Congrats on the coil overs. I agree they make a HUGE difference in ride quality. Plus its just so nice to be able to dial in the ride height and stiffness at any time. 👍
I had coilovers before, but they were just cheap Megans. Did me well for 20k miles, but these are a lot nicer. I cant wait to get it cornerbalanced. The rear sits a bit too low, I'd like some more travel. The front is a bit too tall, I can get some more grip by lowering it a bit to where I had the car setup before.
 
Getting ready for Miatas at Laguna Seca in two weeks. Replaced the catalytic converter with a test pipe, changed the oil and adjusted the clutch. Almost ready!

Test pipe looks like a perfect fit. I am so jealous that you get to run at Laguna Seca. Please get lots of videos.

Yeah it fit really well. I'll try and borrow a friends GoPro as I already have a roof mount.
 
Will you hate me if I say I preferred it unpainted?
 
It looks glorious :drool:
 
Haha, thanks everyone! I'm adding a few more paint coats to the flares today as they are a little brighter blue than the hardtop. Also added a new shifter rod and painted the exhaust matte white.

The painted flares and top turned out great!! Looks a lot better.
 
The rear three quarter of your car reminds me of a Triumph GT6. Can't really find a picture that shows what I mean very well though.

I agree. The top was made to emulate a 911, the flares just make it more meaty. Not the best picture, but you can see how the roof is shaped.

What is the colour if your car called?
 
Had a great trip to Laguna Seca and back. Will be uploading more pictures later.

Purchased a Maruha shift knob, but its for a 6 speed. Guess I'll need to steal an NB trans.

OMG that FD <3

Heldenzeit, I love your Miata dude. You should paint it Tornado Red (same color as my Golf).

Thanks! I'll stick to the Montego Blue. I did consider red at one time. Maybe if I get it painted professionally.
 
Dude, Laguna videos? Tell me so!
 
So dope man. Car looks great with the painted bits, I'm assuming you'll replace the oem exhaust, do you know which one?
