Some of you guys may have seen my non-roadster build thread stating that I was going to convert my daily driver (2003 Lex GS300) into a toy by way of swapping in a JDM Aristo 2JZ-GTE, single turbo, 500whp, suspension, etc.

Scrap that.

I just put a deposit down to hold my next project and it is another roadster. And I won't be starting from scratch on this one. It's already a spectacular example and what's been done has been done right. I'll be taking it, babying it and putting my spin on it.

It will be phat.

That is all. (for now)

SHORTCUTS:

Got the car home from Tampa, FL to Dallas, TX

Got the '95M seats recovered in '93LE red and installed

Installed the Nakamae carpeted center console

XIDA installation woes

Got my M2 1028 steering wheel and Runabout Mirrors

Teaser pics of interior with M2/Revlimiter/Nakamae goodies and exterior with custom Eunos stripes and other misc. hotness

Great pics from a photo shoot with Justin (tsxser)

The last bit of "Miata" is gone from the car. All of the branding is now "Eunos Roadster".

Installed Bellof low-pro headlights and a unique "EUNOS" badge on the rear. - GOOD pics of the Bellof Lights here.

Awesome, cheap eBay aluminum radiator install. Took a chance and it paid off. This thing has been great.

Scored some legit wheels off Yahoo! Japan auctions.

Takes 1 and 2 on the SSR Watanabe RS-8's. All Bronze. Follow for a page or 2 to see all pics.

Final take on the SSR Wats. Bronze center, chrome lips. Also...Rooster goes to Albuquerque to hang out with Sharka and Flipper.

Rooster gets a feature

Road trip blogs and route coverage. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

The work begins on a built '99 head swap.

Hell yes.

they look so proper now. I really like how they came out.

Following you on Instagram, haha.

He met up with Adam (Revlimiter) and Sharka. Stoly and Flipper also made an appearance.
i'm also waiting for the photos
Plenty of photos already up on revlimiter.net. More will be posted up there in very short order. There are still 2 days' worth of pics unprocessed.

I'll cross-post a few of them here in a couple of days.

jelly indeed!
Most jealous.
Even though I love flipper, I think I would have died if it were Scrat in these photos instead.


Nevertheless, there is so much awesome in here.

That was the original idea. Scrat is just taking a little bit longer than we'd hoped.

One day there will be crazy pics of Scrat, Sharka and Rooster (just realized that's "SSR") all playing together.
I can't wait for "SSR" drives and photos! One of my favourites from the trip of Rooster.

I knew those wheels would be awesomer with polished lips.

Finishing them in all bronze was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made in my car modifying career. I didn't know it until I saw the most recent version mounted and rolling around in daylight. They're really pretty in person.

Though, I know of a few people who have told me they prefer the K7's. I can't blame them. They have a much more aggressive look. But I <3 my SSRs.
I have to say Steve, those wheels make the car, it looks fantastic!!!
As nice as the K7's look on your car, I think the SSR's with the polished lip look way better. (if I had the scratch, I'd be picking up your K7's)
Magnesium SSR's > Rota K7s

all day

They look amazing. I love love love 14's, and the totally capture the essence of your car in those pictures.
