Arty's red Miats

Postby ArtyMiats » Thu May 15, 2014 4:40 am

I don't expect to keep this updated very often, but here is my car so far. Picked it up in October of 2013 and began the changes straight away.

I started with this car absolutely bone stock. A great example of a clean NA6 with low Ks. Absolute hoot to drive. First mods, gaffa tape to the headlights and my old civic's wheels replacing the daisies.

Soon after, a Vary lip, sideskirts, KG works spoiler, and R package rear lip came, and a trip down great ocean road soon after.
Image

Found a hard top thanks to a mate who pointed me to AllMaz wreckers.The good: the glass was fine and the seals were all good. The bad: It was white, and the paint was in shocking condition. Can't complain for $700 though.
Image

Plastidip is a cheap fix for a white roof, and I was no longer known as strawberries and cream.
Image

Had a a go at the track and keen as to try more.

Obviously haven't taken photos of actual modifications, but the car atm has an OS Giken super single clutch, Signature sway bars and bushings, supermiata endlinks, carbing strut brace and brake booster, ASI radiator and fans. Also have this stuff waiting to go in once those pesky green plates are off :roll:

I'm not a fan of the steel wheels that are on now, they're heavy and give a lot of bump steer. I've got these only as a stand in wheel... bought some wheels in February from Japan and they've still not arrived :/ hopefully soon now...
