SwedishMickeymouse's SMR pic thread
I thought it was time to do some real stuff to my car after owning for a year and a half. Teins or F&F coils soon.

But for now here are some pictures of my whip


Shortly after I got it last spring,
20% tint
Spoiler
Tsx wheels

I wanted to sell this car for a while, but i soon came to my senses. Unfortunately i bought a miata in my hiatus and now im trying to sell that ( i know i know)

With the miata and my brothers rsx. I just got the roof rack and the stickers are from the kid who owned before. And yes i actually bought it because I ride, not for looks.

I actually have been looking at miatas as a second car. I heard a few times that they are "drivers cars"

Yeah miatas are great cars but i can't afford them both (insert being a broke college student excuse here) and the cl is better for all season and i like it so much better, Esp. the interior
It's probably the best handling car i've ever driven though.

Yeah i know, thats when i first put them on the car, i went a little lower and they rubbed so bad, so i ended up selling them instead of rolling my fenders on a car i don't intend on keeping

It needs lowering asap. I'd like to purchase some skunk 2 springs but i'm not sure about them yet.
Let me know what you think, i'd like to get very low and wide with this build so stay tuned

spacers on the miata...and raise back up slightly, I'd be nervous about that front lip!
BUT, I do love the overall look at what you've done with both cars.
I look forward to more updates.

Happy suede nonsense. Trying to do the headliner now, but removing it has proven to be a pain in the arse
