nooooooooob right here. Howdy
 

Whats up everyone, I'm Kodi, just turned 21 last week and enjoying life...
but seriously I never would have guess i'd be driving a miata, let alone putting money into one and building one.

Bought my 1990 miata in september 2012, it was a mess. it had been spray painted several times, completely stripped for drifting, and beat to hell and i definitely didnt really know what i was getting into with this thing. It was kind of an impulse buy.

I bought it originally to keep the miles off of my 2010 wrx but the miata is now becoming my sunny day car haha (and those are few and far between this time of year in nj..)

Here are a few pics of my project thus far.

The day after i bought it

Next is turbo

What about that rear panel? Tread plate?

What kinda exhaust is that?

Welcome to the forum.

Get that extinguisher off the A-piler. Unless rice

I like your door panels. Will your pull strap pull on the shoulder pad too much?

Welcome!

yup the last owner put that diamond plate on there, i just cleaned up the rough edges and painted it.

The straps are actually screwed into the door itself and just fed through the split in the panels, it actually really doesn't pull on the panels much at all.

As for the exhaust it is fully straight piped and it was all custom made from the last owner

Thanks for joining, kodirat!
