So, I've been gone a while. Bought a new WRX 2 years ago. Built motor, full boltons, tuned, launch control,BC coilovers, wide wheels, solid bushings, sways.... The works.
I have been wanting a daily driver, something I could make nice and just drive. You guessed it, I bought a Miata. It's not super pretty, body is straight though, and the 1.6 runs damn good. Picked it up for $900 bucks. I've driven by it for a year and a half and finally decided to stop. Well, towed it to a buddies house, threw it together only to find that the water pump leaked and the timing was off. Hence it got tore down for a new belt and pump, coils,plugs,wires,battery,and fluids.
Needed a new window roller upper dewhicky. The window I found out was held up with a block of wood :/
The drivers seat was torn and broke down, so my old one I had laying around was put in, shifter was rebuilt, and 12 pounds of leaves were pulled out of the engine bay.
The car had a newer top on it when I got it, Blue Magic top cleaner worked wonders to bring it back.
Swapped in all my LED bulbs into the turns, reverse, and brake lights I had left over as well as the modified flasher box.
Now that all the boring stuff is out of the way, I have an OEM replica lip, feed style skirts, and carbon fiber covered door handles waiting to go on at the house. And these are in the mail on their way to me. V__525D.jpg by gmac9192, on Flickr
Not much of an update but I ordered my tires today. Pretty damn hard to find 175/50/15s locally. So I got mine through tires-easy.com for about $280 shipped.
FML, heater core.... Not how I wanted to spend my Friday night.... But at least I got a great deal on a new one. $80 bucks. Egay wanted $100 for a used one most everywhere.
Well this is my first real build and im doing it with a car I have wanted for a long long time.. .to give a little background I have a 91 red Miata with 87000 miles on it. . no rust got it for a great deal and I see this car becoming something truly amazing one day. .so lets get into it.

Decided to finally start a modification thread on here. I don't post this stuff many places but since I am now here quite a bit I figured why not share?
I came about my gearhead status a little later than some do. Not quite sure what caused it. I did help my dad work on cars when I was...

I figured I'd start a thread of my own to catalog my plans for my 2002 Laser Blue, otherwise known as The Tick:
I just paid him off at the beginning of the month and am thinking of mods that I'd like to do to "finish" him off. Of course, I can't just go mod crazy. My philosophy is to make...
Hey roadster fans, my name is Kevin. I have a 1990 NA to which I am about to do incredibly stupid, but possibly very fun things. I should start by sharing a few things. I have minimal experience working on cars. I have even less experience with composites. Yet here I am, with a garage full of...
