Project "Midnite Runner" Miata - Build Thread
Hey guys. I'm a long time user of the forum. I don't comment or post much. I mostly use the forum for research, buy and sell. Anyway, I just wanted to start my build thread here. I understand some you may not like my car, or whatever. I don't care.
About 10 years ago. Bought my Miata for $1100, running car with rocker rust. The previous owner bought brand new NC (keep in mind, NC was the new miata at the time) I drove the car stock for about 3-4 years. I kept it stock, mainly because I had other car projects, and didn't want to dump money into. It was a great, and reliable car. Never had any problems.
## Also, I apologies for not being more detail about the build, this was yearsssss ago, and I didn't' have a full log of everything. ##
The first day I bought her.
The only thing I did was maintenance, and swap to a borbet wheels.
A few years later. I got into racing, and autoX. Only then, I've decide to mod the car a bit more:
Fast forward, I've decide to fix the rocker rust. And while i'm at it, decide to paint the car as well. The car was painted about 3-4 times (you will see this at a later post). This was painted indoor in a garage.
