Well, I know I don't post all that much here but I just bought a new miata 3 days ago and really wanted to do a build thread this time around. I've been looking for another car for almost 6 months ever since I sold the last POS miata I owned (pictured below)

But after 6 months I finally found the perfect miata hiding in Washington DC. A montego blue 95 miata, fully loaded, power everything, OEM hardtop with defrost and headliner, mint soft top, sport suspension and a LSD. Plus, the car only had ~25,000 miles on the clock.
I dont have many of my own pictures yet but I'll post what there was from the craigslist ad.

So far I've ordered a full exhaust, coilovers, wheels, a roll bar and a few other miscellaneous items. Ill post all of that stuff up as it arrives. So far I have installed new mazdaspeed motor mounts and raised my engine, I removed my soft top and installed the Garage Star metal brackets with security bolts and the Garage Star license plate bracket. I plan on leaving the hard top on until I get around to buying a G String top from Project G.
I got this thing in the mail, only problem was that it didn't have the harness bar that I ordered.

GoMiata sent me the bolt in harness bar the next day at no extra charge despite it being a $120 difference

So thats where I'm at as of right now. Pretty much just waiting for coils, the catback and steering wheel stuff since the steering wheel I had wont work because it was way too deep of a wheel and I need a quick release as well with the seats I have.
