'95 JapRod-miata

[willshaffer]

Yoooo so update.

Got really tired of the hight I was at in the rear, so I decided to pull apart my coils.







Got it lowered down to a right hight





Driving home rubbed like crazy. Poured smoke, took about 30 minutes to go 2 miles. Didn't have anyway to roll the fenders at my friends parking garage where we were working, so i had to make it home.
The Damage:





Got to rollin.... baseball bat



And I'm pretty happy with how it sits now. Just need a 10 mil for the front and to steal a power drill someone to put on my freaking r lip.

Damn, this Miata looks amazing. Most of the Miatas around here in Jacksonville are either drift nasties or the hella-functional guys. Nice to see a really clean and low one. Who needs function anyway?

Who else is going to V2Labs/Simply Clean 6?!

I'll be at SC6 in my Integra. Won't be a show car, just spectator. I'm getting new tires and replacing a wheel, so I can't make it to V2.

yes, roll bar first. because safety, or something.

Because racecor.

Safety.... lowered, no airbags, soft top, no horn.... safety.....

Taking a quick poll for the next mod:
>Hard-dog roll bar/harness bar thing
>intake/header/exhaust
>Hardtop
This is sorta in the order that I want to do things, also in order from least expensive to more.
If I did the hard-dog, id go ahead and look into seats/harnesses next. Your thoughts?

Damn look at that stud

God this car is so cool, I want RS's so badly..

Thanks man! You can find them for cheap, you just have to have to patience to rebuild them. Either way they turn out to be a money pit haha. I bought the wheels for about 1400, but after it was all said and done they've cost me 2800+. But thats with tires, and not accounting for the old parts that I sold off of them.

Also another update, Got an r-spec lip and I'm also going to be at V2 Lab in downtown orlando sunday, as well as in the show lot for Simply Clean. Say hey if you see me!

Cant wait to see some more of this build

I love it! Maybe a spacer up front, but i LIKE!

I have a 20 mil that i was going to try and "make fit" but it's just wayyyyy to much. 10 would be money. so....
>who wants to trade spacers? haha
