    96 Miata build thread (Marilyn)

    I've had my miata for over a year now and never got around to making a build thread (laziness? I don't know). So anyway I have her off the road for winter and just picked up a Saab to get back and forth to school.

    A current modification list :
    -d2 coilovers
    -factory sway bars with energy suspension bushings
    -front strut bar ( came on the car don't know the brand )
    - xxr 532 15x8
    -195/45 toyo proxes
    - hubbies hub centric rings from Goodwin racing
    -cat delete (blah sounds awful with stock piping)
    -boss performance engine lift plates
    - garage star skid plate
    -project g windblocker
    - Oem front and rear lips from a scrapped miata
    -boss steering wheel hub
    -eBay three spoke "racing wheel"
    - custom snap on shift knob

    I might be forgetting a few things but once the winter project begins I will be sure to update with new parts / progress ... Thanks for looking!

    Thanks Jim! I finally got around to doing it with some free time and learned how to post pictures via iPhone lol. Having a few issues with the Saab now then I'm going to pull the motor out of the miata, weather permitting

    Haha thank you, and by dark side I think it's safe to assume your talking about the black?
    May be doing a color change since she needs a respray, ( got backed into/ over) and the front bumper is full of scratches, buffing it got rid of most the rav4 color exchange but still irks me. Since the color it is now was a custom mix me and my uncle came up with I need to do the whole car again as the metallic flake would not match at all
