Default MachJuan and buddys MX-5 minishoot

washed the car after some extreme pollen and rain has passed by Houston, decided to take some after wash pics. buddy just got the Miata nice car IMO i like it give it some time we are going to do a engine swap,flush mount headlights, hardtop, and a nice rim/tire setup, and finally some Bosh icon wipers cause the previous owner put chrome wipers that suck *****
since the last pic thread i:
removed the milk jug
pinstripe removed
mach 1 windshield decal removed
PHP spacer installed
raised and dropped shaker (accordingly to the PHP spacer)
Door guards of somesort removed
let the comments begin












i like these pic cars not dirty its just the DSG is metallic so what you see is the glare of the flakes

U told me to let the comments begin...very nice, very very nice, but do ya have plans to drop it an inch or two? Would top it off if ya did. That's only one brother's opinion though. You know how that goes. Good job bro.

The mach looks f'ing sweet - DSG is my favourite color - I also agree with rygi23 - get the suspension done next

My Mach sits lower than that. I have never touched the suspension though, makes me wonder since I bought it used.

Sorry, back on topic, OP, nice pics man. DSG isa favorite here too.A dropwould do it justice for sure. Beauty of a car,lowered or not!!I picked up an 02 MX5 a couple months ago with 23k on it. I plan on doing an LS1 swap one of these days. Nice little "very little" cars.

I hate pollen btw.

thanks for the comments, as for the suspension ill probably do that last really all i will do is a eibach pro-kit since the shocks are toki's and we have subs... Ill be doing lower control arms,pro 5.0, and a gear next.

hoping to hit high twelves at like 108 next time i go to the track though with my current mods.

I'm the dirtbag who suggested droppin' it an inch or so. Man, sorry for opening upthe can of worms. Siding with Stone629, mine looks lower too w/o springs. Anyway, thought it was funny that I'm also about to do Pro Kit springs as well, not much of a drop so we won't have a hassle with other things. Let us know if ya got into the 12s. Again, shweetMach, keep it up.

its cool with me bro i love opinons, i think the reason my sits so high is my rim/tire combo cause if i throw some magnums on it will look the same as factory
