    Looks like we'll be making our own stuart.

        glad I could help out. Happy I brought a small u-joint for my ratchet (and a 3/8" ratchet rather than 1/2" drive), else that dizzy would have been impossible to get out.

        and no flame here, I have JDM wheels. Enkei Tarmacs in white.

        of course, they're on a subaru ;)

            No huge updates, in the middle of shaving/ tucking the bay, just need paint now. Amassing parts and rebuilding the engine. And finally got these:





            Front:


            Rear:



            Ordering a stud conversion kit from Ryan soon!

                              hmmmm nice idea getting those Viennas. Not sure on how they'll look, makes me think of the couple of MX5 miatas around the net on viennas.

                              did someone clean them with steel wool?? :(

                                :( Looks that way, trying to find a way to clear the chrome up. Fantastic condition other than the light scratches, and yeah, theres actually an sr20 powered Miata local to me with them.
