What "affordable fun" stable mate for your Fiesta do you have?

[Mikey456]

Well, after many hours searching and looking at Miata's, Fiata's, and MR2. My kids found something that has similar weight and power
to the FiST but NA and a lower center of gravity. Price was good too! View attachment 53163

That’s a fun car. Just keep on the IMS bearings problem and solutions.

Mikey456,

I've priced in the approximate $ I'll have to drop on a IMS, RMS, and clutch, still below what I would have gladly paid for a similar condition NC2 or NC3 Miata. Luckily this one was a garage queen all its life. Plan is just to maintain and drive (which hopefully will include a few hot laps).

I just wish my garage looked like that! Where in Wales? I'm originally from Aberystwyth.

So do I!! 😂 It’s not my garage! This photo was taken the last time I took my car in to be detailed,
I live in Llanybydder so not far off Aberystwyth at all.

My late mother was a nurse in Llanybydder during the war!

What the fuck.

I was searching for similar words but I think you've painted an accurate picture.

That think looks like it never left the showroom!

It’s done 16,000 miles I’m ashamed to say! I need to drive it more as it’s such a great car to drive. Very different to the Fiesta ST, but both great driver’s cars in their own right.

7 stablemates here...

• 4 NC generation Miatas. (3 turbo'd ranging from 270-400whp, 1 N/A 2.5L duratec swap)
• Focus ST
• Supercharged Lotus Elise
• Alfa Romeo 4C

I try to drive half of them each weekend at minimum. Love them all! 🤠

I’m quickly learning my engineering degree isn’t paying me shit.

My Fiesta IS my "affordable fun" car, haha.

This is my other vehicle, which is sort of fun I guess.

I got me a Mk5 Rabbit that I lifted and put huge all-terrain tires on. Also took out the rear seats and put a bed in the back.

I traded some guy a 12-pack of Yuengling for his old Tiguan springs and they fit right in. View attachment 53168

Im not proud of how much i like this lol

Little 135cc scoot. 5 gears about 60-65 top speed depending on wind and grade lol. The Chinese/Italian competitor to the Grom.

Fender eliminator installed. Brake and clutch levers inbound along with 30% clutch springs and a minus 1 tooth front sprocket I may or may not decide to install.

2006 Harley Davidson Sportster which lives in my kitchen till I get a garage has 3200 original miles getting a 1200 kit put in this weekend. My DD which is an 08 Accord LX which just got a complete overhaul of stock replacement parts down to timing chains has 186k and runs like it’s new,nothing fancy, and a 04 Ford F250xl has 262k on it and I only trust to drive it 1/16 of a mile down the road and back to drop my garbage off at the transfer station.

I see I posted in this thread a while ago and submitted my 04 IS300. It's been sitting in the garage for about 7+ months, sometimes forget I have it as I'm babysitting it for my friend stationed in Hawaii and I have it stored at my parents 3 car garage. Need to replace the battery, align it because I replaced a bunch of suspension components and also do the registration/inspection, plus some other little things. Recenty replaced the tires because after driving it for a bit it seems like the car is really loose, loves to slide and the tires have somehow worn out. Super weird. For being an affordable stable mate it sure has made me spend some money lol
