Well, this one is staying clear of Xceed because of previous turbo-fails and uberhaters, so you guys are going to be graced with my project thread on this one!
Now that the Turdmaro is out of the way, and my bank account is waiting to be replenished tomorrow morning, it's almost time to start ordering parts! First on the list is a roll bar, which in my mind is a necessary item. It serves multiple purposes; protection in the event of a roll-over, chassis stiffening, and it highly de-fagifies the thing. I'll be ordering the Hard Dog Hard Core M2, double diagonal bar, which looks like this...

1.75" DOM tubing and fully SCCA legal FTW.
Next items on the list are for increased stickification and that awesome aggressive JDM stance all the cool kids are going for these days. The bronze slipstreams that I was looking at buying are conveniently still available and I'll most likely be picking them up on Monday morning or Tuesday. The wheels aren't my first choice, but they're wrapped in Falken Azeni RT-615s so I think I'll live.
To compliment the new stickies I'll be throwing on a new set of shocks and maybe some springs or something.... Oh who am I kidding, I'm ordering a set of Koni Sport adjustables and a set of Flyin' Miata spec Ground Control coilovers (425/300[F/R] in/lb rates). :D
Yes, it's a bit all at once, but who do I care, now that the Catfish is out of my hair I have ~$4,000 to play with, so I'm gonna have some fun! :boobies:
Expect many more updates as I make many irresponsible impulse purchases and start receiving box after box from my friends in brown.
