Pablo's 2004 MSM Build

that's what I'm thinking, but since it's not lowered it'll look a bit weird

 

[Lewis7789]

I'm sure they will look good once they're mounted up. Silver goes with everything.

 

[WillD]

Yeah I think it'll look good too.

 

[princess peach]

apparently brake pads were overdue...

installed the HP+, changed the oil, rotated tires and gave her a wash. Begi hasn't made the intake yet, and I should be getting the wheels on Monday

 

[Lewis7789]

Are you ready for tomorrow, Peaches? Still going to have Marc baseline it for you?

Do you have HP+ on all four corners now?

 

[princess peach]

yes, HP+ all around and Marc will co-drive with me to see how much father I can push the car

 

[princess peach]

oh, hero...

for some reason the post office didn't process the boxes at the same time, so I got 2 today and should be getting the other 2 tomorrow. I put the wheel next to the car, I think it'll look good in the end

 

[bazooka joe]

i can't wait to see them on the car!

 

[Lewis7789]

That's kind of blessing, so you can get them home in one trip.

They look really good, like brand new! Can't wait to see them with the sticky rubber and mounted up.

 

[WillD]

i can't wait to see them on the car!

This! I think they are going to look awesome.

 

[princess peach]

so... I guess its a good thing I check tracking numbers several times a day. The other boxed was marked as "undeliverable as addressed", I stopped by the post office which is a mile away from work and they couldn't find it... they might have returned it already or it may be in the truck for delivery. I'll know more later but it might go back to Boston

 

[WillD]

That's a bummer.

 

[princess peach]

I don't know if they were super efficient today and sent the box back right after being scanned, hopefully it's in the truck or somewhere they can find it, they're supposed to call me when they do

 

[princess peach]

wheels went back to Boston, for some reason the box was considered undeliverable... will have to wait and see what happens

 

[princess peach]

great news! the box turned up today it seems someone scanned it as undeliverable by mistake, nothing wrong with it

 

[WillD]

Awesome news!

 

[princess peach]

got my centric rings today, a little closer to using the new wheels

 

[Lewis7789]

You got the plastic Gorilla's right? I can't wait to see those wheels mounted up.

I know money is tight, but what options are you thinking about for suspension? I don't know Miata's very well.

 

[princess peach]

yes, I've been eating some frozen dinners from Lean Cuisine so I got an Amazon gift card with the reward points.

Suspension wise, I really want sway bars, but as far as coilovers I dunno... I need to drive Phens car again to see how the H&R springs feel, I've thought about Megan Racing coils or maybe the v-maxx from FM. I had a good experience with BC on the 3, but those are more expensive. The sway bars might be good enough for a while, besides the body roll I don't have any complains about how the car rides.

 

[Perro del Sol]

Answered my questions, regarding suspension.
