The new top is complete sex, but the leaks would get so annoying. G' job on the motor/tranny, this car is really coming along well., but i'm not a fan of the RB bumper, a nice lip and splitter will take car of the "cute" look just as well
The pics of the white track spec miata got me a lil hard

The pics of the white track spec miata got me a lil hardI've fixed all but one tiny little leak. And that's in the works.
Oh yeah, and I decided against the RB bumper and the GarageVary lip is now on. The RB kind of looks awkward to me on some cars, and it doesn't work well with white all the time in my opinion.
UPDATES!?
where have you been? lol
'99 NB - Bolt on's and stuff.
I bought an MP62 Supercharger... hoarding parts and preparing for the install. That's all.
Well, a few other little things like:
^and that's not even a completed pic.
I have done more, just no pics.
Edit: My buddy got a Raptor... check it out! haha

Well, the fella called me and told me that the SC was making some bearing noise after I paid him... luckily he gave me my money back and we parted ways happily. I'm still looking for boost but I'm on a limited budget.
Oh yeah, I'm trading my hardtop for an OEM this weekend. I want a matching whenever I get paint soo.... yeah. Bye bye CF. haha
too bad about the SC.
good choice on the HT though, i mean unless you're doing serious racing CF just seems unnecessary to me.

At least try to get cash+OEM for the top. Then you can add more money to the boost fund.
I have a 7lbs and a 9lbs pulley for a jrsc, so if you end up getting one, lmk.
Uhhh... I have parts of an MP45 kit. Blower, crossover tube (with Gm sensor), some brackets and an intake no electronics. I bought them off of Dr. Drew on mx5atl, supposedly the blower only has 18,000 which OGF confirmed since Dr. Drew bought it from him.
Missing the inlet and outlet (on the blower, not sure what you call them... These things... http://www.miatamania.com/Shop/ViewP...eIndexID=77561 and http://www.miatamania.com/Shop/ViewP...eIndexID=77546) pieces and maybe a couple other things... Never put it on so I'm not sure. I've decided to stay NA.
I'll give you a good price for it if you're interested in piecing it back together, if not... Well then fuck you. LOL J/K.
Wah!? I did not see this at all. I just told Jack, mx5atlanta founder (or co-founder... something), that I was gonna be picking up most of a turbo kit from him this week. PM'd good sir.
In other nooz to keep us on topic:
I just bought a Prothane bushing kit for the car. Looking for an extra set of control arms to putem in.
And got an amazing deal on some turbo stuff. Copied and pasted from FS ad. Will pick up Thursday!
Garrett T25 Silvia turbo - freshly rebuilt and cleaned - zero play, brand new
braided stainless oil/feed lines
R2D2 blow off valve
CXracing intercooler kit with pretty every pipe in the world
38mm external wastegate
pierburg inline auxiliary fuel pump
K&N air filter
autometer gauges boost/EGT/AFR
AEM Uego O2 sensor + gauge
turbo blanket
lower radiator flex hose
throttle body with variable tps
rx7 550cc red top freshly cleaned injectors
An idea of the parts:
Everything but a tapped oil pan (I have an extra), Manifold, downpipe, and a MSPNP. The kit is for a 1.6 so imma have to do some voodoo to make it all fit together.
Future plans/goals.
Have the boost and bushings in by Spring
Follow that with better coilovers and some good rubber. Probably up the ride height to eliminate spring preload.
Aesthetically I want a nice new coat of white: I won't expand into all the goodies I want. It's just sad... and it spills over into a 'dreams' category. NOT PLANS
Yeah, that's not going to happen. You need a 1.8L manifold.
02' Miata
And I cleaned my bay too.
Yeah... That's why I'm buying everything but the manifold and downpipe.
I was saying that I'm going to have to find a manifold similar to the 1.6 and have a downpipe made to work with the 1.8 exhaust and the external wastegate.

Not a bad looking start at all...I'm hoping to order some parts for the Miata within the week.
Once you start it won't stop!
Thanks.
where did you get your bushing kit and how much? im lookin to get one

The Prothane kit is supposed be to a bit more durable and harder than the Energy Suspension kit. It's also a little cheaper. The reason I didn't go with the ES is because I don't want to have to be replacing bushings more often. I've seen a few people have to go through more than 2 sets. It's a bitch job and I don't want to do it too often.
Well, I'm actually getting Echo's SC kit. It's funny how quickly plans can change. The M45 JRSC is what I was originally looking for. My plans elevated from there up to an M62... then the T25 Kit above. I decided for simplicity I would go with the M45. Plus, I got a good deal.
With it, I am planning on going TDR intercooled with some 550cc ev14 injectors and a 9lb pulley. I want an MS, but we'll see how it goes. I'm a little scared of it. Everything is subject to change as well. I guess I go where the good deals are. We po college kids.
yeah I know how plans can change quickly, been there done that plenty of times. still, great progress though.

amen to that.
oh, and don't be scared of MS. it's not all that bad at all. my buddy is running it on his turbo NB running 20lbs and water/meth etc. It's a great tool to have.

sick shit man. I was all set to start saving for boost and then I got laid off.
all plans put on hold.
good to see someone else making progress. How much boost are you planning on running?

Love the protege valve cover.
Thanks. I saw your car at the Southrnfresh meet a couple weeks ago. So Gorgeous.Love the protege valve cover.
^Thanks to Echo! Woo!
Now, I emailed Moss about they're extremely simple NO PS NO AC tensioner setup to see what they can do for me, and I'm sourcing some other things to get that baby on.
lmk about that 9lb pulley, man. I'd love to contribute to this build!
good progress.
This build really is coming along nicely. I like the path you are taking with it's looks. I'm just as picky, when it come to being presentable.
And that Raptor looks like it could eat 2 mx5's.

Ok, in the mail is:
Tubular TDR front and rear sways
Some much needed silicone radiator hoses
All remaining bractetry and hooplah to get the SC mounted
And a set of differential bushings.
More pics when they arrive. But she turned 200000!

The car looks good man, all you have to with them is get a hardtop and wheels/slam and it almost complete.
I still have the JRSC pullies sitting in my closet. Want them for a crack head price? And I mean crack head... If so, pm me.
What sizes are they? BC I only know of a 62.5mm jrsc pulley that'll get 6.5 lbs. Unless you have the crank overlay 9lb pulley?

Lmao, the mx5 looks like it might get raped by that raptor...
Racing is life. Everything before and after, just waiting.
I like how you were creative with the detour sign. Nice

So, I can't decide which front lip to go with. The R Package lip won't match Feed Skirts, that I plan on getting. Unless I go with a splitter under. I've been considering that for a lonnng time.
The Garage Vary that I already have is a bit played out for a number of reasons. I'm considering trying an Autokonexion, and the Trap just looks awkward most of the time to me. I love the idea, but not so much the execution.
Obviously, I'm partial to the rear of my car and the way it looks right now.
ps - please don't tell me how awful I am with a Camera. One day I will have the time to give it a shot.
Mmmmm fresh paint. Looks good.

Thanks!
It truly transforms the car. I appreciate it so much.
