I know what a $30k Miata looks like. If you have $30k into yours, I pity you.

Yea, I wasn't going to mention that, but yea. I'm about 7-8k in including the purchase of the car 6yrs ago. But dude, if I can do a turbo for $250, imagine how far 30k would go. I'd have the right offset wheels and everything.

It sounds like you overpaid is all. I wouldn't mind owning that car especially with those parts.
...Wait, did you get the installation done for you? Then it makes a a bit more sense. |
off to clubroadster you go :)
|
Lol well since i had to purchase everything from the states and our conversion rate is just horrible right now i sort of got fucked. In american money itd prob be like 18k or w.e the rates at now. And no i installed every single piece on my car, except bore the motor the shop did that. Its just headaches now, everythings such a tight fit and theres already problems cant find a tuner around here...well hopefully it will be on the road for june 1st il keep you all updated and post the dyno results when i go :D
|
I have $20k or so in mine and I'd do it all over again without a doubt.
|
Since when does anyone feel their car is complete? You just hit consecutive stages of "It'll do for now" until the next crazy idea comes around for improving.
|
Well...to answer the OP's question:
There is only one thing to do, and that is to call Shaikh @ Fat Cat Motorsports. If you've put that much into your car, suspension should be top notch. Unless you go with some hella expensive coilover setup, I imagine you'd be happy with some real spring rates, revalved Bilsteins to match them, and MCU bumpstops with possibly front top mounts as well. |
Lol! I with all them^^! Ha!
|
I've got like $18k in my NA right now, and it still looks like shit, rides like shit, and isn't turbo... and keeps blowing fuses and other annoying stuff like that. So I can't comment on overspending, since I'm probably in worse shape than that.
|
polished undertray I think I have near 27.5k€ in my car, but at least I have 6ULs :bowrofl: |
