Hello from Northern Cali!
Bought a '91 Miata last year.
Didn't start putting work on it til January of this year due to lack of funds.
Car wasn't very pretty when I got it.
Cracked white paint, cracked windshield, soft top was beyond terrible,
radiator was fried, and the suspension was rusted.
Good news was that it had a rebuilt 1.6 with about 20k.
189,8xx on the chassis.
Knew it would be a real project car. got it for $1k
Since January I've replaced everything above.
For the suspension, I used Koni shocks with Tein S Tech springs.
Put in new ball joints, tie-rod endlinks, and new front control arms.
Went with a Mishimoto radiator.
Got the car painted satin black.
Got some 15x8 XXRs.
Here's some pics
Planning on installing a custom 16G Turbo kit this weekend.

the front end actually sits flush. i had the front fenders rolled because there was some serious rubbing issues. the s tech springs hardly lowered the rear (which i didn't expect). i can take a pic of the front end tomorrow. tires are stretched kumho ecstas 175/45.
