Fender rolling

149300 miles May 30, 2021 Since I’m running wider tires and will be installing coil overs and lowering the car, I need to roll the fender so the tires don’t contact the fenders. Got the fender roller from Princess Auto.

Frame rail reinforcement

149290 miles May 22, 2021 Bought and installed Flyin Miata frame rail reinforcement kit

Rear spoiler

Sept 12, 2020 148949 miles Bought a cheap plastic spoiler from eBay and installed it on the trunk. Like the front slip it adds another PAX point to my classification because it changes the car’s aerodynamics.

Tow Hooks – Flyin Miata

Sept 12, 2020 148948 miles In case I end up going on an off track excursion and need assistance out of the weeds, I decided to install front and rear tow hooks. Bought a set from Flyin Miata and they cost way too much for what you get. Install was easy. Not much else toContinue reading “Tow Hooks – Flyin Miata”

Front lip – eBay

Sept 12, 2020 148949 miles Bought a cheap ~$100 plastic front lip off eBay and installed it. It’s the stereotypical lip everyone installs but I like the look it has. I was surprised to see that this cheapo lip adds a PAX point to my racing classification as it changes the aerodynamics. So be it.Continue reading “Front lip – eBay”

Basic requirements are 1) at least 25 years old, 2) worth at least $5000 Since I met both criteria my car was approved so I got my collector plates.

Auxbeam switchback Halo LED Headlights

June 30, 2020 147950 miles Inspired by Gingium on YouTube I decided to install Auxbeam switchback LED headlights on the Miata to replace the pretty poor OEM lights. Ordered the headlights from the Auxbeam website and got them a few days later. Installation of the headlights was pretty simple. It was a simple swap andContinue reading “Auxbeam switchback Halo LED Headlights”

OEM headlights

June 17, 2020. 147717 miles. Changed back to OEM headlights from the projector style.

Track Decals

Aug 16, 2019 147295 miles Ordered magnetic number decals from TrackDecals.com A bit expensive for what you get, but I guess you’re paying for convenience. They look good though.

Hardtop Hanger

Decided to hang the hardtop on the wall so it’s out of the way. Took 2 screw in garage wall hooks (I think these are used for hanging bicycles), cut off the ends with a dremel, screwed them into the wall, then hung the roof by the chrome latches. There is debate on the internetContinue reading “Hardtop Hanger”
