The SLO KART: From zero to hero. (56K now way!)

[Corifto]

So I've lurked for a while and decided to make a thread on here. It started out as a $400 non running, non titled Miata, with a ripped top, no fuel pump, toasted clutch, dead battery, and the molded body kit. It's come a long way.

Flamesuit on.

Good move on getting rid of that God awful kit from the get go!]

Nice progression so far, future plans after the turbo?

I'd be a fan of the polished bonnet...dunno why but it grabs me

[StanceswithWolves]

Looks good, especially in the second to last pic. Not sure about the hood. The car could definitely use paint though. Those rockers need some attention. I like the wheels though.

Thanks, yeah it didn't see the road until it had the lip, wheels and that kit off, and turbo's on hold, for the 240 I just bought. Making another drift car finally

Thanks man, and I know it does. Its from the molded kit that was on there, and it will be fixed in time.

Nah, I live 2 hrs away. I was in town for a drift event.

please tell me you blew that aero kit up with napalm, just saying

[MadMax]

That Polished Hood is awesome

[TwistedKreation]

Wow I love those blue wheels did you happen to order those from Speedway Motors? Nice miata overall.

[Corifto]

The body kit was left in a backyard to be over-run with grass, before it was sent to the landfill. And the wheels are actually from Summit

[PMcD]

Polished hood is pretty neat!

I really like where this car is going, although I likes the OGs better than the steel wheels. But hell, anything is better than what you bought it like!

Keep it up man.

[MikeG]

nice work!

[Slow_Ballin']

That polished hood is awesome! I was actually thinking of doing that with my trunk, now its been done...

Love the blue 13's, love that you have saved this car from a bleak existence.
