Where do I begin? I'll start with when I bought the car. December 10, 2011. It was $2500 and came with a hardtop and rollbar. The only problems were some little leaks here and there and some ricey altezzas. I was 14 years old when I bought my first car. It is a 91' Miata.    Quickly traded the altezzas for a set of OEM tail lights after getting the car. The next mods I did were suspension and exhaust. Corksport drift exhaust:  Tokico Blues with lowering springs:  |

Next mod I did was to get some wheels. Decided to go with the NB 15 inch stockers. I liked the way they looked, especially on the NA.   I think I was 15 around this time. I was learning to drive the car because: 1. I didn't know how to drive stick. 2. I don't have a license yet. The other engine mods I have are Jackson Racing headers and an UNI cold air intake with DDMWorks heat shield.  Also picked up some F1Spec racing seats:  And upgraded my suspension to something stiffer. KYB/AGX shocks with Tein Lowering springs:  |

That thing is sick! How long have you had it for? A long term car is always a labor of love. I decided I'm not selling any more cars, they're going to have to be crashed out of my family before I will buy a replacement for them now lol.

Sophomore year in highschool: I got new wheels and a KG Works trunk spoiler!! The wheels are Ronal R15 15x7 +20 offset. The tires are 205/50/15 BF Goodrich G-sport all seasons. They're pretty good for daily driving and the occasional mountain run. Also rolled the fenders when I got the wheels.   Added little things and such as time moved on. I got a Eunos nose badge and a TRS tow strap.   |

It's a blast to drive! I really don't want to get rid of this car anytime soon. Best choice for my first car.  |

I'm glad you know that! I didn't when I was your age and was stupid enough to sell it, even though it was my second car.

I love the look of that exhaust! Is it worth a buy? Totally. It sounds amazing. However, you might want to modify the resonator as it hangs really low. Mine used to scrape all the time and I wasn't even slammed. Totally recommend it  |

Nice looking miata! I love how you've kept it clean and simple on the outside but put your own flare on the interior with the door panels. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you do to it.

Thanks! My next upgrades will probably be suspension (again) and some bracing. I want to get a diagonal and a harness brace welded to my roll bar so I can get harnesses. |

No recent updates but this weekend big changes are coming. Installing the Koni Yellows with Flyin' Miata Springs. How low can I go with those? I'm also changing the oils in the transmission and rear diff. Fun fun fun!!!

Anyway, new-t0-me suspension is in!!! Changed oils today too. The new set up is Koni adjustables with Flyin' Miata springs. They are really stiff and they lower the car a decent ride height that I'm extremely happy with. I will get pics of the ride height later. I only took one pic because I was working too hard to take pictures.  |
