Okay, so after owning my car for like 10 months I decided I need to do a build thread...

So heres the story, sold my mk4 jetta and after seeing TIGS car I was like damn I need to get a miata, but all my friends said "rwd in snow is horrible" and my driveway is absolutely horrible and dosnt get plowed (its 1/3rd of a mile long) so I figured buying a miata was not going to happen, so looked into a EG hatch and after searching every single hatch within a 15 hour drive I decided to creep on craigslist for a miata, and my one miata buddy found what is known as today as winslow My one friend named it!

So ad stated it was a 65k miata, 1990 for $4200 or something, called the guy up and said I will come get it tomorrow if I like what I see. The car had a HORRIBLE center exhaust that looked like a butt hole and it got hit from behind slightly and had a broken rear light and a bumper with some spider cracks in it, but it was FLAWLESS. The old guy needed it gone cuz his wife couldnt get in and out of it anymore. SCORE. I will take it

*** I AM GOING TO ADD PICS SOON I GOTTA TRANSFER THEM ALL TO THIS LAPTOP SO ITS GOING TO BE EDITED IT WITHIN A FEW HOURS***

Here are a few pics from when I first got it, my first good clean and photoshoot of it! Haahha those wheels and exhaust </3

Got my tow hook on and rear finish panel painted! Seats are in! Had a random set of wheels on here at this point and in this pic had the spare tire on the back passenger side.

Heres the first MIATA meet I have ever went too!! Met taco (522 xxr miata) earlier so hes only one I knew, but blu92 and griffindork are the other 2 smurfs and this was the start of my miata friends! Later these guys became very good friends of mine and I see them very often!

Did a shoot in pitt! With my new exhaust, I photoshopped out the hole from previous exhaust

Got my lip and tinted out my turn signals!
http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/ad175/ChrisJuliano13/_CRJ1603.jpg

Then I got coils and TSI's! Soon got some spacers and lots more things and didnt take many pics of my car since then (used my phone mainly) and I cannot access facebook from this laptop to post em up. Did a few track days aswell after this.

I honestly never post pics of it ever haha besides on facebook. I havnt got it to the stage where I want to post pics around, to me it dosnt really follow a theme at all its just a shit ton of randomness. But its getting there.

I have gotten a new wheel, harnesses, mirrors, tow hooks, ebrake handle this week so I havnt taken any pics with those yet but might tomorrow:)

ChrisJuliano
01-10-2012, 06:53 PM

Thanks!

01-10-2012, 07:22 PM
Whatever the headlights pictured are gross. He is rocking E-codes now, about that bumper you need to do a cut out to get rid of the unwanted cut out.

ChrisJuliano
01-10-2012, 07:24 PM
I want my rear lip:] I thought about doing cut out before i got the rear lip but I wasnt low enough to pull off a cutout bumper.

Since those pics ive went lower, not much but a little amount. I wanted to be mod slammed.

And those headlights if you want them are forsale, for cheap, I now have e-codes but those havnt came yet.

adamvanxxx
01-10-2012, 07:33 PM

Good to see you made a build thread...about time....getting so anxious for spring, it's gonna be a long winter:(

ChrisJuliano
01-10-2012, 09:40 PM
I know I didnt think I would ever make one since I never planned on doing much to my car but a few people started asking me what my car looks like so I was like maybe ill make one, then I realized a build thread is a very nice resource to not only look back on, but keep track of pics I have taken of my car. So I made one:P

I hope one day this thread is worthy of a build thread! This summer will be amazing when I get my new wheels on and lots more stuff, CANT WAIT! We are going to have so much fun at MATG this year!

blu92
01-10-2012, 09:42 PM

Heres the problem area, the crack appeared to go whole way up.

http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/ad175/ChrisJuliano13/IMG_20120204_134843.jpg?t=1328649069

Sanded it down and realized it was only on bottom and top (not sure how middle didnt crack kinda random. Put this putty stuff I researched in it and sanded it down. Quick Steel plastic white epoxy.

http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/ad175/ChrisJuliano13/IMG_20120206_162245.jpg?t=1328648955

After lots of sanding down and what appeared to be a very smooth well done job (first time doing "body work") I started primering.

I'm getting sick of winter mode real fast. Spring needs to get here already. I hope that little shitstain Punxsutawney Phil is wrong.

Did you notch the crack and dimple each end? When I repaired all the cracks on my Vette the first time, I didn't and they all came back really fast.

That is quite orange. Maybe buy a few cans from automotive touchup. Kashmir on CR.net painted his bumper with their stuff and it came out good. Here is his build thread.

