1990 Miata Meow

[Chuckdee]

Great progess so far, op!

[Meow]

well suppose I should update this. Im back stateside and well the progress has gone into full swing

start with where i left off

(roughly March/April)

Well guys it's been awhile. I got moved to Afghanistan and well getting on the internet is a bitch....anyways

I have some updates from my buddies back home in the states

Had some maintenance on my valve cover seal






And that's pretty much it. I'm almost done with what i want to do with the car.

It will be getting a real paint job in July & my planet-miata side skirts will be mounted along with the long list of parts mentioned above.




---

Now i've got a completely different plan for the car once i get back this summer. No longer going to Turbo it, or pretty much add speed lol. I'm buying a 1990 BMW E30 325is when i get home (and no i'm not going to "slam" it or boost it or anything. It's got 90,000 original miles and comes with a back-up engine (M25) and transmission. I plan on that being my OEM reliable car (not that miata won't be) but you know.

Anyways guys you'll be seeing me around this summer and hope you'll enjoy

later

July 11th:



Okay without any more delay I'm back stateside for about 2 weeks now. Finished the year long deployment and ready to jump in on the miata finally.

Small updates so far

Added the IL motorsport square lights


Miata Garage by Ryan.C.Davis, on Flickr

tweaked the rear coils some more





dropped it about 1.5"

and getting the body parts, not on the vehicle right now, to the body shop for paint

big changes coming. Also the Bride seats and seat brackets didn't work, i was too tall (no pun intended) to fit with them so I need to sell those off as well.

still have the Skid plate to install, and couple other little things.

will try to keep this updated

So it's Mars Red (variant C) for Hyundai vehicles but I think it turned god damn great. Couldn't be happier

[Strawhat]

You going to Import Alliance?
Super clean car!

[RubbderDucky]

Loving it man.

[FunfGang]

Woah. Paint totally changed the look of this thing! Beautiful.

[Brimmy]

Holy crap that colour! Epic!

[Meow]

Thanks guys, yeah love the color. kind of a last second decision but glad with the way it turned out

as far as Import Alliance I may go but it depends if I honestly feel like spending $20 to go to an event

[Meow]

starting to put everything back together. i have a bent drivers side hood hinge is why those lines are not matching up, and the bottom fender bolt is not in. Gotta go find some wood to get a jack underneath.
