Miata Mod Master Mᴉsɥlᴉsʇ

[I had to spell Wishlist upside down to keep the alliteration going]

So, here's my first original post in quite a while. Apparently, the last one was a whole hundred followers ago - immense thanks to all 400 of you!!! And also, Tumblr informed me I got 1000 likes and kindly generated a picture for me to thank y'all for them with!

Given that's 2.5 likes per follower, I assume they mean 1000 likes just on my original posts, which would track considering most of my posts are additions, and liking all of those either counts towards that tally as just one like to my original post, or if you liked it through a reblog potentially nothing at all, because maybe likes to reblogs aren't counted even if they're reblogs of my own posts. But don't think I'm a numbers-chaser, this is just me wondering. Really, the only reason I even look at the activity chart of my blog is because I started trying to make that line as straight as possible for giggles (and then some of my posts blew up and ruined it, ecksdee). The thought of someone having enjoyed what I wrote has me smitten every time I see it, and I can barely even comprehend the idea that it happened a literal thousand times. I still can barely wrap my head around four hundred people all having decided they actively want to hear more from me. (Usually it's the opposite, har har.) I love all of you for it. The freaks, the puritans, the children (wait I just said that OOH GOTTEM), the adults, the uncomfortably weird, the hyper-organized users that use different blogs for each one of their passions, the hyper-random users that reblog my posts right after diaper fetish art. (And if you thought that was some whiplash, imagine the guy who followed a diaper fetish art blog getting shown me.)

But this is just me buying time, isn't it. Alright alright, let's talk about the wishlist, beginning with its premise.

This is not advice. This is not a list that makes sense at all, really - most of these items are way far down the list of things I'd do with the money they cost and/or the effort they'd take. This is a dream, where those aren't a factor. Just like some people's dream car is a ten million dollar hypercar that was built directly into the bodies of five Middle Eastern oil moguls, my dream car is a Miata with exactly these bits. (And a Seven, but I really need to stop confusing y'all with them being tied for the favorite car top spot.)

This list is based on a note I started in middle school for the fun of it (which is hopefully understood as the driving motive behind this all) and gradually updated through high school and sort of left behind after that, having kind of run out of bits to add to it. It's split into six sections:

Exterior

Interior (i.e. cabin, trunk and engine bay)

Drivetrain (i.e. anything that plays a role in making the wheels spin)

Chassis and suspension (i.e. chassis and everything that connects the wheels to it)

Electronics (i.e. electronics/microcontroller-related features)

Miscellaneous

This will be a chance for me to check the prices of all the things I listed and, at the end of it, tally up their total cost and feel feelings about its enormity. But of course, we'll need to start with a thing that was not in the note, as it was a given to me: the base car. So that will be the subject of my next addition to this post.

Because I can't make this a single post. Absolutely no chance. Even just any workaround to the image limit being about a fifth of the length of this list would be a nightmare for me to execute and for y'all to navigate. And frankly, the length of the task would make me, if not outright give up, at the very least skimp on the kind of explanations and discussions that I must assume are why you're all here. So I will need to make additions to this post (in the form of a reblog, of course) each going over one section at most. But truth be, even doing one reblog per section presents those problems, so some sections would need splitting in a number of parts. Or I could go to the other extreme and made one post per item (or when appropriate group of items), which would allow me to expand upon every which one as little or as much as appropriate while still keeping a tidy presentation. But to do this I would need to hide all the information bar the name under a Read More, because if I put as little as one picture before it by the time I'm at the end of the list every time this post appears in your dash you'll have to scroll past some hundred pictures to get to the bottom of it; also, of course, this would mean this post showing up in your dash upwards of a hundred times - though of course you could just ignore it a bunch of times and when you feel like it go through all the parts you've not read yet at once.

Right now I'm leaning towards the one post per item approach, which would allow me to work towards the completion of this abomination in small daily steps rather than in age-long parts which would also help addressing your other submissions. But it's very hard for me to figure out what y'all would prefer, as it's kind of hard for me to figure out who would actually want to read through the entirety of this. So, y'all are welcome to leave your feedback in the replies or through this non-binding format poll.

Mazda MX-5 Coupé 

The Mx-5 coupe was marketed exclusively in Japan and it did so for a short period of time that did not even reach a year, specifically it was on sale from October 2003 to July 2004. This Mx-5 had very good numbers in terms of sales, so it is rare that Mazda has never repeated a similar project or even extended its marketing period. The Mx-5 coupe project fell to Mazda Engineering & Technology, who took care of all the development of this car. To develop this car, what these guys did was use units that were off the production line, which through the insertion of different panels and modifications became the MX-5 coupe. The result was more than satisfactory, the new MX-5 coupé had much greater rigidity than the roadster, it was much more exclusive and aesthetically it had a very nice line. In addition, the increase in weight compared to the convertible version was only 10 kg. The Mx-5 coupe was marketed with the same options as a regular Miata. The basic version incorporated the 1.6-liter engine that produced 110 hp. The gearbox could be either a 5-speed manual or an automatic. Three “special” versions were also put up for sale. The most striking, which is not the same as the most attractive, was the Type E version. Only 150 units of this version were manufactured and exclusively in two colors; Lightning Yellow and Velocity Red. The engine of this Type E was a 1.8 with 146 horsepower and mounted an automatic gearbox. Another version that was marketed was the Type S. Its engine was also a 1.8 with 146 horsepower, but this time it was mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. The Type S was only available in three colors; Pure White, Classic Red and Sunlight Silver. Finally we have one of the most attractive versions, the Mazda MX-5 Coupe Type A. This version was limited to 200 units and was only available in the same colors as the Type E; Lightning Yellow and Velocity Red. The engine of this MX-5 Coupe Type A was again the 146-horsepower 1.8 mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox.

NICE! A Sparco publicity image was provided showing off the Sparco Ultra bucket seat! Fitted into this MX-5 to get a seriously impressive driving position and setup. What do you think? 🏁

Gorgona NM+, 2023. A prototype restomod based in a first generation Miata/MX-5 that is powered by a contemporary 2.0 Skyactive-G 4-cylinder engine from the latest generation of MX-5. Gorgona Cars says that the NM+ represents “the prelude to a small series production.”

Have you seen https://autoplush.com/en-gb/products/miata-red

How DARE you insinuate I would not know of the Miata plushie!

It was even featured in a picture from the "Know about cars" post I did years before this blog and am working on remastering!

I absolutely love that it exists - it is kind of sad how even in their own promotional material it is clear how atrocious a job they did of recreating the Miata's shape, but it still is no justification for deciding to gift me clothes when I still haven't got one.

Unless of course those clothes are the slippers they also sell.

That DRIP!!!

(and yes, folx, Autoplush is the company behind the Twingo plushie!)

Hurtan Grand Albaycín 

Hurtan is a Spanish company -specifically, from Granada- that has been designing and manufacturing cars by hand for almost thirty years. It is an automobile atelier that shapes modern examples of retro style. His latest creation is the new Grand Albaycín, a roadster built on the basis of the Mazda MX-5. Customers can choose their unit with a convertible body, equipped with a soft top, or a Targa, with a hard top. The available engines -two gasoline- are the same as those offered in the range of the Mazda MX-5. Thus, you can choose between a block of 1.5 liters and 132 hp or a 2.0 that develops 184 hp. The company has not provided details on the benefits of the vehicle, which will probably differ from those offered by the Japanese base model.
