new goodies installed

[ronin12]

Finally got a chance to install a couple of x-mas presents. A Racing Beat cat-back and a oem front lip. Also have a set of Koni shocks, but those will be installed later. Love the exhaust(have one on my Protege5) got it with the sport pipe(non-resonater)have to have the top down to fully appreciate it(which I did)the front lip was easy to install except for the rusted brace bolts(will have to possibly drill out the old bolt and install new hardware). Anyways some before and after pics

Thanks! She is tucked in again to take a little nap. Hoping it warms up a little bit so I can start driving her again on a regular basis

MMMMMM bbs wheels. I Drool! I Drool!

 

[aMaff]

Burce, she's lookin great man! I hope you're as happy as yours as I am with mine! Is it lowered, or is that stock height?

 

[k-lea]

Nice.

 

[MAZDASPEED MX5]

That looks awesome! Can't wait to see it with the suspension!

 

[bazooka joe]

honestly, after the p5 days are done, it's going to be a miata!!

 

[ronin12]

stock height for now, Koni's going on in near future(middle perch) w/FCM shock mount kit-should be about 1" drop total. Why wait, you can have both

 

[miatamania]

very nice...

might I seriously suggests before you think about putting those shocks on, check out the FCM modifed M2 mounts and the bumpstops.

I have the konis, older FM springs, and those mounts (http://www.fatcatmotorsports.com/FCMmounts.htm)

It gives you almost another inch of travel back and it lowers it a little bit more...

I'll get a picture of mine before/after...you just can't laugh about either

you definately won't regret it!

 

[miatamania]

Before, during my slightly rice period:

And After the konis, fm springs...Fat Cat Motorsports mounts and 46mm bumpstops..in my primer stages...:

After my rear carrier assembly broke in half...locked up the right rear wheel and I slid of a mountain...

 

[ronin12]

I like the stance, I had e-mailed them and I think that is what was recomended. I am going to keep the stock springs, but wanted it a bit lower plus better feel.

 

[miatamania]

my friend has that setup...it works nicely....if you do decide to get springs racing beat and FM can be found CHEAPLY. I got mine for 80 + shipping...and springs don't go bad.

FCM are good point though.
