welcome

what picture host are you using? it seems to happen with photobucket more than anything.

you hit it right on the head, photosuckit. i would just go upload my pictures to my flikr, but my hard drive took a dump on my comp, and all of the dope miata's ive saved over the past 1~year or so are GONE.

but for now, the car club im part of http://www.sumospeed.com/?page_id=174

and the local forum i post on, my progress thread http://vadriven.com/forums/showthread.php?t=314163

I heart roadsters!

skinny, i gotta say, i <3 yours, its such a awesome NA. i love just about any NA, NB's are alright, and i disown any NC owner

NBs are mega hot and Nate has a mad proper NC

If it won't let you post the image it means you're using either the wrong link, or there is a variable at the end of the URL. When you're in your PB account, either grab the link with the [IMG] tags, or use the direct link and paste it between said tags, but make sure it ends in .jpg or .gif or whatever, and not random numbers or symbols.

Welcome.

ive started to like NB's more and more, but i love flip ups! i came from 3 240sx (coupe, hatch, and vert) {all while i was 16} and idk, NC's just dont do it for me, while nate does have a proper nc, its the front end and the bloated look that kill it for me




on all the other forums, i just get the url by right clicking the pic, and getting it from properties. idk though, thanks though!

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.

wtf? why does my name say geantk? registering from a itouch=fail!

ill fix it, you want Grantk? or Grant?

y is that na monster trukin

my car is so high in that picture!

na looks good, but lowwwer it

welcome, i think ive seen your car on a 240sx forum somewhere. i remember the front shot w/the car next to that brick wall. good work, but needs moar low

GrantK please and thank you




its slowly gotten lower and lower, just from the wear on the shocks/springs, its how it came, and i just havent gotten around to buying coilovers, i have the money, but not the time, i work 60-70 weeks.



alot of my car friends post on 240sx forums, so i wouldnt be suprised if they posted it, ive only posted it on miata.net and vadriven. and yes, i want it lower, it will come with time

fixed for you sir

clean miata. you can go ahead and give me your hardtop and R trunk spoiler, kthx

the man, the ledgend, duuuurty hairy! haha but on my local forum, your car is always admired, and while i would like to to dump the miata as low as yours, va, well virginia beach has horrible roads, and the high ways have mini mountains on them, so ill get low here soon, seeings how i finially took a second job with my buddy who owns a shop, so coils and wheels are on the way soon. also, i hate you for getting the same ssr's ive had my eye on forever. i hate every miata owner who get's ssr's. ill trade the hard top+ spoiler, for your coils and wheels, meet you half way?

jk, but i really am getting coils and prolly some low offset ssr's mk1's or 2's, seeings how i will be getting them at cost

welcome omod!!!

thanks man. glad you like my polished turd lol. if you were local i would consider trading for the hardtop and spoiler, but you're not and they're blue. im kinda over my wheels though, wanna try something new.

I'm not a fan of red but your car does it! Haha I would never sell the ht. It's the only way I would own a miata. That and I stay hard 24/7
