Been forever since I've updated, but I couldn't find a different forum that would benefit my build in terms of advice and tips lol (M-t would be cool but I have no plans for F/I anytime soon).

Not much happened with the car.



I got this rollbar from Dave aka splittime back when he parted out his epic car.





Picked up a turbo kit for a stupid deal but it never worked out and I ended up selling.



Diesel_Miata painted the BBS wheels gold. Btw his pristine red 92 is now turbo.





Here they are mounted.



Bought a hardtop off Diesel_Miata aka Aaron.



Tried to prep/paint it by myself and it came out all bubbly and started cracking so it will have to be redone with some smc filler.



Rice instincts gave me and a friend the idea to paint the rollbar "Cusco" blue.



How she sits present day.

More soon. Flyin_Solo sold his NB. He put big boy pants on and is now restoring an FD.

Those Hard Dogs are great rollbars. Get some padding so you don't crack your head if you get rear-ended!

Thanks for the update.

Lol yeah I have SFI padding on the top most main bar. I've always wondered--where in the heck did everyone go? (forum feels dead)

I've been lurking a bit more lately. Not sure why I left in the first place. I'm going to update my build thread soon.

No more updates till you have fixed that rattly exhaust.

I miss the drift charm as well. I liked the birdy.

Yeah someone stole that thing.
Does fixing my exhaust entail replacing the whole system?

It entails diagnosing the cause of the rattle and making plans to resolve from there.
