Sup guys, new to the miatas but not to the mod scene. Picked up one a few weeks back as a project car. Something to keep my mind busy when im not doing much. The car is an auto, but w/e its not the first time I've converted an auto to stick so it should be simple!
The car is a 99' silver/black combo. Leather seats, all the major maintenance was done so I didn't have to fork up more money. Just minor fixes which I'm doing slowly.
Few things on the list done already:
-Fixed a nasty coolant leak (old heater hose)
-Fixed an oil leak (seal behind oil cooler)
-Chrome inner door handles
-Power locks install (half way there) & wire it into the alarm
-Auto/Gear selector boogie/loose (replaced bushings, good as new now)
Need to do:
-Replace tranny fluid
-Replace diff fluid
-Replace brake fluid
-Maybe change the rotors and brake pads
-Replace basically all the seals on the head/valve cover area
-New spark plugs
-Get a plug/block off for the antenna (gotta love a clean car)
-SLAM CAR (have springs and coilovers, just need to sit down and do it)
-WHEELS!

No, I go by don't ask, don't tell. No homo.
ah, I see. This car was never going to be really slammed. Just lowered enough to hide some wheel gap, it's a project car I plan to give to my GF to drive around till she goes into med school.
Skins real DEEP, I mean thick. Seems like a fun place to be in, plenty of humor to get me through the day.
I don't really get it but I'm guessing your ghay too?
Yes in deep. You don't consider lowering performance? I'm more concerned about driving with peace of mind and then performance.
Thanks for the advice but I'm pretty sure I can handle this.
Wasn't talking about the Lexus. I like the way the Lexus looks, and it works for that car because as you said, it's not a performance car.
With a lowered Miata it's different. I won't get into the specifics (read in the suspension section) but there are those in the Miata world who care about suspension performance, and those who slam their cars. You just have to figure out which group you belong to.

Mike Tyson is actually extremely quotable. Much more so than Mohammed Ali.
Here:
"I have the same malice in my heart as far as the fight game is concerned, but outside the ring, I won't say anything a dignified man won't say."
"I want to rip out his heart and feed it to Lennox Lewis. I want to kill people. I want to rip their stomachs out and eat their children."
And LOL at "SLVMX5, if that is your real name"
