  • 1990 Miata Meow

    What's up guys...Gonna start the build thread here and track the progress.

    Bare with me due to the fact im 7,900 miles away from home right now and have my best friend in the states working on my miata and taking pictures for me. I come home in December for 2 weeks so i'll have better pictures and probably a lot more progress.

    Bought the car off craigslist



    **Not my house haha this is the pic off craigslist when i bought it**


    Pretty much everything done to it was the way i bought it so far
    --Sportmaxx rims 8 X 15 0 offest
    --Powdercoated Valve Cover
    --Cat delete (for some reason...)
    --Fender Roll kind of (gotta redo that)
    --According to my buddy it has cut springs....so replacing those with D2 coils
    --Small windshield Crack
    --Roll Bar (idk the brand)





    Side View.



    Engine Bay.



    Interior. (needs a lot of work)

















    Okay enough pictures i think you get the idea....But i'm really visual when it comes to pictures so when i get back to the States then be ready for hopefully step by step shit. Im still learning a lot about these cars and that's why i don't post much. I spend a lot of free time reading through different builds and whatnot rather than posting double questions like "Are Racelands worth it?" cos i know that stuff gets blown the hell out.


    So far I've ordered a new hardtop, misc interior parts that were missing, voodoo shift knob, Headlight door for the bent up drivers side, Rear panel since it was cracked as well, D2 Coilovers are being ordered Tuesday, NRG D-Shaped Steering wheel w/ NRG quick release system, Shorty antenna, and some other little misc stuff.

    Most likely won't see track time or anything, just a stylish DD and im sure i'll catch **** on that too but whatever

    ....ehh you know this stuff will change with time so i'll add that or whatever.

    In the meantime this is what i drive overseas..im tall lanky giraffe on the left.




    look forward to gaining some more info along the way. And any Charlotte people on here hit me up when i go on Vacation in December i'd like to check some of your rides out.

    Later

                  Tell you one thing though....the body is shit haha. Needs a lot of tlc along with the interior. I should have got it lower that what was asked. but hey just gotta move forward....
