CNY's NB....enter witty dialogue.

[Cny]

After wanting a Miata for numerous years I found myself in a position to buy a second car, so in 2008 I finally bought a 1993 (originally a Black and Tan) and until recently I built it, however it wasn't the generation that I really wanted. So I finally decided that it was time to sell it so I could get a NB.

I posted up a for sale thread and mentioned I would be willing to trade for a stock or lightly modified NB. Well after a short time, a CR user (ryanXstorey) and myself worked out a plan to trade my SC'd NA for his bone stock 00 NB. A few weeks later he made the trek to Western NY from Indianapolis IN.

After swapping license plates over and signing some paperwork I was the proud new owner of a 2000 NB and had a new friend in Indiana :p

(sorry for the terrible pics)

100% stock!

I am not sure exactly which way I will go power wise, however I know years down the road I would love to swap a LSX into it, but that is very far off. So I am guessing I will end up with a MS'd MP62 or a Begi shanghai kit w/MS.

After getting the car and it sitting in my garage for 2 hrs I decided the first thing I would have to do is swap over my 01+ black center console, leather e brake cover/grip and my Voodo shift knob.

After getting the interior squared away I ordered a Shark Attack II antenna to replace the big black dildo hanging off of the fender currently.

I also have a steering wheel hub on the way for a nardi/personal wheel.

Finally today I paid for my Tein Basis suspension

I also just ordered a set of Work Meister CR-01's in 15x8 et20 with the O disk (larger lip).

Yeah they wont be hella flush lol, but I think its a good compromise.

Next up will be a Harddog rollbar and some tires......unless a deal on MP62 comes through that I cant pass up! :encouragement:

[iamdallas]

Mmmmmmmm.... those CR01s are beautiful. :)

[Cny]

Mmmmmmmm.... those CR01s are beautiful. :)

I hope they still are when they aren't hellaflush on my car. I have only seen them flushed on cars.

So is the Miata.....I am hoping to come across a good deal on a used setup, however once people buy the MP62 usually they keep them.

Most excellent choice my dude.

[Cny]

Well lets see a few things to show......

The OEM front lip spoiler showed up and obviously my headlights are missing.....because they are getting retrofitted with HID projectors!
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g284/cny_kessel/NB%20Miata%20build/DSCN1518.jpg

I installed my new Alpine CD/MP3/Pandora player and my Personal Neo Grinta wheel! Unfortunately the burnt titanium bolts I bought from Baller bolts do not fit at all.... they're way to long. I also have my voodoo knob, 01+ console, leather ebrake boot and ebrake handle on too.

[tsingson]

Looks great man. How much was the radio? Did you have to buy a separate cord to hook up the ipod?

[Cny]

I believe it is a $225 cd player new. The cord is just the Iphone/Ipod charging cable. I normally run Pandora through it.

[tsingson]

Oh ok. I am trying to find an inexpensive one where I can plug the ipod into and hide it in the glovebox and control it through the radio. My avic-d3 in my expedition has it but I'm not going to pull that out again and place it into the miata.
