@Redturbo, the boost will be on the 95. Hopefully sooner than later. The goal for this one is to be that car you see in 15 years and say DAAAAAMN that's a clean Miata. I haven't seen one like that in years!

@Track, Yeah, the radiator is crap. I just had to use it for now, but I'll have a new one before long. I'll be ordering a new one and new fans before I put her on the road in April. The brown radiator really throws off the whole look. Superficial, I know.

Default MOAR Horrible photo taking!

Installed the Mudguards, I had no idea how drastically they changed the profile of the rear end! The paint came out a perfect match too.

Oh yeah, and i got my plates. I can drive her now! (once i source a rear caliper.)
