Looks nice. Is that a legit GP kit or a knock off? What kind of intercooler are you going to run? Needs to be lowered for sure.

thanks! its a genuine kit =) i agree theres TOO much room in the wheel wells but the front bumper is actually really low in person so im trying to grow a pair before i lower it lol.

since im on a budget from doing 2 projects at once i went with a GODSPEED f/m intercooler. looks like a lot of people are with 300-600 hourse power are getting by fine with them so i opted not to go the $Greddy$ route that the previous owner had lol

Not so much. My current dd isn't slammed. It's lowered a bit on springs and shocks and I still scrape my exhaust sometimes. My other 7 will be slammed with a gp kit however. I'm looking forward to avoiding speedbumps and driveways.

Not sure If this is exactly what your looking for, not stock but not very modded. I've got coilovers, exhaust BOV and a Nardi.

the kit was put on by previous owner. he had a greddy f/m and the car is actually an 87 with a new factory S5 engine... he putin the cage, seats, S5 interior and had it at 520 rwhp. i was told he invested about 50 thousand then he lost his job and parted it out so here i am trying to rebuild it ...he said a guy on this forum sold him the clear markers. if i find out who ill let you know!

lol yea cause it has a body kit, i agree but ive always been into drifting and i autocross my miatas before i bought this fc. the factory BBS's in the miata community are HUGE! the asking price for them are 800-1000 for 14's and 15's since they only came on limited edition cars for 3 years. and since their so light, us autocross guys and drifters LOVE them on miatas... thats why im partial to buying a set for my FC i guess..

ill sleep on it before i decide to go with purple but i think purple looks great on black! LOL
