hey there guys. i havent been on here for quite some time. long enough that i figured i should reintroduce myself. last time i had a slammed e28, but now i roll in a mod-slammed miata. i wont bother with a build sheet now cuz im posting on my playbook but ill show yiu some pics.


here was my old e28




and this is how my mx5 currently sits. she's away for the winter. i planned for many gifts for her, but i ended up buying presents for my family and friends instead sad.gif









and the driver



i got it bone stock from the original owner. low mileage 1990 rust free. couldn't ask for more!

You know what? I couldn't agree more.

Once my car came up to vancouver, from the dry south (a few years ago) it suffered from the 1990 white paint problem. So it started to flake off In lots of places. And since we all know that primer loves to absorb water, I just covered up the bare spots with houndstooth duct tape. But do not fret, Im currently saving up for a full strip and respray In the spring. Oem white of course! But Im thinkin of getting flares and stuff first, so I dont have as much poke. Im maxed out for camber In the rear. 15x9.5 et-6 with 195/45/15.

She's a work In progress, but Well On her way

Welcome, welcome.

How much camber do you have in the rear? If you don't mind me asking. Because that doesn't look maxed out to me, well from the last pic. I was actually able to squeeze out -7 out back w/o mods. I think it's because my rear's were lower too, so that could be it.

yeah i had more when i first put them on, but im not as slammed as i would like to be. but my underground parking has a horrendous driveway (my stock '01 civic scrapes) so i physically cannot go lower unless i park on the street. that being said, i plan to go a bit lower but i'll have to do something about the exhaust. im not slammed slammed, but i still scrape on a flat road sad.gif

***edit*** i figured out why i had more camber, i had a heavy ass dual 12" sub box in the trunk with the subs in there. but then i made a custom lightweight box with a single 12 so i removed like 70lbs

this is what it is right now.



this is what it was before. those are the only ass shots. i parked her for the winter only like 2 weeks after the wheels went on or something.

Your E28 was awesome! So is the Miata.
kfed
Yeah your exhaust looks like it sits low, tuck that shit.. Not too much of a job wink.gif

Yeah I have the race land headers with a corksport drift cat back. Although its a nice full stainless 2.5", the resonator just sits naturally now. Mine is dented flat, as well as everyone else's. I've got poly hangers and stuff, but the only way now is to cut and make new hangers welded to the exhaust. Might as well go full custom.

I like your wheels.

Welcome

Good to know I'm not the only one that uses duct tape to cover paint chips. Good looking car!
