Here's where I'll keep the progress of my '90. When I bought it in March of 2010, it came with 79K miles and all the paperwork dating back to the original purchase. Everything on it was stock except for the Clarion head unit thrown in (but it came with the factory radio too). I'm the third owner, and right now it's sitting with 91K.
So I guess I'll start with a list of stuff done so far.
Exterior
New top: black vinyl, glass window, non defrost.
Tint: 20% on sides, 35% on back/triangles.
Painted the stock wheels black
Tinted side markers/turn signals
Rattlecan racing stripe lol
Black grille
Foglights mounted in the mouth
New taillights
Interior
Redline center console covers: black with white stitching
Shift/ebrake boot: black with white stitching
Aluminum a/c rings
Lokar shift ring
White LED interior lighting
Diamond pleated door panels
Teardrop speaker panels
Homemade switchbox: toggles control the headlamp lids, hazards & foglights
Shift knob made from a real 8 ball
Sound
Pioneer DEH 3200UB head unit
Kicker 6.5" KS600 speakers
(2) 4" cheapo speakers in each HR
Aura pro bass shakers in the seats
Kenwood KAC-something-or-another amplifier
Engine
K&N panel air filter
DIY Randall intake
Everything else is stock, for now.
Soon to come/in the mail
Vindi's ducktail spoiler
100mm TRAP front lip
Shifter rebuild kit (new bushings/boots etc).
Pedobear/tricycle "fwd sucks" sticker (+10 hp)
Eventually
Megan EZ street coilovers
Full Racing Beat exhaust (headers, connecting pipe & muffler)
Black 6UL wheels (15x7 +36)
Simpson Design cowl hood
New paint job (white): that 20 year old paint is peeling bad...
Some powdercoating: hardtop latches/door handles flat black, brake calipers red
Hard Dog M2 sport rollbar: no diagonal, just the side bracing
My dad and I had a '67(?) Triumph TR-250 back in the day and even though we had it for only two years or so, there's still alot of good memories with that thing. The Miata's my daily driver, and I fell in love with auto-x last January. That said, the direction I want to take with the car is to have a classy, old school sports car feel that can be driven daily and hold it's own at the auto-x courses.
Anyways, here's some pictures:

(I changed the bulbs to green to match the rest of the lighting)

(I tinted the lenses on the foglights. I always thought they looked like buckteeth, but I love them in there. So now you can only see them when they're on)

Sorry for the lack of detailed pictures. These are just spur of the moment ones, and the interior's not fully finished anyways. Once I get that put back together I'll take some nicer ones.
