Tungsten's 02 SE

[Tungsten6]

Well I have a build thread on my primary Mazda forum, but I figured I would post up on a Miata forum.

Got the car in July 11' with 67k on it. Fell in love with the color combo when I saw it a few years ago. Fell in love again when I saw the car sitting on the lot and I had to have it.

Build will probably start to slowly pick up in the next few months, so I figured why not.

Anyway enough of the boring crap, here are some pictures

Hi,
Are you happy about your BC Racing Coilovers ? Did you notice a real improvemant of the handling compared to the previous one ?

[ThatWhiteNA]

He hasn't bought them yet. As a matter of fact, he can't decide what he wants. :fab:

[Tungsten6]

Having great progress this year already. What's next for you on your list

[Tungsten6]

Probably going to start doing little things first (Motor mounts, HID's, paint the lights)

I am always keeping a little bit of money to the side though just incase I find a MSM lip(s)

Bigger things are Exhaust (Either Enthuza or Roadstersport) and wheels (unless I decide to keep the SE's)

[mini_fd]

The biggest improvement i thought was in your list are the Mazda comps. I truly recommend getting those asap. The car feels much stiffer when that engine is secured.
