Got to work tonight tearing the car apart for winter changes
Cage, seat frames, and valve cover are all being powder coated candy purple.
Also ordered FM frame rail braces, Enthuza test pipe, Racing Beat sport mid-pipe, and Bride seat mounts tonight. I tried mocking up the factory sliders to the brides but in order to get them to mount flat against the Brides you'd lose the sliding function. Based on the S15 Bride brackets that came on the seats the Miata ones should be very well built.
Unfortunately I noticed this carnage tonight. Beyond that my lip was partially ripped out of the bumper (thankfully an easy fix). The worst part is my roommate caused the damage 4 weeks ago when he needed the garage to change his oil and I wasn't home to move the car (out of town). My driveway has a large drop at the end which I built ramps to get the car over but he must've done the following: Laid the ramps between the drop and street causing open space under the ramp, collapsed the ramps and beached the car and then proceeded to drag the car into the street and then drag it back up the driveway to get it into the garage. Since he put the cover back on I had no idea until tonight
I've cooled off a bit but was pretty heated earlier. This is pretty bad damage, you don't just do that and not think something might have been damaged.
I knew he broke the ramps which he apologized for but this is ridiculous.
Hes lucky hes out of town because we'll be having a few words when hes back along with him paying for the frame rail braces that are now needed.
