Not exactly the honda scene...:D

Good looking build.

Someone really needs to get around to unblocking the word ********.

:ugh2:

Did you really think you were the only one? If you ever attended any Cart CT or FCSCC Auto X events, there are two other turbo Miata's floating around.

Btw cars do get stolen in CT. Especially around Waterbury, Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven, etc. Maybe not so much Miatas, but I have seen alot of Hondas over the years.

At the last Honda-Tech meet at Marcus Dairy in Danbury:giggle:, two cars were stolen afterwards. I dont go to those meets, but a couple friends of mine did. I only have one Honda now. It's bone stock and thats the way its staying.

Word, the car looks amazing so try not to use 1000 shims on a link, make it a little nicer. More on par with the rest of the car. And that nut looks like its ready to back off.

I think it was just a test fitting. I'm sure the final outer tie-rod to knuckle fitting will look great.

Sweet, I didn't know anyone else with a painted GV lip. Is it just the lighting or is there a lift kit on yours?

CTDRIFTNA - Badass build!! Props on doing the machining yourself!

yeah i never got around to taking a pic of the final spacers, i made nice aluminum ones with radiused ends so they dont bind

What did you do here in the floorboard?

I wouldn't be too sure about that... my buddy Pat had his turbo Escort stolen from in front of his apartment in Waterbury... a week after we pulled the motor.

Fucking crackheads in that town.

the wheels and fenders are gay as fuck, but the rest of the car is cool...especiallythe interior.

OP: Did you flow that head BEFORE the port work, by chance?

Theres a big surprise. Never saw it coming.. ;):jerkit:

Nice looking car, don't like the flares or wheels, though.

Looks like you did good work. Wonder what the weight savings is and how the stiffness compares to factory unibody.

I love reading on this drift shit, always makes for a good laugh. I love the "its driving your car right on the edge" arguments. Ive never understood ********, but if thats your thing, good luck. It kind of reminds me of the whole fast and the furious street racing scene that was big when the first movie came out. Everyone and their brother had a wing and euro lights on their civic and farted around town trying to race each other. Still see some left overs today. Yes I know the bullshit history of ********, I dont want to hear it again.

car looks really good like the build question.. i'm too lazy to read the whole thread but have you drifted before...

Sick build up. Awesome car.

Lol@ the pages of ******** hate. Its one thing to hate on some dumb kids that want to mad jdm driftz like a moron, its another when a person spends this much money and apparently takes it to the track. Its his hobbie, hes a car guy just like us- let him be.

nice looking build, why waste it on concrete walls? It is going to rip like a bat out of hell for sure (if done correctly), but if it does end up biting the bullet, sell it here first :)

I subjectively wasted a weekend to go watch a 'drift" event with an open mind and I must say, was the biggest waste of time. There were a ton of nice looking cars when we got there... by the time we left there were a ton of trashed cars. Might as well have turned it into a demo derby. One guy I actually know purposely slammed his unmolested 240 into a wall because he wanted "battle scars." God what a dumbfuck. :bang:

That's like being in Iraq and being mad because you haven't been shot and shooting yourself in the leg....why the hell would you do that?

Get more that 20 something posts before talking shit Chief..

Great build, keep it up.

I would listen to BenR in regard to the ow end power and bogging out. Its horrible ripping it up into a shrinking radius turn and rowing your arm away.

You look like you are doing things right here though man!!
Awesome

That is stupid and I say that as a dr1fter. Just fucking dumb. To wreck for battle scars and whatever..

All the shit ruined on these cars is easily fixed and ready to go the next event.

Dr1ft1ng fun. Thats why its done. You dont need to "get it".. Its just fun.
