unthreaded coils, lip, headers & cat

[JTL94']

i should have started this thread when i first bought my car, but i wasnt even on tst at the time. i do not have all the pictures and i cannot find one of it when i first picked it up. of the pictures i do have, i will put them in chronological order for you.
At first i didnt want to really spend money on this car but some how i ended up ordering coilovers, wheels and some new tires within 2 weeks after purchase of my car. Now i dont really care, but i know im going to get so comments about this but i ordered Raceland coilovers. Okay, i know that it to most people is the dumbest thing ever, but im not trying to be all fancy and im for the most part broke. I bought them knowing the were def. a low-end brand(very low end), but i just wanted to lower my ride height and stiffen my ride.

this may annoy who ever reads this, but for every new mod, i will make separate posts for each part/change.
after i ordered my coilovers, i ordered wheels and tires, i happen to order Trm C1m wheels in black and a set of hankook 195/50/r15 tires which they came with chrome lugs for black wheels.

about a month later, i happened to buy these turn signal intakes. im going to be honest, but this didnt really give me any power gains... at first.

i decided that it was time to order an exhaust but i had some trouble deciding which one to buy. i was stuck on a borla catback or a magnaflow cat back. i decided to order a borla 2.25'' single-exit catback.
i dont have a picture but if anyone is interested i will make a video with the intake i mounted near the previously installed turnsignal intake ducts.

current picture, more to be soon

i like the intakes. vid of exhaust would be cool.

Really no need to separate all of your posts if you plan on posting every 5 minutes. Please do not continue this behavior in the future as it could be seen as spamming.

Otherwise, good luck with the car.

i did it like that because i was going in order from the parts i already had put on. but as i buy new ones or make any changes im not going to be doing it every day so it wont be like this setup above.

I broke my latch and lock for my trunk lid. And water is seeping through my wheelwells; taking a trip to syrena autobody

[fitftw]

sounds real nice man

[JTL94']

thanks. i was planning on ordering roll bars but theres so many to choose from. i was thinking about getting Boss frog double diagonal roll bars, they fit both plastic/glass rear window tops so, idk...
does anyone recommend a different kind?(needs to fit glass rear window)

[JTL94']

put some bondo in some holes i found in my trunk...

Nice man! Eff what people say about racelands, I have them on my miata, but I have other suspension stuff done with it, it handles like a dream IMO, any who wants a ride..your free to come with Hopefully im selling my miata soon, I love it so much but its just to impractical for me right now. keep up the goodwork!

[92accordex]

Why dont you just get the harddog hardcore bar? There is plenty to choose from each fitting different models of car, with sofftop, glass/rear window/ hardtop etcetc. Google them, prices arent horrible either my man

[JTL94']

oh, good stuff man, they are pretty cheap. thanks

[JTL94']

plans for roll bars got ruined.. i went to sears and ended up buying a tool box and i had to fill it up somewhat....maybe next paycheck!?
on the bright side i did put on my steering wheel...

[henwy]

never owned one but miatas are fun

[JTL94']

yeah they are. i mean, they arent necessarily "fast", but for what they are and the power:weight, they are extremely fun, especially on tight turns...
there like big go-karts!

I got a surprise from my gf, she ordered a front lip for me and shipped it to my house. i Had my fenders rolled at Rt Tuning, which they did a fantastic job. i ended up removing the big spring and bumpstop on my coils, and have to take out fender liners to prevent rubbing.
i ended up ordering headers and high flow cat...

[JTL94']

finally got my rollbars that successfully went in, after gutting the whole car.
I got my hand on a Garret t25 for $20 (its blown...), but im sending out to Blouch, unless anyone knows somewhere else thats better/affordable. I also recieved a turbo manifold and just ordered an o2 housing.

Night shaded tail lights, side markers and fixed my angry eyes.


Will post pics soon
