Awesome build so far! Got me thinking more about what I'm doing to my Miata... Quick question though: What's the offset on those BBS's?

I'm running 15x9 no-name wheels with 0 offset. Aggressive as $&#%! Running the same exact tires (S-Drive 195/50/15). Problem is: they rub. I've even got ghetto-flaired fenders, and they rub. They rub the actual metal on the back of the arch, the moment you turn the wheel.

Any bit of offset will definitely fix it -- I think you need like 20 or 30mm offset to clear the 195/50's.

Got the rear wheels torqued down today and a little test fit

So fucking happy with them. "Yeah, but BBS RMs are so played out...why are you doing them? should have gotten different wheels" well shut up, I'm fucking stoked to own some.

picked the BBS RMs up from the paint shop, really happy on how they came out I'll post pics when I get the Dimple Rings back and the centers painted.

I've got oil in the engine as of today, all the old fuel has been drained, Coolant ready to go in, and I am about to get rid of Power Steering I think, I broke a bolt head on the part that tightens the belt to the harmonic balancer....So I'm debating on whether I will just removed the P/S or not.

Only wire that remains to be grounded is the starter, and I am going to go buy a new battery since the old one I have has been inactive for the past 4-5 months.

Damn I hope I get this thing started before next weekend

Until next time

Well I still suck and haven't really made any new progress, blah blah busy with school blah blah first world problems, but I finally did something that I've been pushing to the last second.

The radiator is in along with the fan shroud and fans (finally wired it up last night) No pics as of now.


But I went to the local pull a part (Charlotte people if you need any engine parts for a 90-93 there is white 1991 miata on row 108) and found a 1995 lexus LS400 which has the same wiring harness connecter that I needed for the Throttle Postion Sensor on the AE101 Throttle Bodies
