My 225 50 15's come in from ups today

 

imo, its only ricer if it stays unpainted. But needs turbo for those annoying ricers that you will attract.

 

Only needs turbo for me. Ricers dont bother me and they pretty much are non existent around where I live anymore. They've all grown up and the newer generation doesnt have the fast and the furious to look up to and make them looks stupid by following it. That and the fact that most kids nowadays couldnt care less for cars anymore. Its kind of sad actually

 

I whipped out Faefloras favorite tool of choice to cut the fenders. Goin to get em welded tomorrow and then i can put on the 225 tires. Body work starts tomorrow....

 

You put the same rims on all your cars? :P

 

So ... Wouldn't a sheet metal nibbler have been a bit more precise?

 

Forum picture of the year. Aside from the bodywork in my nat asp **** thread.

 

Shoulda wiped your spooge off the other car before you took the pic. Just sayin'.

 

high comp without e85.....gl with that

 

Thats rudys car (Rudes333 on here). He has the same wheels.

Yup but I figured Id channel some Faefail for this. Ended up using an air cut off wheel to finish the cuts up yesterday

Meh, this is the ugly time for the car. No point cleaning anything for pics now

Did it before with zero issue.


Yesterday I had Ryan (gdnimrod) weld up the fenders proper.


A little teaser for the side mirrors. I know these will be polarizing in taste but I like em. I was a bit worried when I ordered them because I was unsure if theyd go with the car but they ended up working out. They are super light too and for 30 bucks, Im happy.


I got my new tires.


Ill get some pics up of them mounted later on. Today Im going to try to finish these god forsaken tail lights. I feel like I almost bit off more than I could chew with these but Ive made great progress with them. Theyll be worth it once they are done.

 

these tail lights have been such a huge pain to work on but im too far into them to just let them collect dust and not finish them. Hopefully I can have them done by the end of this week

 

Ive got so much more work to do but this is how they sit as of last night

 

225's fill out the fenders nicely although im going to put in a spacer to make the rears flush

 

That looks good. I think once all the body work is done and the car is painted it will look really good.

 

Ah and color. Its going to be Silica Blue Pearl.

 

Love the colour!

 

Totally changes the look of the car. Doesn't even resemble a Miata anymore...

 

I know right. Its amazing how it looks like it has 4 doors now...

 

Actually from what I am seeing now, its "Plasma Blue Pearl"

 

Looks similar to ur old cars color with less purple
