So i think i finally enough experience with a miatas so start my own project thread :mrgreen:. Lets start with a little history about what convinced me to buy a car that most recall it as a "gay car".
before buying my miata, I owned different type of cars starting with 2nd gen eclipse, 1st gen rx7, sentra ser , and my favorite, Srt 4. i had to sell the srt4 and decided so buy a cheap daily just to move around and something about slammed miatas caught my attention. I stumble upon a salvage title 99 nb at the auction and decided to bring it back to life....

small quarter panel damage, that was all

from what i remember i won the bid at 2400 and had it transported from Texas to south fl.

I started working on it by changing gaskets, seals, water pump, timing belt, basically a full tune up. edit: i had a mechanic do the job since ive never changed a timing belt before...

then I converted the lights to projectors. which were to small...

Racelands came in

finally got it up and running but was missing something very important...some wheels!

some dude passed by my uncles window tinting shop with some 002's and i tried them on. nice huh? but i needed to cut some more lawns to afford them... so months passed

I saw a thread here about the rx7 r1 lip on a nb. i thought it looked nice so i ordered one

soon after the lip was installed i finally bought some wheels

xxr 527 16x8.25 0

had a little fender rolling fun.... and ended up cracking the front fenders...

well i have ran out of time...theres still way more to come and a twist of events as well

i also bought on ebay nb small side skirt with large mug guards.... put them aside to have them painted in the future.

then i had my friend make stainless steal shift knob that weighted a little over 1lb


more low means more fender pulling…

Simply Clean 3 came...Orlando here i come

After returning from orlando I decided that my car was low enough to more pull!

while driving to my house some guy thought it was ok to pass a red light and...
...
..
.

The aftermath, insurance claimed it total loss... I keep the car plus cash on top.

I was about to get out of the miata scene but changed my mind a couple times and decided to try out a Na

1992 Canadian with a blown head gasket...oh and its auto :fp:

So we are finally up to date... I just removed the motor and tranny off the nb and na

then last night, we had a look to see whats inside of the 1.6 and...

So you finally bought that white car. Good luck with your project it should turn out nice. And damn that 1.6 motor looks terrible.

Yeah bro I got tired of driving up and down looking for a good one. I ended up getting an extra door too. Now I'm waiting for the fm swap kit and some other stuff to get moving

 

[Mia95]

Glad you didn't leave the Miata scene just yet. I can't wait to see what you do with this one. :3

 

[Rx7zone]

I had a lot of plans for the nb so lets see whats with this na. With school and work I barely have time and this is what i got so far

fedex and ups finally came through and...

stage 1 clutch, lightweight flywheel and fm conversation kit

Today I removed the all the accessories(alt,comp,ps,etc) and hopefully on thursday ill have time to paint the block. The auto parts don't have Gold high temp paint so ama try homedepo

 

[dliverance]

How much did you end up getting the white car for?

 

[Rx7zone]

I ended up paying 1050. It was probably worth less but I was wasting time and gas money looking at over priced miatas.
