I care about both - funny thing is, I can often make a bracket faster than going through the order process on a website, and certainly before it gets shipped to me. For instance I fully boxed my UCA bracket in about 20 minutes with $5 of 3/16 plate, it would have cost 20+shipping from these guys and my plate goes further up than theirs.
i agree with both, im very happy with the way my 60 mounts have come out, i did buy the ss kit for the rear just because im lazy sometimes and its stupid simple to toss on
This is why I don't like that show that much. A bunch of my friends are like shocked when they find out I don't like that show, but that guy just gets on my nerves, and sometimes the cockiness they exhibit just makes me mad. That, and their Landrover LR3 episode showed me how they are a bunch of idiots.
For $35k you can do a Cobra kit car. $20.7k for the kit, plus motor, rear end, tires/wheels, paint, and battery. I want to do this in the not-to-distant future. And I'll be the asshole who puts a Corvette motor in it, and drives it as much as friggin possible. 11-second 1/4's and 25+ MPG's? Yes please.
Ohhhhh, I thought it looked super clean for a torch but figured I just sucked with mine (which is still true) :laugh3:
nice, will have to look into it, havent kept up on the build threads in a while :thumbup:
Agreed. Was my quick/easy lunch of choice during college. Chicken cutlet with a slice of yellow American cheese on a plain bagel with a mix of blue cheese dressing and franks as a sauce/topping/condiment/whatever, then all tossed in the toaster for a few min to get it warm/melty
^^^This. I was going to post the exact same thing :thumbup: except I would probably run a lightly modified 5.0 so I could pick up a cheap old rusted (but running well) fox body and just swap the motor, rear end, etc over.For $35k you can do a Cobra kit car. $20.7k for the kit, plus motor, rear end, tires/wheels, paint, and battery.

(Note: I'm sure he wants to do said swap but his current income and the fact the miata is a DD doesn't allow him to do so)
looks like you could paint an anime character on it and sell it on ebay for 400 dollars. And yeah, I have pretty good luck with them, at least compared to HF discs. They cost about the same as HF discs and last a good deal longer, so it works out well.You've been having good luck with those?
Last batch I bought a few months ago, they seemed to evaporate pretty quickly. The flap discs are OK but the cost/benefit of the cutoff wheels drove me back to the Dewalt XP high-performance ones from Lowes.
I might be a 'super-user' for cutoff wheels though...every bracket/tab/fabbed piece on my engine mounts, both axles, coilover towers, etc. was chopped out of a 4x4 piece of 3/16" plate using my Milwaukee 4.5" angle grinder and cutoff wheels.
Here's what's left. I pretty much retired this piece.

BUY METAL!
looks like my 96 shitbox except better simply because it's a 95 instead of a 96.
Oh definitely. Just means it's slightly out of my budget instead of WAY out of my budget :roflmao:
Yeah a new body would be killer. Right now I'm pondering these two:
