  • Marley the Miata

    I've been looking around this sight for the past few years and I've decided to post my little build

    It all started when I bought my first car at the age of 16. It was a 2000 Ford Fukus that I bought for $2200 from some German dude with 85k miles.



    I then went threw a weird euro jdm and rice plastidip phase

    I bought a roofrack and some eyelids





    Here's some of the blacked out phase, I thought I was soooo cool haha







    Then I got some new wheels, they were xxr 962's 17x8 front 17x9 rear, I know I know staggered wheels on a fwd car, just dumb right?





    Well a friend offered me double off what I payed so I sold that S*** ASAP

    I then got svt 5 spokes and lowered the car 2.2 inches on Megan springs









    At this point I thought I was Slammed.... Haha right?

    This is the last pic of my car before sold everything and traded it for.....




    Miata! I straight traded my focus stock for a 1999 Miata with 110k miles





    It's already lowered on flyin Miata springs and adjustable shocks
    I bought new wheels ( apparently rare) Jdm Enkei 98 2 piece wheels 15x8

    I've started to relishing them but still haven't decided what color to go? ( and ideas would help)





    And that's it for now, I'm now 19 in college on a college budget but coilovers are on the way!

    Future plans
    -Raceland coilovers
    -hardtop
    -rollbar
    -hardtop lip
    -and some kind of front lip

            Ignore everyone elses advice, and buy cheap ass racelands.

            remove everything spin them down.
            profit??

                    cant really tell the color of the miata. a dark green or dark greenish blue?

                    i would suggest silver centers or maybe even white, would look really clean!
