Yeah right, I like this car more than most of my friends

hardtop is off a newer, non crystal white miata upon which paint is peeling. Paint? or Bro-dip? With plasti-dip I guess you can always try again...
|
My email notified me of your first response. I came here to type "atta boy" but then plasti-dip was mentioned.
I'd consider painting it black. |
Or should I just get it painted crystal? I really have no idea...
|
strip the paint off and let it rust for a few months, then clearcoat it...I heard that was the "culture".
When you later realize that fiberglass doesn't rust, sell the top to someone on here who will begrudgingly buy it for $250, repaint it, and replace all of the rusty hardware. #YODO, better do it right the first time. |
:) Hahaha. That's brilliant. Props to you, and screw stance/hellaflush/derelict cars.

This forum always makes my night shift bearable.

If you are going to EVER bump the power up, don't waste your money on 7 inch wheels and turd tires. Buy some UL 8" wheels from 949, not the RIP-OFF ones from tire rack.
PS: You will end up in a curb. Eventually. Probably sooner than later. It took me three months. Shifting fast and tearing up the on-ramps is not driving. If you think you can drive, go enter an autocross event. Chances are, your ego will get kicked in the nuts. Then maybe you will ask for help from some drivers who can actually drive, and then learn how to yourself. I am not trying to be a dick, but 99.9% of 16 year old dudes, cannot drive 1/10th as good as they think they can. This is just the way it is. |
There ARE other good 8" options, but overall that's some pretty solid advice ^.

They aren't rip offs, but larger wheels and tires are on my list when it DOES have power. And the only reason I didn't do 8" is because $ and I didn't want to cheap out on tires. I am happy with my current setup and the car is still grippy.

You guys and girls, Crack me up. Negative props for my comments, then positive for someone who quotes me. Get real.
|
Well, I propped your original post, but had to neg prop your last post for complaining about it :giggle:
|
It's ok.
|
Wait a minute... More negative props from someone who noticed a post from over a month ago?!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA Sorry, after I dried my tears, I realized It has only been 15 days. Continue burning me at the stake.
|
Ok. I get it. You have made your point.
|
maybe oughta change your screen name to "ryandigsapit"
|
Ok. You guys have kicked me in the nuts, split open my scrotum and now my balls are laying on the ground. Drying out like little rasins.
I'm actually kind of bummed out. Up until a couple days ago, I had been working my way out of my pit. It's also my fault for choosing to respond to the situation. I won't post in this thread anymore. |
Got this today. No more scratches!
