Que?

Thanks , I like the wheels too , although they have small flaws .

Morgan - I tried to fix the cross threaded holes where it mounts to the hinges , and than the backing broke inside the hood ? So in order the get my tap/die out of the hood I broke it more . Than turned it into a sled . :notbad:

Updates ? eh, shortened the exhaust tips . Black airbag should be here today . Car sounded like a ricer the other day because I lost a bolt to the headers . Fixed that . Roof rack may me sold to a friend . Ditched the spare tire to put my amplifier and capacitor in there .

I just passed 121,000 miles .

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Oh, ok

And yea, Im selling the trunk and the hood. Im looking for a clean NHBP hood though.

mikebikelife

iTrader: (3)

I'm telling you Morgan just sell it to me the way it is. 3.7 and allll

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

That would be very tough. I dont have a 3.7

If you really want it the way it is, Im sure we could work out a deal.

mikebikelife

iTrader: (3)

I'm pretty sure that would be over 10k . And 3.6 , mah bad .

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Yes, it would.

Damn. *Wipes drool with microfiber towel <- lol... But Nice man! Is that the lowest it can go ? '03 Tails look vicious ! And what kind of paint did you use to black out the trim ?

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

You need to go a smidge lower in the front.

mikebikelife

iTrader: (3)

@Morgan my ride is soft although I've tightened up the coils . They're cheap . I can do it more but I might be flat bottoming the coils themselves . Will do although , will do .

@Rey nope I can go so low I wouldn't be able to drive it even on flat ground . The wheels would be chilling in the air .

mikebikelife

iTrader: (3)

Broke a wheel last night driving home. Smashed a boulder . Blew the bead off the tire , drove on the inner edge of the rim . Now I have 2 bad 3 good . I put them for sale, CL is probably going back to stock at this point , I'm done with stance . I feel confident that I made it in top 5 stanced cl's , I'm just done with it .

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

That sucks.

But, ummm, Lippstuh, Brianlin, p.diddy, DLintheCL, CLTYPESLOW, distortedolskool, just to name a few. Stance isn't just about slamming the car and running camber. I hope no offense is taken.

iTrader: (1)

Bold statement. I have the agree civicdrivr. But that suck's, good luck on continuing this build or on to your next car.

mikebikelife

iTrader: (3)

Brian and distorted I haven't heard of , and the rest blow me out of the water I know. No offense taken I just kinda wanna make myself feel better . I'm super bummed out on the car .



Here's a lol shot of the Miata .

I'm sorry to hear about the wheels bro, I'd sell you my BMW 19s if your interested. I'm on nankang tires, they aren't the best but they are XL rated and from what I've read means it has a reinforced sidewall which is good for stretched tires, I've read many times about stretched sidewalls bubbling from potholes and manhole covers and other unavoidable road conditions.

Sorry about your luck Mike

Sorry for criticism. Your car was actually pretty clean looking. I also have a White CLS6 and it gives me another perspective of what my car looks like. Not interested in a 6 speed anymore?

mikebikelife

iTrader: (3)

No thanks DL , They look sexy on the cl but they're getting kinda played out in my eyes . Not that my wheels aren't either .

Thanks for the support guys .

0o0o, There's one for 8900 in cali at a small dealership , 2 owner 120k miles but I can't really afford it in all reality .I wanna trade mine + cash .

iTrader: (1)

saw one on sf bay area craigslist for 5500 or something around there. They didn't post miles. black exterior. hopefully you can find one. Whatever happened to the guy I told you about. I heard that he is keeping the car now,

mikebikelife

iTrader: (3)

I sent him a picture of my car and it encouraged him to keep it

iTrader: (1)

You're joking right?

iTrader: (4)

Very clean sir, like it a lot. IMO those wheels would look boss battleship grey, and also on a fresh tri-white paint job.

Interested to see what you do next. Are you still thinking of going back to stock?

mikebikelife

iTrader: (3)

Oo0o , I swear !

Nick , I agree to all of that .

B18, yeah the automatic is probably done for , until I get a manual than it will get love.

I spun the coilovers 15 turns higher , and mounted up my TL wheels . I found some local with 4 kumho ecsta 215/45/17 for $200 in excellent shape and here she sits . I just drive the snot out of it everyday . Waxed it and clay bared the other day , My tree keeps getting sap on it but I don't really care anymore . I've sold the roof rack , exhaust is off etc . If it sells it'll have the coils, rsb, and front camber kits .
