thanks, and yeah i hadn't really heard of this happening before. Airbag technology was probably pretty shitty in the mid 90's anyway

So this sorta turned into a bigger pain than i thought, more details tomorrow.

So more on my fender brace install...
Turned out to be a bit more confusing than i thought and did a lot of unnecessary work on the first side. In order to get the fender off, you have to take part of the bumper off to get at one bolt,



Fenders off... dat stance...



Had to drill a whole in the inside of the fender there... never done that before so i kinda just went for it with the drill my dad had laying around.



To fit this in there



Anyway once its all back together and with both sides on the results are pretty astounding. Everything feels much tighter and solid. Took away a lot of rattles and everything is less harsh, in the way that not as many things move around over bumps. Steering is a lot more direct and has more feeling than normal. which is a lot because this is a miata haha. Anyway, still need to order some freakin lips.

Im in need of a daily with a 5k budget. I now really want a miata. Love the color and the steering wheel!

So, after searching through every page of every forum ever (exagerration but you know what i mean) i found a great deal on a set of RS's that happened to be in my state. drove through the night to pick them up...

Skyway?
Nice build man, love the color!!!

I like this thing. It's making me seriously consider selling my wagon and buying one of these things.

Got those on with the help of my Good friend Austin, who has experience with the upper control arm bolt which is a REAL PITA.

Damn, looks like you've already been through a lot with this car.

Good luck with everything else. Sub'd and curious to see where it goes.

Thanks man, yeah once I get my wheels sorted it'll start moving quickly. In the middle of moving to orlando for school so things are about to slow down. After wheels, I'm going to clean up some of the paint, then do hardtop I guess or maybe a lightened fly-wheel and some exhaust work. Not sure where i want to go after that. I like the look of the hardtop, but that's such a large amount of money and i like being able to throw the top down haha.

[willshaffer]

Ok so split the other Rs's and the car is raised and on all stock wheels. Moving to orlando in two days, living in an apartment with no where to work on anything so wish me luck and expect slow progress. But anyway, any Orlando homies out there, hit me up! (also selling og bbs rs hardware)
