Two Door Tuesday Lets See Them Two Doors

[5GENIDN]

It is the most popular car in the world! I loved that little car and regret selling it!

Yes, there are a bunch of men that have it. I work with a few... I'm like this big ole turd and don't get mad about nothing, LOL!

It was NA and dyno'd at 207WHP! It was a completely different beast after the K swap!

You know it is funny... I have found over the years that typically (there are exceptions) that really big guys tend to be some of the nicest most friendly.... I have wondered if it is because they did not grow up with others trying to pick on them or challenge them....

Oh and my refrence to "NA" was the model... I am very aware that a turbo means it is NOT naturally aspirated...LOL... I also know how you meant it...

Yea, I didn't really have anybody bully me when I was growing up, but I also didn't bully people either.

I knew what you were talking about when you said NA in the Miata sense Mine was an NB1, that I did a full NB2 conversion too, then did a full MSM conversion too! I have a walk-around video of it, but that one dude got butt hurt about the Mustang video I shared....

Sorry guys... I love being 5-9 and 150... Everything was made for me, everything. LOL advantages and disadvantages....

Yeah, but it sucks when shopping for clothes that are on sale.

Marketing. I buy what your dealer is saying even if I think the idea is dumb. They're treating the Bronco nameplate as a "family" of vehicles. Seems that the Mustang is going that route as well. I wouldn't be overly surprised to see the 6g Bronco replaced with an Everest branded as a Bronco in the US since it's closer to the Ranger that they all share.

Definitely disillusioned marketing. Sort of like the ‘00s when Ford Marketing thought alliteration would improve sales, by naming all cars with “F” names like all SUVs had “E” names. And thus they changed Taurus to Five Hundred. This too will pass…I hope.

Sorry again about that. I was responding to the negative reaction to another member's post about Bronco HP, not the video itself.

I've had both an NA6 and NA8 Miata. Awesome cars. I also had an FB RX-7 and a Mazdaspeed 3. Love me some Mazdas. Post the video!

Miata is the most popular race car in the world for a reason.... Even with a rather under powered drive train.

… okay I will play with one post:

What do you get when you cross a 1959 Ford 100e with a MX5 conv(Miata)?

270 hp turbo Mongrel

Unfortunately the turbo is just too unpredictable in the corners that it’s going old old school. A Ford UK pinto engine.

Anyone that’s ever played with one, knows how much fun they are…. And why I’m looking forward to my 25 2.3l MPC

FYI, the S650 24/25 2.3l stang guys follow eurocompulsion for modifications… my guess he is the son of David Vizzard.

Now back to regular scheduled programming ‘ 2dr Bronco’s’

Sweet! Didn't know what a 1959 Ford 100e was until I looked it up! It looks like 59 Ford Anglia?

Oh and this:

Miata is the most popular race car in the world for a reason.... Even with a rather under powered drive train. Momentum car! Dropping in that K24 that thing had to be fun!

Screw it!

 

[5GENIDN]

Screw it!

Sweet 2 door! Got to admit when I purchased my 2 door bronco it was either this or a Habu.... (ND with a 6.2 crate motor with the hot cam...) I wanted to "build" something. Figured if I went with the Habu I would not have a driver's license for very long.... My Bronco keeps me dong the speed limit.

Thanks man! I definitely made the Miata better and better with each revision and should've just thrown a Crate LS3 in it! When I added everything up for the K24 swap, after it was finished, it was about $7k more than an LS3 swap would've been... Before going the K24 route, I had installed a Rotrex SC to it, that was fun 25% of the time, but gave me more trouble than it was worth the other 75%....

Agree with the Bronco, it's way easier to keep the Bronco at the speed limit than the Miata was! I love building stuff, doesn't matter what stuff, I just like making things work better! Before my mother passed away, she drove my Miata, when it was still Silver and fell in love with it, so she bought an NC, this NC1 actually!

She got cancer maybe 6-9 months after she bought it and had to sell it. About a month after she passed away, my stepdad liked the Miata so much, that he and I drove all the way to Little Rock to pick up the NC that he wanted, there were only 3 matches in the USA.

An ND is the only Miata that I cannot get in at all! I sat in this young lady's ND1 in 2020 and it wasn't pretty! She thought it was hilarious, that's as far as the door would shut, LOL!

A couple of years ago, before I bought the Mustang, I thought about buying an NC3 and dropping a K24 in it, but they hadn't gotten all the kinks worked out yet... Then, I was thinking, I'll do the Ford Fusion 2.5 swap and throw on a turbo, but the price of everything in 2021-22 was ridiculous and I couldn't find a good NC for a reasonable price. I also thought about buying a Saturn Sky/Pontiac Solstice and doing an LS3 swap to it, but finding a decent donor car was again the issue with this idea too.... It's crazy, as pricey as Fox's are getting, it was actually cheaper to find a nice, unmolested (well, not totally) Fox for less than a 20 year old Miata or Sky/Solstice!

This was the one and only time I drove my Fox, the day I bought it, LOL! It's been on jack stands ever since

Sorry if anyone gets mad about what I posted, but it's a nice break until next Tuesday with more Bronco pics taking this thread over!

Heading to King of the Hammers tomorrow. Went up to the ranch to pick up the small trailer. Have never towed with the Bronco before, just fine very light trailer. Driving the F150 Raptor down and staying in the Ford Racing and Optima Oasis. Going to be bad ass.

Only trailer I've pulled with mine is my 5'x10' single axle utility trailer. Had it loaded down one day and the Bronco pulled it like it wasn't even there!

And I really like that Blue! That's Anti-Matter, correct? If the deal on my EG one didn't happen, I was going to order one like that!

Back in 2021, I got on the Ford site and built the Anti-Matter at first, but switched to the Velocity Blue. I still have a screenshot of it!

Then, after we test drove a Badlands early 2024, I built an Azure Grey one and look how much it was estimated at!

I wasn't sure if you were or not, LOL!
