Day 1 Noob
8 Attachment(s)
Hey, I'm Kody and I own a Miata. It is a cherry 2002 5 speed car that I bought from an old man that's had it since it left the factory. It is currently a stocker with 125k very easy miles on it with a brand new soft top (thanks to thieving assholes) and some halo headlights. I have big plans for the car, but am currently in the hunting, pricing, and saving phase of the build. My current power goal is just a modest 250whp :jerkit:. I'm looking forward to learning all kinds of stuff on this website and also asking for advice and opinions while I go through the build process. Here's some pictures:

What happened to the original headlights from photo 1? |

They're sitting in my buddy's garage. I wanted some black housing halos, so I swapped out the stockers.
What are your plans for getting to 250HP? Hopefully, it doesn't involve ebay :facepalm: -Dustin |

I would be willing to buy your stock headlights if you are looking to sell them for a reasonable price, that is, if all of the mounting tabs aren't broken off.

Right now I'm trying to decide between the FMll or the Begi S3 both without electronics as I'm working out something with Rev for a Basic MS3, although I'm considering going enhanced as I would like the wideband integration. |
Keep updating! I'd like to see how the begi kit is if you go that route !

I did actually decide on the Begi kit. I'm looking to buy in the next few days but I guess they've got about a 2 week lead time on the kit :-/

If anything needs to be welded expect months rather than weeks. I ordered my S6 kit in March... last parts should arrive next Monday.

Unfortunately that does seem to be quite accurate. They've been keeping good communication with me, but it does look like it's going to take quite a long time. I was quoted 7-8 weeks for the kit.

I was quoted 3 to 6 weeks and it took 4 and a half months. Don't count on getting this kit before Christmas.
