car still isnt running, getting my buddies to come over tm. Put all the new suspension on, ahah wouldn't believe me i took off the back left shock and spring without taking the tire off because its still stuck there but i still got it done . Got volt and oil gauges hooked up, waiting for the temp sender because the lines are to cold dont want to crack the rubber. Talkin to neighbour said he might sell his miata because he has a motorcycle now

Still 4x4, IMO anything higher than 12.75 hub to fender is to high.

Im not a fan of:
The wheels
Seat covers
Shift boot
Rice Lights
E-break cover
And not haveing any vents for air, that would just suck.

Why did you put the breather on the chrome crossover thing? Just seems to make more sense to take that whole thing off and put it on the valve cover.

Why did you go with those gauges?

Narrowband is worthless.
Water temp and oil pressure you already have in the stock cluster.
Volt gauge? :\

Your upper radiator hose looks like it is going to blow off soon.

in all honesty, i blocked my vents out with gauges, and there no problem
the air flow still comes from the feet, and the top, and sides,
so its fine, i mostly use the feet and windshield anyway
