Default my roughed up miata. working on it!

hi all, i joined this forum in hopes of learning more about my currently adquired miata. its a 91, i have to say i only bought this one cause it runs well.. cosmetically it had to be a 4/10 but im working on it. it was embarresing diving it home. she has different rims and some paint fade, primer panels and torn top. not to mention the stock springs were cut and shocks were probably blown. i was jumping out of my seat even at the tinyest pot holes but.. shell rev to 7k all day and love it....

heres what ive done in 2 months so far
-raceland coilovers
-xxr 527s
-falken 512s
-1.8 brake upgrade (complete caliper,rotos,pads)
-short shifter
-cheapy radiator
-tiny custom exhaust (nothing fancy)
-new (plugs,wires,valve cover gasket, pcv valve, trans service)
-and i spray painted her all one color

any advice on mods or appearance is appreciated..(for those who are curious, that is my DD 335i. its tuned, 19x10 in the back and on coils...)

get a roll bar maybe? It looks good and is functional... if you can deal with slow retracting seat belts.

Four points are dangerous and illegal in SCCA and NASA to name a few. 5 point harness or stock belts are ok.
