Well I felt left out since I didn't have a thread listing updates one the 7. I always start a new thread for something I buy. I'll just list further udates here. So far heres the list Engine: Racing beat full race exhaust Street ported 13bt from Atkins Dual ramped steel mesh filter on custum TID Dual belt pully for alt. Suspension KYB AGX's had them on for about a month Racing Beat Rear toe eliminators (haven't installed Yet) Strut tower bars front and rear Interior Personal steering Wheel Guage panel in din I made in five mins out of mdf Suede shift boot an MOMO aluminum sport knob Miata Short throw shifter Exterior 17" RSL wheels RMagic front bumper with headlight conversion. Stuff I have needing to be installed MegaSquirt Fuel management Intercooler and piping And today I just ordered some RS*R Race Springs. They're 6kg/mm(335lbs) front and 4kg/mm(225lbs) rear rates and with a 1.2 fr 2" rr drop. Its the best deal If you can't go with coilovers and want a really stiffer setup over stock which are under 100lbs all around. got them for 200 shipped here www.sportcompactonly.com/product.aspx?p=2293&c=29&l=2And I'm thinking about buying some wider wheels like x9 in the back with x8 in the front heres a pick of the wheel they are $140 for x9 and 120 or so for the x8 the claim to wheigh 20.5#'s thats it for now

I hope to get mine down in a month or so... I am debating about doing just cheap right now and waitting to do something nicer later. same debate here. I've painted a couple of cars but I think I'm goingto let someone else do the work on this one. But dupont here in little rock has this stuff Called ful-thane thats a cheap one stage but has high luster. My mom and I did my brothers car a whaile back, and he's never polished it but it still looks like new paint when washed. They have a 2 stage ful-thane as well that even better. The cheap one is like 110 for all the chemicals and paint. I want to do something a bit nicer. Also have some rust bubbles showing that need to be tended to. As far as color I don't know yet. I like the pearl white mica thats on there and may repeat that. Who knows.

LOL!!!! Welcome to my world!!! ;D I've been "interviewing" people to paint my car for 3 years and still have'nt found anyone I feel is competent. I met a guy thats been doing auto paint for 40 years and is cheap. I saw some of his work and it looks pretty good so I just might be in luck!!!

I ordered the wheels in the picture today 17x8 22off fr 17x9 27off rear hopefully there are no problems with my order like with the springs. I was told there was a 4-6 week backorder on the RSR Race springs. I may get a refund and buy some GC's in a couple of weeks.

Yeah, I put the word into Auto RnD to let me know when they get another shipment of RS*R Race springs in. I'm going to get a set myself. Cool deal with the wheels. They should look darn good, especially for the price.
