added a couple new pics on page 5******

Well, i sold my 99 Miata and acquired a 2002 Miata.
It's quite an improvement from my 99... much faster too.
I'm not going to go into much more detail until i get some other
stuff done :ninja:
I will say this one is not supercharged like my green one was. ;)

As it sits now


And how it looked when i picked it up....

I like everything but the front end. Very nice and clean. It's just that I've never liked the Big Mouth look. Lolol. But green squares for you, dude. When I can. Later, QD.

Well, i chose the bumper for function. Look at the area the stock bumper allows for air to go in, and look at the area of the new bumper.... it's definitely function over form as i intended :)

Appreciated QD.

It got passed Tech Inspection at VIR..... and it's actually been tested to meet (and exceeds) SCCA requirements :"In rollover testing per SCCA guidelines, the patent pending saddle design helped to distribute the load to the floor of the car. The vehicle frame bent in half from the pressure, but the rollbar was completely intact. The test report is available here."- from the BossFrog website.

The vehicle frame bent in half from the pressure, but the rollbar was completely intact. The test report is available here."- from the BossFrog website.That was their initial argument with the first Double-Hoop, but about 80% of SCCA officials wouldn't pass it for tech, even with the documents from Boss Frog.

I'm not bashing your bar, I'm just curious.

A couple years ago i did a drift event up there and i was sporting some red wheels on the back. It was the only drift event ever held there so if you were there, then that was me.

The orange and green IS his old Miata.:goodjob: It went back to solid green many months ago and was sold a few weeks ago. Oh, it wasn't a snake, it's the 787B Mazda racecar paint scheme.

Drifting is gay and has turned into a bunch of poseurs and ego strokers anyway.....it's no wonder a lot of people are quitting and not doing "events" anymore. The only cool person in drifting is Sherman anyway.

I also don't forsee blowing a hole in my block and taking out someones windshield and not claiming responsibility either.
