This is going to make me famous.

So I figured I have owned my car for about a year now, and I would like to have somewhere to see all the stages.

So now I start my painfully slow build.

I don't have any pictures of when I got it so I'll post some of the first thing I did to it, my wire tuck.

I guess I should add that the tuck was done within the first month I got the car, about a year ago.

Dirty slut before.



Only during pictures I have.





After about a week of working really slow, it is still dirty I need to grab a bunch of GOOD pictures in its current state.



Installing my 200 HDHCDD junkyard bar.







Again, I have done a bunch of cleaning and refreshing and a few little things here and there. This is more for me but if I cure some peoples boredom while I am at it cool beans.

Somethings I have done.

Buffed the entire car (Used to be pink from oxidation)
Pulled out A/C, PS, Radio Soft top.
Bought the HT
!njoy DD blanking plate
!njoy visor plates
Garagestar HT brackets
RyanXstorey made me a shifter extender
Buddy Club shift knob
Foamectomy on the driver seat

Again I am pretty broke, and it is a slow process but I will put in here what I have done.

Goal for right now is to get it ready for the track by May 19th, its is close we will have to see what happens.

The things on the to do list for that are:

Install the Exintake cam and my Gates timing belt kit.
Rad and lines refresh.
Tires and wheels.
POSSIBLY brakes.

Its a longshot but I don't want to miss the first date. I got to get on my second job game

EDIT: Don't know how to get the attached picture gone.

That's a pretty nice basic wire tuck. I've been thinking of doing one on my NA since it's just sitting right now anyways but I keep chickening out

Tires and wheels.

What are you thinking of going with for wheels?

Fast forward to a few weeks ago, and I started to install my free Bilstiens because a friend was downgrading his 93 LE with Rokkors. :woolery:

I was hoping it would be a swift swap but my amazing strength and stupidity snapped the LCA bolt putting it back on. The ENTIRE next morning was spend hunting it down an melting the minds of part guys. I ended up stopping by AIM tuning a local spec shop and they had 15, so I threw some cash at them and finished it up!

Here are some pictures, my signature phone pictures.


Needed my free upgrade.

So HOLY SHIT the car is so much better, honestly the broken spring was a surprise to me I could not tell. I am actually starting to like my car now, and I am one step closer to the track.

In the near future I need to get some GCs and FCM bumpstops, there was one stop that had seen better days. I am pretty sure I was the one that mangled it.

Still need to do research on setups, if anyone wants to ramble some fast setups I would love the ideas.

In the also near future will be the Exintake and timing belt/WP job.

I still need to revisit the tuck.

For wheel I would love some x9 6ULs, but I think I will get some wideopens first. Both wheels would have a 225 RS3

In the mean time another iPhone shot showing new ride height, it is still high but so much better than before.
Bored at work shot commence.




I also did my pop vents, didn't take pictures but here is one Ryanxstorey took. BALLA


#SWAG.

Just glad air ACTUALLY comes into the cabin now.

So this weekend between working on Ryans car I got a few things done. I managed to change my 4 rib ALT belt that had became a squealing 2.5 rib belt and swap my VERY crunchy top rad hose. I also gutted the trunk, put in my pulls, removed the IM brace, and some more random brackets.

My bay with my super rare JDM CR decal.



!njoy pulls. Really make the rest of the interior look like shit. I really need to recover my cards but have other shit Id rather do.



Interior shot for you gays.



Also last week I removed my air bags, wiring, and other shat.



Throwaway glock storage.



Well soon at least.

Nice work!

Reading the title, I was worried there was going to be pics of another Miata driving under a semi trailer...

[adamvanxxx]

I wanted to ride under the farm equipment I was stuck behind today, but I don't want to die.

[adamvanxxx]

AWWWWYEEAAA. Just ordered COPs with pigtails.

Those, the Protege VC, EXintake, Timing belt, and probably and intake and some heat shielding should be happening soon.

Also, I bought 4 extra Bilsteins for dirt cheap to build up.

Also Also, Ben (Concealer404) gave me a MX3 steering wheel and it is actually pretty sweet. Closer to me=more leg room son.

Deep corn brah.



I have to clean the cover for it, it currently looks dank. Part of me likes the bare minus the lazy ass clock spring chillin.
