I think it is time to create a part out thread
 
So I've been driving a 2000 Miata for a little more then half a year now. I have to say, it's a bit different from NA Miatas.

What has been done so far:

Suspension:
  • SD revalved Bilsteins $800
  • 550 lbs/in front springs, 400 lbs/in rear springs $200
  • FCM bump stops $100
  • ISC top hats (yet to install front ones) $75
  • RB hollow front sway bar $100
  • ES bushings all around, except for differential $100
  • New tie rods (inner and outer) $50
  • BF frame rails $100

Drivetrain / Brakes / Wheels / Tires:
  • '01 6 speed $800
  • 4.10:1 Type 1 Torsen $600
  • F1 Racing clutch and flywheel (yeah, I know...) $200
  • New hubs & bearings all around (yet to install) $100
  • "JDM" motor (installed by previous owner) $800
  • FM 4-wheel big brake kit (should be here by Thursday or Friday) $900
  • Braided clutch line $750
  • TSE brake cooling kit $100
  • 15" x 7" XXR w/ 205/50/15 Falken 912's (daily driving) $800
  • 15" x 8" second generation 6UL's (will be used for daily driving soon) $800
  • 225/45/15 RS3's (new daily tires) $300
  • 205/50/15 NT01's (track tires) $400

Interior / Exterior / Safety:
  • Hard top
  • Resprayed the car GM silver (looks slightly better in my opinion and it was decently inexpensive)
  • Blackbird Fabworx 4-point single diagonal roll bar
  • "Bride" driver seat
  • 3" 6-point harness
  • Planted seat base and side mounts

Turbo (collecting parts):
  • Chinacharger
  • 530cc EV14 injectors
  • DIY manifold / down pipe (still unsure about this)


I should mention that I'm changing my suspension setup a little bit. SD is sending me a new set of Bilsteins valved to 400/350 and slightly changed curve to accomodate for shitty pavement I have to drive on every day.

I am calling dibs on the TSE brake cooling kit.


We need some pictures to see how it all looks.

I figured they were too big for embedding :)

This one is a keeper. Will be selling few parts that I'm not using soon enough.

viperormiata Sep 18, 2012 06:44 PM

How much for the 6UL's?

Edit: Oh wait, this really isn't a part out thread, lol

UrbanSoot Sep 18, 2012 10:31 PM

No part outs. Because fuck you, that's why.

soviet Sep 18, 2012 11:04 PM

you should really, really do the diff bushings. it's like viagra for your drivetrain - makes it stiffer than ever.

pusha Sep 18, 2012 11:43 PM

Which bushings are the best bushings?

UrbanSoot Sep 19, 2012 02:39 PM

I think I want to stick to OEM bushings. It's a daily driver :)

Braineack Sep 19, 2012 03:34 PM

I love my moderators.

Joe Perez Sep 19, 2012 03:58 PM

Haha. And here I figured you were the one what done it. :D

Savington Sep 19, 2012 04:00 PM

I lol'd IRL @ title change. :rofl:

nope, but whoever did should get a raise.

Joe Perez Sep 19, 2012 04:07 PM

So, double nothing is still nothing, right?

Dammit! Was hoping to get in on some partout goodness :mad:

Do the MazdaComp diff bushings. I installed them when I put in my Torsen and they helped A LOT over the stock ones and are no where near uncomfortable for a DD.
