Default 93 miata with Racing Beat type II body kit

Fresh out of the body shop. The color is a dark grey with silver flake. No engine mods yet, suspension mods are limited to springs (Tein S-tech), shocks (Koni Yellows), and a front sway bar (Eibach). Wheels are stock, but I'm looking into some light-weight 15's. I'll get better pictures when I get some more film

Damn, looks good

What'd the kit set you back if you don't mind me asking?

right about 1100. The kit fit perfectly: front bumper, rear bumper, and full sideskirts.

only those that can't afford nice, digital cameras. I like film because the colors are so much deeper and with the lens adjustments, you can do things like get the foreground crystal clear and the background blurry, or get everything clear

Looks nice!

I like the color alot, whats it off of?

It just needs something to fill the big hole in the front of the bumper.. like an intercooler or something j/k. Some wire mesh or something would work.

I don't really care for the body kit personally, but the paint looks great

I miss my Miata

I don't care what people say, that was one of the most fun cars I have ever owned.

The color is from Toyota/Lexus ... I'm not sure what the actual color is.

Yes, those are the low-beam projectors from my old 95 integra.

An intercooler will be in the works, but I'm strapped for cash and time. I have a 1.8 that I'll be building up then I'll plunk a turbo on there. Hopefully get 200 whp out of the stock 1.6 drivetrain (upgraded clutch, of course). If it doesn't work, then in goes a 1.8 drivetrain and try to get 250+ out of it. We'll see, though.

I'm still on the lookout for some nice wheels that will complement the car. Something with a flat face and a decent (or no) lip ... though, nothing bigger than 15 or 16 inches. If not, then 13x8 lensos would look good
