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!

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?

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

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

Because racecor.

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.

pulled some collars off the rear coilovers and almost lit my car on fire. Update soon.

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.

Got some real pictures taken too, so hopefully i'll have something other than iphone pics up soon.

[anti.engineered]

good stuff gutting some height off the coils!

V2lab was maybe one of the most poorly planned events ive been too. had a blast though.

Yeah, thats the plan. Although I do want 16's so it'll be harder to find. I know there a lot of redrilled ones. I found original 4x100 ones and they were asking an arm and a leg.

Few shots with something better than an iPhone camera... kinda... from v2Lab








On the drive home from my friends apartment last night I got a nail in my tire and my clutch slave went out Fixed the slave and getting the nail patched tomorrow. why do these things happen together!
