so my initial plan was to build this as a full on track car, but because of financial reasons that went out the window (for now). i traded my x73 cressida straight up for the miata. heres the slowww "progress" on it so far.

My Cressida i built for drifting.
5-speed swap'd
welded diff
built the coilovers with the t3 GC sleeves. (cut n shut welded)
