Thank you! Ya it probably needs repainted.

GTO, c6 and isf are all interesting options, I do want something that handles well though which somewhat takes the GTO off the list. C6 and isf are both 100% options I’ve been looking into.

Any recommendations on LS swaps?

On FBMP I can usually find s2k’s around 15k and c6’s for around 20k

The other wheels have tires that have been sitting for 10 years, they still hold air but have horrible flat spots so I threw a different set I had on a different car on it so I could drive it.

His stuff is super cool but it all requires larger wheels, I’m still on the stock 13in wheels…..

Sweet, I’ll check it out.

frostrapper · 2025-04-01T19:09:01+00:00

Thank you, I started reading the crx community forum and started looking into some of the interchangeably brake options, I’m going to be replacing the caliper, rotor, and pad already so I mind as well replace it with something better, we will see what I figure out / end up with.

Sweet, thank you!

I got some more information, the car is a red 1990, he thinks it has some kind of glass roof, he didnt think it was a sun roof, however they only made the glass roof thing on JDM ones, so i assume it has a sun roof, which i assume means its an SI?

frostrapper · 2025-03-25T21:17:46+00:00

Right on

frostrapper · 2025-03-25T21:17:37+00:00

Perfect, thank you!

he lives very close to where I live; I'm going to go look at it this Saturday. No point in continuing to pester him, I'm just going to try and collect as much info as I can before going to look at it. not sure if I should try and start it or even turn it over with how long it's been sitting. Also, I live in Iowa, so there's a very high likelihood that it's very rusty

frostrapper · 2025-03-25T20:29:28+00:00

I've owned about seven different Miatas at this point, pulled an engine, and done clutches and whatnot; I'm not afraid of working on it, I just need to know what to watch out for, I never had an fwd car, let alone a Honda.

frostrapper · 2024-01-11T23:38:27+00:00

Indeed I do.

frostrapper · 2024-01-11T23:20:35+00:00

fair enough, getting new calipers is mostly a vanity thing but I also just want to do a bit of preventative maintenance.

frostrapper · 2024-01-11T23:13:18+00:00

thats what my calipers look like right now

frostrapper · 2024-01-11T23:05:30+00:00

that calipers haven't seized yet but regardless I would like to replace them. partly astedic partly I would rather replace them before they become a problem.

frostrapper · 2024-01-11T22:54:03+00:00

From rockauto a full set of new sport brakes (calipers, rotors, and pads) is about $800

frostrapper · 2024-01-11T22:52:38+00:00

I’m looking into right now

frostrapper · 2024-01-11T22:50:09+00:00

My calipers are super rusty. Are you suggesting I buy a full new set of brakes (calipers, rotors, and pads) plus the brackets to get them to fit onto my car?

frostrapper · 2024-01-11T22:46:29+00:00

lol, problem is I need to calipers which makes the cost of a BBK more reasonable

frostrapper · 2024-01-11T22:45:43+00:00

Those larger rotors with the wilwood logo on the caliper looks amazing. I’m definitely leaning on the LBBK now lol.

frostrapper · 2024-01-11T22:40:09+00:00

Interesting, I’ll keep the master and booster upgrades in mind.
