LOL at this.
Still not registered or insured but I did install the Jet Stream headlights and am glad I made the switch. Now I got to figure out what bulbs to use and how to get them in with the new aluminum catch can.
Next up is trying to get the Maxxis 245's on our 10's to fit without messing stuff up too badly. After seeing those on Buttercup I really want to do it on an NA without going widebody or flares. May have to stiffen up the suspension to get it working without rubbing (no innuendo intended)

Plans, Plans, Plans....
I'm too new here. I need to shed light on the secrets I've been keeping.
1990 NA Miata. Bought with 60k on the clock. Completely stock.
Last year's achievements:
- MiataRoadster Short Shifter
- Enkei RPF1's (14x7 +28)
- Flyin' Miata Frame Rails
- Magnecor 85mm Spark Plug Leads
- Jenvey ITBs, Piper Cams, Maxim Works Header, Racing Beat Power Pulse Connecting Pipe and Exhaust
- Megasquirt II
- Suzuki Cappuccino Washer Bottle (from my first car. Yes. I owned a Cappuccino, let's not go there
- Joyfast Super Short shift knob (you have no idea)
- Clearwater Headrest Speakers
- Nardi Deep Corn Leather Steering Wheel (330mm)
So this year:
- OS Giken LSD
- Nakamae Type R seats
- FM Happy Meal Clutch & Flywheel - got but not IN the car (where it should be)
- Door Speakers (the old ones have been ripped out in prep)
- FM Butterfly Brace (got, but not on)
- Swap the 330mm Nardi Deep Corn for a Nardi Classico 340mm or 360mm Wooden Wheel
- Wooden KG Works Cluster (as soon as they get more in)
- Custom Gauges from Adam (Finished and in the post. Stop it. I'm not telling.) - Still need to paint my needles Red and get Needle Caps.
- Convert interior to mostly Tan rather than boring black.
And if money allows, a full respray in factory red. But with a clear coat this time.....
Not something to do TO my Miata per say, but also start a damn build thread to share what little I've learned...

That reminds me, I need to shift these wheels that are sitting around
I'm sure you'll make up for it this year Harry
Happy New Year guys!!
For 2017:
A helmet, previous is out of date, and Mechanix vented gloves
Finish cutting out my rear bumper, because racecar.
OEM style E-code headlights, since I removed the ancient LED fogs
Replace Throwout & Pilot bearings
Clutch & flywheel that came with the car
FM Little Big Brake kit
Find and fix the small oil leak
Keep the interior clean and wash it once in a while
I think that's reasonable for a year's worth of plans. My tires aren't competitive but could last the whole year... my wheels are cheap junk but they'll probably stay for now as well. Hopefully the LBBK won't be overkill for non-ABS and all-season sport tires. Happy New Year!

So, going off memory and not a checklist, I think I did ok. Even with the house rearing its ugly head on me.
Installed or changed this year: going from most resent to the earliest. Backward timeline.
Radiator cap and top clamp for the coolant leak, Yeah, fixed!
A lot of parts ordered over Christmas and prior. More work for me.
Some parts on back-order. Shandelle will let me know.
Some installed this year.
Type 1 "street" (only because the new Spec has double uprights, a second horizontal door bar. And {IFRC} a diagonal in the roof). Spec-Miata roll cage (bolt in vers.) from Bethania Garage.
Frog arms, V-8 rails, Feal 441 Race 12/8Ks, rear diff swap., Wheel swap to the Hyper-grams. Rear sway delete. Hardtop permanent hardware.And Mirrad seat with ^-point to be installed soon.
Let keep pushing ourselves, gang!
Peace!
