Project 10AE Miata

[Goodspeed]

Save the money and slush it away towards a TT supra fund.

+1.

If you know that you are only going to keep the Miata for a limited amount of time and eventually buy a Supra just enjoy the Miata as it is. You won't get any of your money back for the mods/paint work you do to the Miata. That's money that could be spent buying your MKIV.

Yeah, this has always been the biggest detriment to the paint job idea I've had almost since buying the car. Honestly if its anyway possible I'd like to keep this car and buy a MKIV, but who knows, maybe I'll just enjoy it until then. I want to keep a light, simple, inexpensive RWD car in the stable and I honestly wouldn't want anything other than what I have now, so it'd pain me to part with it.

Realistically the only mods I want to do are:
- New Bilstein HD's
- Eibach Pro-Plus kit (springs + sways)
- Racing Beat endlinks
- RB header/quiet exhaust
- Pads/rotors/lines/high temp fluid
- Sticky tires

Dream mod:
- Flyin' Miata Eaton M62 s/c

I took it to Premier Autobody today to get some headlight polishing done and a quote for hood/fenders/bumper cover and it was 780 all said and done. If I choose to do any paint work this is more than likely the route I would take.
