This car should have xidas. Just sayin', lol :P
Also, no zerk fittings on the control arms? I always told myself when i go poly bushings ill do the zerk thing so i can keep em lubed and not squeaky.

Yeah that is the main reason I didn't consider it. I have contemplated painting the front lip blue though. I saw a picture of a LSB Miata with a color matched lip and it looked clean.
Currently deciding what my next plan of attack is.
1. Assemble all the engine parts together and drop the engine in while my dad is visiting this week. Having a second pair of hands for that would be amazing.
2. Completely finish the wiring before doing anything else
3. Finish the interior up
I want to get the engine in but I know it would make things tight to work around.

Fire, I wish I could afford Xidas. I won't complain though. These SD Bilsteins ride so well on the street. I've never driven a car with specially revalved struts to match the car and it makes it so I don't think I'd ever get a coilovers setup without doing that. Makes the KW V3's on My Jetta seem like crap in comparison.
Also, my pops got a photo of what it looks like after you do that much work in one night. Guess his dog felt the same...I don't remember laying down in the driveway to pass out.

Careful posting a picture like that here. This is a Miata forum you know. An this is a totally erotic build thread.
On the mud guards, I've found that the painted rears hold up great (mine are at ~5 years on a tracked 212K car).
The fronts are lower and will scrape and bend. I ended up amputating the lowest flexible part of my fronts. Need to get them repainted.
