yay!

I was looking at hardbody race trucks, and I though about your truck when I saw.



Ever thinking of going with a livery once the stance, body, and engine are all dialed in?


Oh yeah, Tomei started making parts for the KA24de now if you are interested.

Some small updates. So I plan on running aluminum door panels and ive always wanted those door loops instead of handles. Well im a avid Mighty Car Mods watcher and I had a lanyard of theirs and it broke so I made door loops out of it. MADDDDD!


Also finally finished priming my engine bay, so it will be painted soon!

Last page needs more pictures and less chit chat!

Looking good OP, agreed about the fender comment, they can look swell!

More chit chat, thanks haha

I want to see the truck finished D:

But, if working on the miata floats your boat, more power to you.

As of right now I'm working 7 day work weeks so I'm gonna save asking as possible to start buying things for the truck again

OK so basically most of my friends I hang out with drive s2000, which in return has made me very fond of my little roadster. So what im trying to say is im putting some money into it, to make it even more fun little car, but the truck will still be my main focus. Thoughts, comments, concerns? haha

Lol just buy a new one, Dat discount homie!

Meh. I can get mine turned for free. Less weight than a new one as well haha.

[TheCrabMaster]

Meh. Ill just get mine turned some at work and throw it back in there. The d21 fw is a little larger which is why 240 guys swap to the truck unit. Oh whale.

Not that ive seen, if I remember correctly the 240 and rb20 flywheels are the same bolts but different sizes. Probably could get a machine shop to cross drill one

That's what I've decided after lots of research to run. We can get a six puck ptq clutch set at work for right at $200, lifetime warranty, so that's that. Is there any lightweight flywheel that you know of that will bolt up to that trans/clutch combo?

whoa, big parts list, have you actually left the miata alone or is it already dumped lol?



another option could be to find a link that has a ball joint on one end and a bushing on the other end, I know they exsist, not sure if theres one long enough, you could always extend one (assuming you dont merk the joint when welding)

I believe s14s have that style link in the front or rear (or both)

Haha the Miata is basically the same, wheels got painted and valve cover got painted. Did some maintenance. But other than that its the same, thou im getting a header back exhaust this week ! Yeah ill cross that road when I get there. Coilovers and 4 link will be done first thou.
