 1/4" of the tyre.
Because of the big brake kit I'm putting on I need some spacers and it will look a bit silly if it isn't lower :P.

I think the lsd was just an option on the Z, not standard. Could be wrong, but it might be hard to find one if that is so.

Welcome, and good luck finding a beat.

I think the lsd was just an option on the Z, not standard. Could be wrong, but it might be hard to find one if that is so.

I've read that the LSD became standard after 12-'94, but that might be false information.
As I said, I still need to do a lot of research, but I'll get there :P.
