    Comin in from Maine

    Hey guys,
    My names Todd Wilson, I'm from Wells, Me. About a year ago i picked up a bone stock rust free 117k Mariner Blue Miata. Base model open diff crank windows all the good stuff we search hi and low for lol(well rust free yes)

    I didnt even register it when i bought it i drove it into my car port and there it sat till March. Over the months i did a few projects; wrapped my door panels made shift boots put in a mom 350 and quick release and added a super duper really fancy ultra safe double hoop behind the seat bar. i knew it was quality because my girlfriend got it off ebay.

    Sorry if my post is long or hard to read, or boring and pointless. I'm not the best speaker out there. Ive had the car a year it is my favorite build yet and I have many plans for the future. Just recently i ordered my mega squirt and im working towards getting some real(ly) nice wheels as well as continuing on my interior build.

    I also have the same Kirkey pro drag seats in my miata . how are yours mounte . Do they flex . I had mounts made for the back of my seats that bolt to the roll bar because the seats would flex up to 3-4 inches

    I cut out the factory mounts welded the seams and mounted thru floor with 1/4 plates under car(probably what made flexing not an issue
