--My '96 Miata : The Road to Victory--

And today...
-----
Last night I went about installing the MSPNP, which was very straight-forward, BUT my MacBook Pro wouldn't connect to the ECU. :cry2: I was afraid of that (even though I could open the tuning software and all), so I just hooked the stock ECU back up and left the MS next to it, since my passenger seat is out while I transport my wheels and tires to work.
After that, I hopped on the interweb and paid for a new netbook and disc drive, which I picked up from Best Buy today.
Needless to say...

...it was a success! Sorry for the darkness. I just went and hooked it all back up for a quick pic. Haha

So now that is crossed off of the list! : Progress FTW.

A couple of random responses there... Haha
Sorry for the lack of updates! I got the coils installed a few days ago, but I've been waiting until my Work lugs arrive so I can put the wheels on and take pics. Luckily, the lugs arrive on Thursday, and I'm off of work.
The car is SO much more fun to drive with the coils. I can't wait to see how the new wheel/tire setup feels on it!

Updates !!??

Really want to see what this looks like.....

Need updates! Whats up with the TüV sign on the package of those coils!? Are these Tüv approved?

They are, indeed! According to the box, at least.

Now then, the lugs arrived today, so I threw the wheels on right away! I can definitely dig it for a 'performance-oriented' setup. It was cold and the car is nasty as shit (snowed yesterday), so I just took a few SUPER quick iPhone pics. Makes the car look cleaner, after all. But it certainly gets the point across! I still need to do a tiny bit of fine tuning with the ride height, but I'm pretty happy with it at the moment. They fit better than expected, as well!
Now I'm curious to see what a 14x10" -13 will fit like.
Still waiting for the front lips to be back in stock, so that should make a BIG difference.

MOAR LOWZ. But really tis lookin good!

MOAR LOWZ. But really tis lookin good!

Haha, thanks. I'll get it a hair lower, but it won't be crazy low for a good while.
It's definitely fun to drive, though, so I can live with it!

gotta love how much hardtops set off a miata. great looking car man

[austindavidg]

I need a hard top.....and some wheels.....and a turbo.....and a job

[06tiburonofdoom]

Haha, thanks guys.
Well, a couple of little updates... I dropped my car off to get a few things fixed up and painted two Wednesdays ago, and since I found a few flaws when I was SUPPOSED to pick it up, I should have it by the end of the week. I despise not having my Miata...
It's still not going to be done exactly to my liking (I'm IMPOSSIBLE to please when it comes to paintwork), but since it was a family friend that we get a lot of business for, I didn't pay anything for the work being done. So it'll do until I get a full respray!

Also, I've been on a wheel buying rampage lately, so if I'm stupid with my money, I might end up with a set of Star Sharks and/or Techno Phantoms pretty soon. I need to try to say no, though, due to other projects (Tiburon revamp!)... We'll see.

Other than that, a buddy and I are going to do a bit of an overhaul pretty soon to get most of the new parts installed, as well as all maintenance possible. I REALLY wish R-package lips would get back in stock at the retailer I'm wanting to purchase from...

But I'll get some new pics up once I have the car back and I quit being a little bitch about it not being absolutely perfect in every way possible. Haha

I love the 14in Enkei's they look like a wider width because of the offset.

[06tiburonofdoom]

ALRIGHT! I finally picked up the car today, after getting a few things fixed up and painted, so I snapped a few pics. It's a little dirty from the wetsanding and buffing (especially the tires), but it gets the point across. I'm going to try to lower it a bit more over the next week or so, as well.
