If you love how the FC handles, you're going to jizz your pants if you buy a Miata.

I say keep the FC, and also buy the Miata. Drift the FC, pick up chicks in the Miata.

Problem solved.

recently got a Cusco safety 21 roll cage, and a D-max hood. still hunting down some fenders, headlights, and a bumper. It's pretty annoying to think I found 2 rare parts, before even finding one SINGLE OE body part. ****** ridiculous.

Thanks man, I've been very lucky the past few weeks when it comes to cheap parts.. I'm glad you like it.

Good luck on that GTU! that would be sick.

they're 17x9 +4 with 205/40-17 tires all around. Nankang rear, and Mayrun front. I'm guessing they look a little bigger because the low height, and picture angle?

Thank you sir! Oh, and I will be a busy busy man the next few months. major updates coming soon.

I appreciate it man, honestly.. I've been slaving, working, and throwing money at this car for a year and I'm barely beginning to notice my OWN progress, I'm glad to see you guys appreciate it.

This is an ongoing project so check back every once in a while for updates! thank you!

Went to the junk yard with RadioX7 and got lucky enough to find a pair of these bad boys. 18x9.5 +25. getting them re-drilled most likely by wheelflip. my goal is to tuck rim in the rear.

I get paid on the 15th so I've got a little over a week to get them where I want them

I think 97-2002 BMW 7 series. they're the M edition wheels, I BELIEVE they are forged, but not too sure. they seem a tad heavy for a forged wheel, but they weigh about the same as my 17x9's

EDIT: I found the specs.. 18x9.5 +25, and yes they're forged ^____^

The picture on the first page with your car on four jack stands....on grass....your crazy. But besides that i really like what your doing. As long as progress gets made safely then it will all work out in the end.

So Finally I got a new bumper, and some G35 mudguards as seen here :

A few days after that, I made a trip down to Shine Auto Project (very cool people)

and picked up a set of Re-Amemiya replica skirts. :

Threw them on the very next day, with the help of another forum member RadioX7 (thank god for this guy, my car would be nowhere near where it is now without him hahaha)

I noticed my garage was getting a little cluttered with shitty parts, and Radio wanted to use the GP kit I had laying around, so he picked that up as well. (keep an eye out for his car, it's going to be nuts in the next few days)

I'll end with a few more shots of the skirts from this morning. Note: I'm still deciding on a lip, so don't mind the weird looking volvo lip. Even though I though it was pretty cool, it just doesn't flow with the car like I'd hoped.
