The smurf: 90 Miata build

[Walnuts]

I was getting really fed up with my stock wheel. The "leather" had started peeling and when it got wet it would get sticky and peel off and just looked like complete butthole. Bought a Grip Royal Class from my buddy for the down low and threw it in. SO MUCH BETTER! It's a little smaller than stock which I don't mind and it makes the car look less thrown together.



Working on getting the uprights built as well as my front lip should be arriving sometime today hopefully "fingers crossed"

Your car is rad.

Gt wings are also rad.

So this is good. And Rad.

Every one likes a parking lot test fit. Not me holding the wing btw.


Need to find someone local who can build me some new uprights.


Going to go junkyard hopping tomorrow to see if I can find a different trunk lid without a rack on it.

Sorry for the instagram filters it's all I have currently of it right after I fixed it.


Fast forward to last saturday May 25th kcdrift put on a drift event. Did pretty decent. It was hard keeping up in tandem vs the higher powered cars with my stock motor but oh well. Here look at some pictures.

After driving at a event with all my new goodies. The welded diff, the new knuckles, and some dunflop dz101s upfront I was in love but was bruised up bad as was my girlfriend so we ordered a pair of buckets.

This is a test fit just sitting in there.


Got one mounted need to build a bracket for the other side as well. (pictures before I cleaned the dirt off the floor it's not rust)





and thats all I have picture of from my camera.

Needless to say I was in love. For some cheap knockoffs they made my car look 100% better in my opinion. I started going out to more shows started getting more involved in drifting. It felt great.


and then it snowed had to put the top down to see outside of my car.


Then I lowered it even more thinking winter was over. Boy was I wrong.



It was about this time I was getting fed up with how unfunctionaly low I was when it came to drifting so I raised it up and got some Danny George angle knuckles and had to raise it up so I could actually use them. I know it's monster trucking but it's settled a bit since then.

Man haven't updated my build in for ever. I'll try to start where I left off.

I was designing some stickers to make the car look more "racecar" and to get some more visitors to our forum. In what was going to be a group of us with matching decals it was only me.



I really enjoyed them for a bit but after a while they grew old so I pulled most of them off and added a few to my windshield for that made tyte jdm hellaflush look.



This whole time my job has been cutting my hours more and more and I couldn't make rent so I had to sell my wheels. Not a big loss but it was looking haggard on the stock daisys so I lowered it more to make myself feel better.



Well that lasted all of a few weeks. I sold a couple things and bought some wheels took some takeoffs I had at the dealership and threw them on.

That fitment is insane!

[Walnuts]

Got some new wheels. Real popular where I live. Had to raise my coils a bit though
