Here are the new parts that Skip mentioned: A set of overfenders to make his 180 even wider and a new exhaust, we put some more stickers on the windows too.

He'll have to be a little more careful when reversing. :D

As you might have seen in the previous update our Lexus got a roll cage! We went to Takeda Racing shop to get it done properly, just what we need for drag racing.

Chevelle will also get some goodies: First thing, new rims, brakes (it's hard to stop 900hp with drums lol) and maybe a suspension upgrade as well. We're in California at the moment so more info about that later. :)

#ProjectMX5

Benjamin bought this MX5 cause there's an engine laying around in our garage. We asked our neighbour in the paint shop if we could borrow a pickup and a trailer, he said that they won't need it for a few days so just enough to swap it in, so we did another long trip to LA.
# Facepalm : v6 swep it ololo
Yep, we will install a V6 from a Mustang we had a while ago, not the best engine but it has enough horses to power a Miata, for now at least. But like at every project, there is a problem. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The Stang was an automatic, but the MX5 has 3 pedals! :P So now we need a clutch and a transmission that fits the V6 and the car itself.



Thanks to Benjamin and Nick the Miata already looks mean with the wide fenders and those even wider Watanabes. And of course thanks to Parker that gave us this project! More updates about the #ProjectMX5 when we complete the swap. :)
