Nice looking MSM! Miata's ftmfw, can't wait to see you dump it!
I'm trading my mazda3 in / selling it sometime late summer for an NA or NB miata so I can turbo and stance it

Just get a used MSM, so that way you don't have to turbo it.....you only have to stance it!!!

but that's lots of monies

Not really. I got mine used for about $15,000 after taxes & tags.

Ordered the wheels & lugnuts.

Decided to go with 16"x8" +20 XXR 521's in matte black. I plan on "correcting" the offset via Project Kics 20mm wide tread spacers. Lugnuts are black Muteki super tuner lugs.

Also, I made a blog to document my build. Feel free to check it out and become a follower

18 days and you still havent installed the coils?

WTF!

WTF!

Fenders aren't rolled. Fender liners haven't been pulled yet. And i'm still on the donk status 17"s at the moment.

Yes, I ordered the coilovers first, but I still gotta prep the rest of the car before installing them. I'm waiting to do everything all in one full swoop. Patience is key here.......lol.

Aren't those wheels stock? I highly doubt any fender work is necessary with stock wheels.

What wheels? The wheels in the picture? Yeah those are the stock Racing Hart/Mazdaspeed 17"s. They're 17"x7" +ALOT w/ 205/40/17 tires. But I don't plan on slamming it on the stock wheels. For now I just enjoy tossing the car around on the weekend without having to worry about ripping the bottom of it off....lol. Plus I have my annual family vacation coming up in July, which is about 450 miles each way, and I promised my parents I would let them see the car in person BEFORE I change it up. I'm just gonna wait until I get the rest of the stuff I need (at this point that's only tires, spacers & hub centric rings) and then put it all on at once. And I will definitely need a roll/removed liners to run the 16"x8" +0. Doesn't sound too extreme I know......but i've been talking with all the stance veterans over on ClubRoadster.net and they seem to know what they are talking about.

Don't worry my friend. It'll be sitting correctly come August or my name isn't OSSHWA!

My cheap-o wheels have arrived!

I think they're gonna look great with the color of my car, and @ $104 a piece and weighing in at 16lbs a piece, I think they were a pretty decent investment.

Some nice pick ups, I cant wait to see it slammed.

[poker!!]

hey dude your build is looking good. if you decide to go jline go is big as you can, and take my word, i ordered my jlines over two monthes ago, and still waiting.

[xBee_Ryy]

It's August

Update as of 8/7/2010

Well StanceWorks, I think it's about time for an update. My two jobs have kept me super busy, so I haven't even driven the Miata much lately let alone do anything modification wise.

But here is what i've been doing/acquiring in my spare time.

Track Dog front splitter (installing on Sunday)



Got all four fenders rolled this afternoon. Dude did an awesome job!



And i'm not sure if I shared the pictures of my new wheels/tires, but just in case I didn't here ya go. 16"x8 +20 XXR 521's w/ 205/40/16 Falken Ziex ZE-512's. I'll be pairing these up with a set of 20mm Ichiba spacers.





Just waiting on my spacers/extended studs to come in and then everything else is going on! I'll definitely provide pics of the finished product.
