If I didn't have my spider

This would be in my carport!

interesting, but in my opinion it needs blocks or something more, especially on the rear. I don't like the rear lights mounted at different angles. That's one of my pet peeves with tail light conversions

I don't like the exhaust, probably if I did it would try to fit it in one of the black holes in the rear. But this guy did great work!!!

It would look so much better with bumpers...and of course proper tailight alignment

Mark has a Pet peeve and now we all know about it!

I thought the tails lights looked ok but not as bad as some conversions before, the color is pretty, bumper mount
holes would keep me awake at night till i found a solution.

Here are Vette lights done right.This is Brady Jones' car,which is the nicest customized Spider I have ever seen

I am with Mark...surface mounted taillights just look like Crap on a spider...and while Brady's work is outstanding and the lights are done inset like they should be they look too big for the back of the car...IMO.
That is why I opted for the smaller round lights on my v6spider...

Cheers

I'm trying to figure out how stock Miata wheels are "custom modified widened wheels", unless he's talking about wobble bolts...

unless he's talking about wobble bolts...

I've heard that the difference between 100mm and 98mm bolt patterns on wheels is so close you could file the holes
a little to make them fit never tried it but that's what a couple people said.

I still think this car is cool and nicely done.. even with miata wheels wobble bolted on. If i was a buyer, ill offer him 7K

Daniel · Post by **Daniel** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 2:34 pm

the wheels are still ugly and they are Miata! a double negative around here hopefully whats his name doesnt see the post
and put up that photo of himself in a thong against a Miata again...

The problem with wobble studs is that you need hub centric wheels in order for them to center properly..just any old 4 x 100mm wheel won't work unless it is hub centric...the offset needs to correct as well. Btw I don't dislike the look of the wheels...

Cheers!

I hadn't looked at the exhaust, but it is pretty ugly and no turn signals/park lights on the front

The exhaust screams 1971 Datsun pickup...lol...
Like the color though...Nice catch on the lights btw Mark. I initially missed that...
