    Default Few pics of my current project car (Miata)

    Okay, so its not heavily modded but today seemed like a good day to head out and take some pics. Nothing like a freshly waxed ride, yah? I would've gotten better pics were it not for the damn crosswinds on the open deck. The next batch of pics shall be posted next week after polishing the engine bay and installing a FM coilver kit.

    LOL.. never thought anyone would be interested in replying to a Miata thread..

    Anyhow, there are two reasons for the presence of that bra: first, I think (thought) it looks good and a provides a contrast to the rest of the car, something like the "mask of Zorro" if you can call it one. Secondly, the clearcoat is beginning to flake off a bit right along the front edge of the hood. The bra provides a stop gap solution (well, sort of) until I can get it repainted @ Sprayglo. (http://www.importatlanta.com/forums/...5#post36730685)

    For those who're interested, currently installed mods:
    Perf: FM sway bars
    Exterior:: Euro-style DRLs, Hella e-codes, LEDs all around, LED third brake, clear tails
    Interior: DIY chrome interior dress-up, Clearwater 3.5" headrest speakers, Sony 5.25" door speakers, Sony GTxxxx HU, DIY mirror lights, trunk lights

    Mods at home waiting to be installed:
    FM strut bar, Hella front fogs, DIY front/rear lips, voodoo shift knob (gloss black)

    Upcoming mods (in that order):
    Power door locks (the current key system is a royal pain), FM (or Ohlins?) coilovers, undecided 15" wheels/tires, undecided blower (JKS perhaps), lots of other mods down the line...

    I wanted to go autox'ing with it but guess it'll probably remain as a project/street car as I'm thinking about selling off the Accord and getting a propah' V6.
