I'll make my mark early on this forum.
To introduce myself I'll give you a bit of my history - I started out life early as a motorhead. Had a Kawasaki Ninja and a VW Baja by the time I was 14, neither of which ran of course. But I put nearly no money into either, and a lot of elbow grease and came out with these. Side note: if anybody happens to see this bug, contact me because I want to buy it back.
Anyways, I sold the bug because I knew I wanted a miata. After months of searching I came upon my 95 Montego Blue. Bone stock except some 16" Cooper wheels, a glorified style bar, and a wing that I certainly didn't fancy. Brought it home April fools day, 2012.
Bought some cheap wheels and white paint. Also traded trunks with a guy for a stock one, wallah -
Got an ebay GV front lip and painted more things white -
Then picked up a hardtop as well as Fortune Auto coils with Swift springs off CR and got my swag on -
Did some interior bits -
Did some exterior bits -
Sorry about all the pictures
Then I stripped my car out and went a bit overzealous on a good deal..
Then I lowered it a bit more -
Made it safer -
Borrowed a friends rims -
And most recently, cut up my old useless to me soft top to make a bikini top - It's not perfect, but I freaking love it for the price.
And that's the story of the first year with my miata. It's not incredible, and there's a ton of little things that weren't included, but it's there for the most part. The car has quarter panel damage which annoys the hell out of me, but I plan on trying my luck at drifting which is sure to make the damage worse.
Thanks for hanging out in my thread, post some shit here if you feel like it.
