-- My '92 EG : The Frame-Scraping Journey --

This looks really adorable.

I drive about 100 miles every day on this car. I don't want that much stretch lol. Plus those tires are on national back order.

You could always try a 165/50! That way it doesn't seem like as much stretch. Haha And it's a hair shorter than a 195/45, which is always a plus!

still loving this. can't wait to see more

Thanks, man! Glad I'm able to keep things interesting around here. I can't wait to see more, either!

Seeing as how I'm completely picking the paint job apart, I was pretty frustrated a couple of nights ago. BUT he did a lot of wetsanding and buffing today, and it's definitely getting more 'within reason' for me. There's still a few things that need to be addressed, but once HE says he's done, I'll make my final judgement. I would honestly ****(<---synonym for strongly dislike) to work for me with something like this. I know I make it a pain in the ass... Haha

Something GAY- The front bumper's fitment is pretty uncool on the sides, so I'm gonna have to get another one. It'll suffice for now, though...

any updates?

[06tiburonofdoom]

Alright everyone, I have quite the update! I GOT A MIATA. As some of you may know, I've been planning on getting one for over a year, and it has finally happened. It's a red '96 with right at 100,000 miles, and it is in INSANE condition. The interior is flawless, and the ORIGINAL PAINT is damn near perfect. I absolutely love the car. It's super stock, and it's exactly what I've been looking for. We pick it up tomorrow, so as long as it's not still raining, I'll try to get some pics up!

Civic wise, it's pretty much done! I'm just waiting on my last couple of shipments of trim to come in. The guy repainted the hood because there was a weird reddish spot in it, so I'm assuming that it's done and on the car, but I haven't checked. He still has a little more wetsanding and buffing to do, but I'm really pleased with how it's turning out. I finally saw the car in the sun, and it's crazy!

[OG patina]

so i guess we can expect a new build thread on the miata then?

[MaxBell]

YEAHH, rwd ftw!! Careful now Mr. Honda.

[Walnuts]

If the honda is this crazy I can't wait to see the miata.

[Tomzz]

I demand more pics!

[06tiburonofdoom]

Haha, it'll be a while before I do the GOOD stuff to the car. I made a deal with my parents since I'm going back to school and they're gonna pay for living and tuition and what not. BUT I alllways find a way to work the system! The first things that'll be done are a hardtop, R-package lips, and if I can find some, RS Active headlights. Here's a quick cell pic from today. It's dirty as fuuu from the storm last night, but I was having too much fun with it to care. Haha

Yeah, I wasn't too sure about the tan top at first, but now that I've seen it, it doesn't bother me TOO much. A hardtop is definitely one of the first purchases, though. Haha
I LOVE the interior, though. It literally looks brand new, and it's all tan leather and whatnot.

that's funny, because I'm planning on getting a miata too lol awesome purchase man

Haha, thanks. It seems like everyone wants a Miata these days!

[loudest03cavi]

Well, it is one of the last of the FR roadsters on the market to be had for decent prices.

[06tiburonofdoom]

[Kielan]

He means cut out the area where they hit, that's what you have to do. I'm doing it to my Integra later this week.
