    Thanks for the support guys!

    Alright, so earlier this week, My car pissed oil all over the engine bay and I got a little worried! Luckily it was just a finished PCV valve grommet that caused it so a 5$ new one and all is well! I really would like to get the wrap finished next week to have a car that is one solid color! Went to the local So Clean meet last night and the car was turning a lot more heads than I thought it would, especially being two tone looking half done, and not even being washed!
    But here are a couple photos taken of the car last night:



    And a beautiful miata I fell in love with!

    Looking mean in black, and genuinely well done on getting the car you want so early! I've recently got my 350z at 20 and I thought that was early (in the uk) !

    i never planned on "stancing it" i want to have an aggresive battle mode stance, ready for the street and track!




    haha yeah i have been quite lucky! Well, i made my own luck by seeking great opportunities! You will get your dream car eventually! Do not worry!

Not only that, with a single turbo and 2.5L instead of a twin 2.6, repairs are less expensive and they are apparently more durable. To each their own!
    exactly! I meant they were comparable by my comparison haha just letting some people who question you understand the difference in price between a gts t and a gtr is all. good luck with the build ill keep an eye on it

    Also, for anyone saying "how did he afford this"

    this is a GTS -T, not a GTR. very different car.

    its a still a great car, but i think the easiest way of putting it in comparison is say an S4 vs. an RS4.

    Just to clear some misconceptions here,

    First off, cars are way more expensive up here then in the states, on average if you don't consider the value of our dollar to the U.S. dollar most cars are about 30-40% more here then down there.

    Second off, our pay might be a little more depending on what you do, but we get killed on income tax, in my shitty bracket its more then 30%.

    As for parts, I saved over 60% on 2 items simply by getting them shipped from south of the boarder, and that was from a dealer.

    The only advantage we have is a open import policy on vehicles more then 15 years old,

    So it does not matter if its not smog compliant, or has the wrong head lights or does not meet our crash standards if its older then an 98 its good to go.
