DD project beater

when i first picked up this 1997 it came with a hardtop, rollbar, and 258k miles. The first change was to sadly to sell the hardtop and put on the soft top from my basement. It was a beat softtop that i took off of my old one before i crashed it. I had a bunch of fun stuff on that one but that was given away to the tow company, not by my choice unfortunately. So starting fresh on my new $600 miata i got some decent door speakers and amp. The headrest speakers were already aftermarket along with the radio. Creature comforts out of the way i got a set of twisted spoke miata rims with mixed tires that i plan to change come spring.
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1390661466 Picture is right before i got rid of the hardtop. I put poly bushings in most of the control arms, i still have to do the rear lowers because the makeshift tool i was using broke. My future plans are upgrading my brakes to the vw corrados and sport rears with some carbotech pads in a week or so, then onto suspension. I haven't settled on what suspension to get, the consensus is xidas or nothing but xida cs are $2300 which is difficult to rationalize for a $600 car. I have a MS2 waiting to go in along with new injectors and aem uego but no turbo so they keep waiting until i get some motivation or win the lottery. |
Looks like a pretty straight car for six bills (close to free w/ hardtop sale?)
Wish my $1k '90 was that clean, at least no rust! I don't know what xida's are but they sound a bit expensive depending on your goal? I'm a Koni sport and GC guy myself, but my goal was balanced track/autox use... |

Your rack looks like every drop of your oil shot out of that hole in the pan... Buy some degreaser.
