    Hi, from Charlotte, NC!

    New MR.net supporter here! Finally have some time to say hello to everyone. I picked up my 92 C package about 8 months ago in Asheville with 128k. Since then I've put roughly 10k miles on her and loving every mile of it. It was down for about a month due to cooling failure but everything is good now thanks to Treasure Coast and Flyin' Miata. It's running like a champ now! Well enough talking here are some pics and a brief history of ownership.

    The day I brought it home.


    Installed Replica R package lip along with a pair of Runabouts.


    Shocks were blown, so I found a set of cheap set of Racelands. Yes, I know they suck but they do the job for now.


    Bought a set of Enkeis and wrapped them in some Falken Ziex tires.




    Mounted


    Then she broke down =( that's me going down on the Miata to make her happy again.




    While it was down a Blackbird flew by to drop this off.
    Check out that Dope decal by Spinnywhoosh!!


    Installed!!


    And the newest addition thanks to Adam.


    Last but not least. She's back on the road!!


    I've probably should've made a build thread lol. But yeah, I appreciate and have a lot of respect for this forum and can't wait to meet some of you.

    Welcome!
    You have a faster start than I do. I have installed my Techna brake lines, ARP studs, 949 lugs, Dial-ins, rear defog electronics, and 26 HP worth of Spinny vinyl.
    And you are a neighbor.
    I need to get off my ass when my next fix-its get here and get my build going! ;-)

    I was NCG on NASIOC and brought it here when I got my MX. Know anyone that wants a complete LL Bean with an EZ30? LOL Gonna have duel rebuilds here in the spring. The NA get her stiffy bits and the 'prez gets her 2.2 back to DD me.

    Welcome to the family! You've put in a lot of work so far, and it looks great! Bonding with these roadsters is one of the best parts of owning them. There are some many way that you can modify them and make them your own.

    Car looks great! So do the gauges. I have the same ones and I think you have convinced me to paint my needles....what paint/paint color did you use?