Just bought a low profile jack, and torque wrench from harbor freight!!
Also picked up a few others things hehhe;p

One of the things I picked up is a garage star hardtop mount kit, I was so impressed by the customer serivce I decided to buy the security bolt kit aswell. Cant wait to get those and stop my hardtop from rattling since I do not have side mounts (car didnt come with hardtop so didnt have the peices that go by seatbelt post)

OOOOOMG

Got my Garage Star hardtop brackets with security bolts, I am going to say this I am not trying to leg hump Garage Star but in all honesty it was easily the best customer service I have ever had in many many years if not ever. Not only was the customer service on point but I bought it mid day saturday, came from california to pennsylvania on monday mid day....O_O

I also got my stock seat sliders today! Thanks Atlnb!!! Bride seat is now one step closer to being fully mounted, The side brackets are a Zig Zag style and I need to get an L shaped bracket so I can go lower. Which my friend is going to fabricate this week.

Wooooooot got my hardtop spoiler:D Yeah its not project-g but we all have budgets and even though I would love to help out a great company I cant afford to pay $100+ for something I could make for $30, and I would have made my own if I had the tools but I dont so replica was best option for me.

Fitment is awesome, quality seems good, comes with 3m double sided tape no cheap tape like most ebay companies, I really like it!

The sound of rubbing is the worst thing in the world. Just put on new wheels over the weekend and they are way too wide for the ride height I'm at. I have to raise it but I don't have a spanner wrench for my coilovers.

To low to get onto rack even though I could got up with some 2x4s, some places will put 2x4s to get you up and some places will turn down any car with any form of aftermarket suspension, so just gotta go and see.

I would like either NB or ISC tophats for my front (got em for the rear and LOVED the effects so need em for front)! Let me know if you find 1"-1.5" isc tophats.

Interesting. Looks just like the Raceland. Probably same supplier I'd imagine. Should turn some pretty colors in that engine bay of yours. Install soon?

I seriously am gunna need ear plugs hahah!

And I dont know when I am gunna install, seems like itll be a PITA so havnt even bothered yet.

imperfekt
04-09-2012, 07:33 PM
it's not too big of an install if it fits right (mine didn't), but i just had trouble cause my stock cat didn't line up with it... so i dropped the exhaust from the headers, and moved my whole exhaust forward enough to reach the end of the header and it turns out the bolts on the stock cat aren't wide enough to fit into the holes on the flange of the header - so now it's time for me to get creative... :S

heheh

Make sure you post a video of it when its on.

Do you have the cat in?

ChrisJuliano
04-10-2012, 04:51 AM
Thats because this exhaust is made for the topspeed catback which has a different angled flange on it, I have a topspeed pro1 resonated test pipe, with topspeed pro1 catback

Nope headers flange wasnt right I got a defect in the batch and they are replacing it whenever they get more in stock.

^nix the catback idea i mentioned up there :\ ... i'm running the topspeed pro1 header straight pipe to oem muffler. no cat or test pipe... it's decently quiet but my idle is funky cause of my akward supercharger setup and air/fuel ratio... makes it sound just like a rotary, kinda sputtery lol :D

how's your ride coming? nice sway bar and such...

WOW got my frame rails on today what a PITA when I didnt even wanna work on my car haha! Took 3-4 hours with me and my friend BS'ing 90% of the time, painting my scooter, eating chili cheese hotdogs (nomzz), and checking out his miata slammed on 10" wheels:D.

I went around a few bends very quick and shook my wheel rapidly and I think I really saw a difference, more than I figured I would, I dont know if I am crazy or if they actually do the job extremely well! Now I cant wait to get the sway bar on!! Thats where I figure ill see TONS of differences!

imperfekt
05-17-2012, 10:13 PM
lol, i'm really happy with just my sway bars... RB tubular up front and RB solid in the back made a big difference here. Other than those and the coils it's stock...

ignore the pouring smoke... it's not as black as it was, which makes me think it's not running as wretchedly rich, but now i feel like i might be burning oil like nuts.

Sold my tophats I bought for front end since I didnt want to mess up the allignment by putting them on, and my ride height is PERFECT, when i get super hard into turns sometimes i rub, but other than that and my lip scraping 24/7 backing outta my garage but it only cracking my lip if its really really cold, I dont wanna go 2mm lower or 2mm higher so just figured id sell tophats then RIGHT BEFORE i get an allignment nextime ill pick up 2 tophats for my front so ill finally have ISC tophats all around.

Then I am planning to buy my new front kumho xs's so I can finally have good tires on all 4s instead of my shitty perellis on front I got for $20 that are 50% tread just peices of crap hahha.

My lap times should increase alot, got a track day next month.
