Welp, I decided to start a build thread to keep track of my progress with my 95m
It all began in August when I got laid off from work and was forced to sell My 2007 Civic Si to pay the bills.
That's when the search began for a fun and cheap car. I narrowed it down to a miata or a 240sx, which ever would pop up first for a good price.
In October while browsing craigslist I found her. She needed some TLC badly. Seller was asking for 2200, but I offered 1200 and he accepted. Thus began my journey with my new pride and joy.
Here she was when I first took her home completely stock.
The soft top was torn, the brakes were all gone, the fender was crashed, the interior was dirty as hell due to the torn top. It had a cracked tail light.. It was bad.
Anyway, I got started with bringing her back to life
>flushed all fluids
>changed spark plugs/wires
>replaced thermostat
>replaced broken tail light
>replaced crashed fender
>new soft top
>axis brake pads front and back
After all of the maintenance I realized how much I love the car and started working on looks and performance.
>Yokohama S. drives
>Tein S tech springs on KYB shocks
>adjusted timing to 14
>Rep GV front lip
>removed AC
And here is a video of my first Time Attack in the miata. That day I learned how much more I love RWD than FWD :lol:
This past week or two I've picked up a couple of other things.
I picked up a Nardi steering wheel from a 93 s-limited because I'm JDM as FACK :woolery:
A couple of days ago I picked up a Hard Dog Sport bar from a member on here. As crafty as his bar was decorated I didn't feel it suited my car well, so I went with a traditional look.
from unique
to bland.. during the installation
After an annoying 5-6 hours, I finally got the bar installed, Ill update tomorrow with Pictures of the finished product.
