So i figured id just post some of the progress my miata has gone through in the first year of my ownership.

it started out as a fairly clean 1990 mariner blue miata. I have not touched the suspension, motor, or interior, it has all been done by the previous owners.

So far ive added a Garage Vary front lip, Sportmax002 15x8 +0 with shitty street tires, and my uber sweet jdm domo guy.

Next on the list is a beefier clutch, because this one is about ready to go. after that, ive been shopping around for coil overs and im pretty sure im going to pick up some fortunes, or order something through sage auto.

after thats done, im going to source a spare motor, and just rebuild that to oem spec.







those pictures are from the first 2 days i had the car.

after i believe a week, i had the car out in pungo auto-xing, i did respectable, taking second in my class, vs kriswith@k, who took first




after about 9 months i picked up the wheels with toyo proxies (for sale btw)




















and this is how the ol slut looks now, faded paint needing a much needed waxing, and a good drop to set it off.

the last picture is not me, but my buddy shawn, he used to have a NA, but he sold it. i hate him now.
