    New guy from NC

    Hey there everyone, hope you guys don't try to rip my head off here lol. My name's Justin, I live in NC and am a member of the NCANG. I have a 1990 Mariner blue Miata and just want to be active on a forum so I can maybe help people out or get help from other people as I modify this one. Currently my mods are:
    quick disco steering wheel from Fleabay
    sleeves and springs from Fleabay
    XXR 15x8 +0 wheels with 195/50 tires
    plastidipped the rear valence
    Hella H4 headlights
    Kenwood HU, Alpine speakers in doors, all headrest speaker wiring fixed
    chin lip with TDR splitter
    5X tow hooks
    MR shifter extension
    delrin shifter knob
    custom center console (not finished)

    Car is nowhere near complete, just trying to get it not looking stock lol. I just blew a rear strut so I have some KYB's on their way until my x return comes in then I'm ordering some FM Vmaxx's, because I've decided to run a slightly different wheel/tire combo.

    (P.S. haven't read how to post pics yet and am using my phone so bear with me for pics lol)

    First off raise the car, remove the plati-dip, get rid of the the Flea-bay junk before the car burns to the ground, don't drift, don't autocross, don't stance, don't ask without searching, if you can't find the answer search some more... oh yeah... STAY OFF MY LAWN.

    All that being said, welcome! LOL

    Ha ha! Welcome to the site! Good to have you. Can't wait to see some pictures of your car. Also, we have a new classified section where you can sell your old parts. It's pretty cool, and easy to use. Let us know if we can help in any way.

    -Cheers,

    Jim

    First mistake was admitting you are from CR so I saved you some drama and changed it to "New guy from NC"

    Welcome to the forum, you are welcome to ask questions, if you are new to the Miata then ask in the "Ask MazdaRoadster" section, it is a flame free zone (with the exception of trolls) so you are free to ask questions, we don't bite. everyone is pretty chill here, read the rules and you will be fine.

    Oh and Post Pics of your Miata

    Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, honestly the eBay steering wheel and quick disco aren't that bad of a part so far. My first NASC had the NRG hub and a worn out Momo wheel and the eBay hub and quick disco were easier to install since I didn't have to modify the clock spring. I'm just really excited for the Vmaxx's!

    Ah! So you finally made it over. I'm glad you got my message and decided to come over. Swing over to the Southeast section and find the RDU thread and introduce yourself.
