Car show yesterday, clean up from driving through rain on the way home topless😎
72k miles
Uh yes mostly lol, front bumper was repainted before I ever got it, I had rear bumper repaired snd repainted, finish panel is newer and painted same with spoiler, other then that I think so. Regardless I want to repaint the whole car lol
I snooped your posts for more pictures and inspiration. I’ve got a ‘90 that is getting sorted and he would look like this after some much needed love. Currently at the AC shop and then on to suspension. Paint will be last, but you’re my inspiration to do better!!
I wasn’t gonna reply till shit looked so fresh I was envious. Well done.
Yep, I'm jealous.
Don’t be, I was inspired by others. I only hope to inspire others.
Well, i hope someone gets inspired to make those suspension elements for an ND.
I believe some of their suspension is tubular, they also have aluminium arms I think
We stand on the shoulders of giants!
I didn’t know a Miata could be that clean lol
Do you have OCD?
Slightly
Well I think your Miat has it too now lol
That you Zach? I see so many people give you shit on the fb page but your car is so clean!
Was bouta say lol. I’m pretty sure i know who’s miata this is. Idk why people hate on zach on the fb group. He’s one of the top contributors to the page.
It is lol
People be jeli. I know the feeling.
Glazing is wild
What?
It looks GOOD!
Love the look of the metal undertray - is it a single piece? Where did you get it?
3 pieces LRB speed
I was also wondering what benefit this has. Is it aero or protects under bits? Looks like aluminum so weight is probably minimal.
A few functions really, mostly aero. Getting good air flow through a radiator is surprisingly complex because as soon as something is a hindrance to air going through it, air begins to build up/pressurise in front of it. This pressurised air then deflects the air being pushed into it, reducing your ability to force the air through. To combat this you end up wanting an aperture approximately one third the surface area of the radiator. This should mean that all of the air entering goes through the rad and doesn't block the incoming 'fresh' air.
The panels are key to this by stopping air leaking out of the areas after the aperture and finding it's way around or under the rad.
It also creates a block between the air travelling under the car that can have an impact on the air intended for the rad if there are any gaps.
This looks like it is more comprehensive than the plastic parts it replaced, as well as some that is completely new.
Fuck off Zach
You gonna be okay?
No. And your car is really clean
Lol thanks
Zack Ritz?

You have built the perfect NA Miata sir. That's all I have to say. It's perfect
Absolutely stunning hope it was good show!
Nice car
Thank you
Is that handbrake still functional with those willwoods?
It doesn’t work well. If you park on more than a slight incline, you’ll need to leave the car in gear. I can push my car on flat ground with parking brake engaged lol
Hmmm that’s not great I live in the uk so the rules are a quiet strict. Wanna get a brake kit but doesn’t look right to only do the front
They do make a rear kit with a separate caliper for the parking brake that is supposed to be a lot stronger, but it is a bit more expensive.
Do you know if it’s any good?
I’ve read it is, but no first hand experience
it’s pretty damn strong. hardly weaker than the oem system. Does take some time to dial in the tension when installing though otherwise it’s very pathetic
To an extent
Is it enough to be road legal?
Yes
Yes.
Frame rails and cannonball brace, but no butterfly brace?
It was out of stock when I did it and I just haven’t had a chance to get one. Life has me spending money on a lot of other things lately
Amazing. My favorite miot
Every time I see your car. I instantly know that's you.
Know that someone in France is trying to make a cheap rip off of your gorgeous car :D
Damn that looks is superb shape
Beauty
Amazing and thanks for sharing! You’re like the English version of Kazu Tomita
Oh he has me beat lmao
wish i didn't live in a rust belt fuckin hell
I’m in IL lmao
Cleanest Miata I’ve ever seen!
Where's the rust???
Prettiest Red NA I’ve ever seen…. Red Willwoods front and back 🔥
Beyond clean.
Sweet
10/10
I’ve owned several NAs and NBs in the past 25+ years. Most of them modded. Your 1.6 is one of the nicest I’ve seen. Great mods, too. Don’t ever sell it.
Thats one sanitary looking car
Damn, really clean man. Love the attention to detail and suspension/brakes!
Your suspension is totally tubular!!!!!! Bitchen dude!
Holy moly this thing is spotless. 100x cleaner underneath than factory. I’m rock hard.
Hooked up to the tits
Refreshing clean. Thank you so much for posting.
My goodness that’s clean
Let me tell you, mine does look a lot more faded on top and brown at the bottom.

I want that suspension set up for mine. Looks awesome.
Do it
That car is cleaner that hundreds of surgery rooms! Well done OP!

Where did you get the rear set of wilwoods ? If you don’t mind my asking.
Also absolutely a beauty!!
Flyin Miata
Thank you bud !
How did your interior take the rain? Seats, radio, cluster, electronics, carpet?
How did you dry that out?
Luckily didn’t get very wet lol
Put a shirt on you heathen!
what did you paint the centre of the brake disk with? the black paint I mean, what is it?
Thanks
That’s how they come
Easily the cleanest NA I’ve ever laid eyes on. Bet it looks even better in person
Eh pictures hide all it’s flaws like the countless scratches in the paint😂
Wow that’s ocd level clean. How many toothbrushes/q-tips do you go through while cleaning it?
0 however I did go through a shit ton of microfibers that I will probably toss and replinish
You just put candy all over the bottom of that!! Beautiful!
What kinda exhaust is that? I bought the cobalt rear cannon brace too just haven’t installed it, hopefully it fits with my yonaka catback exhaust

how do you like the wilwoods up front? worth it? and did you do a prop valve too?
They do their job lol, they are lighter then oem, yes I did prop valve
You can’t hide from me Zach 😤

I'm surprised you have all that done and you're still running the VAM. Do you plan on using a mega squirt or different ECU in the future?
Yeah ms3 pro in the future and boosted on it
That is absolutely lovely! I have to ask, original paint? How many miles(!)?
