My Miata got some new wheels yesterday, it's nice out today, seemed like an opportune moment for some picture takage. Comments, concerns, knock yourselves out.

Hypno, you actually prompted me to drive to the landfill and the metal scrapyard to weigh the car but I was a few minutes late to both, I've been curious about that myself. The AC and power steering alone were well over 50lbs, but I don't want to overestimate on the rest.
Integra: Yep, I put it in. It's surprisingly easy if you have a second set of hands to jimmy it in place. It does require cutting a bit of the rear shelf out (on the NA at least), but otherwise it's just drill the holes and bolt it in place. Obviously all my interior panels were already gone so that simplified things on mine. If you follow the directions on the Hard Dog website it's no problem at all. PM me if you need help.
911: Yeah I had her parked on the Varsity end of the lower parking lot, was next to another white Miata most of the time. It'd be good to meet ya next time, I'm a big fan of the early 911's.
MX3: I saw you guys' cars in GRM a while back, and I think I met you at the Varsity a few months ago. Anyway, she'll be getting lowered in two weeks, Flyin' Miata springs and KYB AGXs.
Thanks for the comments guys.
lol,well NAs are like 2200 pounds stock....so u might be dipping in to under 2kOriginally Posted by straight6

Thanks man

Haha, wheel gap is getting addressed next paycheck. Thanks for the props folks.
what your next plans?
Ordering the Racing Beat intake tomorrow. AGX's and FM springs next. All motor after that.
kurt, get outta this thread!!!!!!!!! lol

Thanks Hulud. Mine gets a little smoky in the upper revs too. Dunno how many miles are on the motor, didn't get any records with it, but the body has 177k right now. What's yours up to?
ITB's definitely come last, if at all. So bloody expensive. Right now, just higher compression, bigger bore, cams and headwork. It's nice working at a machine shop.
lol i wish i worked there. im picking up a 302 soon
grassroots motorsports FTW!

And Super Skeet FTL! If it weren't for GRM I wouldn't have this car, lol.Originally Posted by rollin_s2k
Hulud, do you like your Eibachs? I'm still a little undecided on springs.
Good luck picking up that 302 Ian, they're pretty heavy.
I def came by and looked at your car about 30 times. I love the Miatas esp in white. I never have brought my car to a meet b.c I keep in about an hour and a half away but if I do, I will let you know man.Originally Posted by straight6
Try Shell Rotella 15/40 for diesel trucks. Works great..and is cheap.Originally Posted by Hulud
The black and tan has Eibach Pro too. They seem to work fine with Koni's and FCM bumpstops. Obviously from the pic you can see ride height. If I was buying new suspension I would be looking at Ground Control coilovers...they use Eibach springs as well and that way you get adjustability.Originally Posted by straight6
Of course if you have the $$ Tein Flex is nice.
Metalmans car FTMFW!
Integra - Which rollbar do you have to install and where are you? I installed the bar on both my 96 and my 99. You must have a mega crazy long drillbit (like 12" long).
02' Miata
I'm sorry...I'll never let it happen again mr moderator.Originally Posted by Hulud
looks very nice...

RIP Kaleb Mashburn
