not quite sure where i should post this type of thread, i don't see a photoshoot type of section like on some other forums. please excuse the mistake if i am making one by posting this in here.
finally got to slam the miata with koni's/gc's. probably have less than an inch of shock travel remaining before the cut bump stop hits, but it still seems to perform great, and koni's aren't sensitive to shaft position so all is well. things will be even better when i order the extended top hats for the rear and gain the extra shock travel i need to drop the rear another 1/4" or so.
i also recently finished the first coat of paint using 50 dollar rustoleum paint job method, with the exception of the front bumper and the rear panel where the frankenstien bolts are at, which still need their first coats of paint. i have a couple more coats to do, and a lot of wet sanding/polishing with a random orbital buffer.
and now for my typical coastal shots. we took a drive from woodside to the coast via hwy 84, lots of very tight twisties ftw =) :thumbup: :thumbup: found others in an m coupe, a ford gt, a ferrari or two, got a wave from an old guy in a black na, but no elise's up in them hills today =( and a big thanks to the guy in the red na miata who pulled over to see if i needed tools/help when i was adjusting the konis on a pull-out on 84. miata owners rule.
thanks for viewing, have a great weekend :thumbup:
stay tuned as i take care of the details like finishing the paint job, cleaning up the tail lights, making the black trim all black again, etc etc....
