    sideshow NB slow project

    Back in the beginning of summer I traded my 91 to phillyb for his blowed up 99. You can use alot of words to describe Phil's car. Clean is not one of them. It had alot of good points and alot of bad but I have been wanting a 99 for a while. The time was right. One the good side it has Megan ez street coil overs, Flyin Miata sway bars and a torsen diff. The bad points were the ugliest interior ever, dirty faded paint, spray painted front bumper, ugly tan top and a huge dent in the quarter panel. By the way it is a cali car so that means NO rust....

    Here it is the day I got it. I kept my old wheels too!



    Some mid project photos:
    60k 01 bottom end, had the cylinder head completely rebuilt and the lash properly set and painted a few things

    .

    Continuing on I added a milltek muffler, flyin miata mid pipe and 01 manifold.

    I started fitting some body panels as its going off for body work starting this week:

    mazdaspeed rear bumper, oem trunk spoiler, small tupperware and an 01 bumper and headlights.
    I also will be adding a gv front lip and headlight lids down the road.



    Oh ya, the engine is in and runs very well!!
