    Looks good Devon! I like the front lip and rear spoiler. It's coming together nicely.

    Thanks guys! RustRat not as "clean" as pictures make it out to be, but it's getting there slowly!

    took a nice trip up to Maine today, the car rides much smoother with the higher profile tire.

    Good choice on the wheels, the rp01s are nice but the difference from those to the MK3s are immense, it transforms it from bland okey red roadster to jdm red roadster. In a good way.

    What are the specs?

    I think the r package trunk spoiler doesn't fit now, it breaks it up to much.

    Devon's Red Roadster

    8j -12 with 8mm spacer to clear brakes and 7.5j +6
    And I agree with the trunk spoiler. Going to get it painted and see if it looks any better.




    Been cleaning up some pieces in the engine bay to get it looking neater.

    I like what I see if you want a spoiler, try the KG works one, similar style but prettier, imho.

    Got some proper suspension for the car now so I can finally put on the konis I've had forever.
    Just need to take the tophats off my old struts and they are ready to be installed in the car.

    What a year's difference can make. When my OE '95 mounts came out they were in four pieces.



    Good repair!

    Well a huge change of plans in a good way for this car. I've decided to part out my black Miata and transfer most parts over to this one. Then I plan to build that motor and eventually put it in here. So RIP Marilyn the black bean, you will be missed.
    Be on the look out for many more cool parts coming to the red car.

    Thanks nic ❤️

    Did some stuff to keep me entertained, deleted ac that didn't work, deleted egr (because I can that's why, before anyone asks) painted intake manifold, exhaust manifold and pulleys. Also did a timing belt water pump and many miscellaneous boring things.

    Look pictures.

    Nothing too special going on yet... racing beat endlinks
    d2 coilovers, cheap rotors and ATE front pads.
    new rack bushings and a bit of undercarriage cleaning.
    cut away the rust at the bottom of my fenders, and painted the body beneath with truck bed coating to prevent anymore rusting.
