Time to say goodbye to that wheel gap

Appointment set for next Wednesday at a local performance shop to install coilovers, sway bars, endlinks, replace every single bushing on the car, and then once I get tires in a couple weeks.... Custom alignment!

Oh and we’re considering building the engine up to a 9k rpm naturally aspirated screamer with a decent boost in power... Or a high boost turbo application. Then again I still have a Honda v6 sitting in my friends garage.... Oh and the shop has an mk4 Supra mill sitting around taking up space... I talked to the owner of the place about all of it, and he seemed just as excited as me to do something crazy. Probably spent a good two hours outside talking about build plans, seeing his cars, hearing about the big projects going on, etc... I think I finally found “the shop”.

Anyways, say goodbye to 4x4 mode (Aka stock ride height). The Xidas will make for a substantial drop in ride height.

Since we’ll have the same suspension setup/wheel size, and his car rides like an absolute dream, I just went with Adam’s specs. So something like this

Just, you know. Minus all the sexyness that is Sharka

This place does specialize in s2k’s.... God how cool would that be? If I could get an F20c to 200hp/tq at the wheels while retaining that redline.... Hnghhh!!!

Get one quick! You won’t regret it. Two years and a million projects later, I’m still loving the hairdresser life

Eeehhhh, I have enough cars as it is for me atm. Plus my ultimate hairdresser car is a manual SLK 320 or Z3M Roadster

Mmm M roadster. Considering how awful I thought the normal z3 was, I was not expecting to love the M so much...

You can never have too many roadsters

I like the regular one and being a tall person the Miata has always been too small.
