Two red thingiesYeah, both the 86 and MX5 got back from the paint shop. And they're both red.  First i wanted to choose a more subtle color for the 86 but when i was looking at the colors available at the paint shop i'd seen this pretty bright shade of red and just gone for that. I wanted to make the 86 something special so i thought why not make it a bit more flashy haha. I already assembled most of both cars' body parts with the boys in the paint shop but now i'm more focused on the 86 because i wanna get it ready for a drift event which will be next saturday. I looked around online if there are any events like this around Oklahoma and i was quite surprised by how many i found because there aren't many race tracks. On the other hand i was also wondering how i hadn't looked for any events until now! Probably because i don't have a trailer to get the cars there, oops. I'll have to get that sorted out asap! Well that'll have to wait because i'm still working on the 86, first i installed all the parts on it, i also put in this rollcage i got from UpGarage. It's not required for that drift event but it's still useful! Now the only thing left is to tune up the engine, i wanna unleash the full potential of those ITB's so i'll probably need an aftermarket ECU.  Now on to the Miata. This one got a special kind of red - it's a Soul Red Crystal Metallic from the current Mazda models. I've seen this color many times on the new CX-3's and CX-5's, well i don't like those but i just love the way that color shines! I think i've seen it on a few ND Miatas too. So i decided to get this color for mine, i've always liked new stuff on old cars! Maybe it doesn't look anything special on the photos here but i can tell you it's just beautiful.  See you guys on saturday when i'll take the 86 for some skids. Happy 86 day by the way!  |
