Great story and results.. I didn't know you were into biking, you have great riding in your back yard with the San Gabriel mountains

Nice build! Glad your changing that rollbar for a BlackBird Fabworx GT3.
Damn, Jeremy. This story/ build is pretty epic. Love how you followed through with your vision of an epic roadster.
Are you still getting the new wheels from England? Also, You should try trail braking at k1 speed. Understeering scrubs off too much speed. lol
Fuck though, that track really shits on our K1 speed track lol.
Jeremy, I am so glad that you never sold this. Imagine if you did. The longing and the regret. You made it man and your car deserves to be in a museum. Great Job! #Respect
This has to be one of the most insanely cool NB's out there, I love everything about this car!!
The wheels from England never happened!
I contacted them, and ordered a set that were supposed to be built and delivered for MRLS
But a week before the event they contacted me stating that they had drilled the wrong bolt pattern into the wheels and would not have another set until the next casting run...
So i gave up and just canceled the order. Id like to retry sometime in the future, but im happy with my current setup until i finish other odds and ends.
Dude your build thread is insane and discouraging at the same time lol.
What a wonderful build for such a great car! From the thought processes behind your mod choices and your willingness to experiment, the car truly captures something unique to you. Absolutely one of my favorite NBs. On a personal note, going to design school was always sort of a pipe dream for me but I did end up going to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY and won't ever forget that regrettably short stay there.
i want a fastback now. Great looking car brotha!
Trip Home
Took a little break from things and traveled back home to Pennsylvania. Nothing compares to the natural scenery and beauty of tranquility you can find back east!
Most of the trip was spent at my Grandfathers place, set right in the heart of the country- surrounded by friendly farms and wildlife.
That view
Took a ride with the Pep Pep around our old fields to check out the stock
Then took a trip to Pennsylvania's version of KINOD
Back to SoCal
First check off the list was attending Wrong Fitment Crew with Project-G
While the whole stance and fitment thing is becoming a little played out to me- plenty of nice builds were to be seen
As Kimochi Stands
I have been busy getting ready to start school back up again, so i haven't quite had the time to be as detailed in my posts as in the past.
So, i will just give a quick update on some new items added. I will go into more depth when time is appropriate.
Updates:
-Xida Clubsports
-Blackbird Fabworx GT3 Roll Bar (retained Harddog door bars)
-Zoom Eng. offset carbon mirrors
-Nardi black and tan
-Upholstered a new center console cover to match lotus seats
-Repainted roof with texture coat
Other Riff-Raff
Found a local VW club near my house that ive been attending. I must say, the appeal of these air-cooled history pieces are growing on me! i love the raw nature of the little steel buckets!
Although i found the group to be quick more tight knit and unsocial when compared with KINOD or any or our surrounding Miata communities...
Saying that, i took my leave and went to KINOD- Someone had brought a set of sexy horned ITBs
i couldn't resist
Its just silly...
I will detail this more when time becomes available for me-
Enjoy for now!

Seeing how ridiculous the Miata has become, i thought it was time to pickup something a little more practical.
Then i Found this 2-Door Rav4...
Really though~ its just the right size to get around the city, i can fold the rears down and fit a washing machine if needed- in the back, and its great on gas

So you bought the black and tan Nardi etikoner had for sale. I couldn't ever make my mind up about that damn thing.
That Rav4 is super clean. The pattern on the interior fabric screams early 90's awesomeness.
My build thread and my Instagram.
Dude, your car is amazing.
I'm completely jealous.
That Rav4 has the coolest interior ever.
1990 Miata, she was red but now she is Spirit Green!

Also check out the facebook page http://www.facebook.com/IHeartFlippyHeadlights !!! Its a facebook page dedicated to the awesomeness which is flippyheadlights! Not me, but the actual headlights! High time someone noticed how awesome these things are; check it out!
Horns and a puffer? Whoa!
I guess I missed the earlier postings to this build thread. I'm glad I got to go back and catch up. It's very impressive to see what you have done and interesting to see the evolution of your roadster.
Love the PA scenery and the tractor KINOD.
P.S. I seriously hate the interior of the RAV4 but I totally get the practicality of it. It's definitely got the Hot Wheels vibe.
