Shocks:
I will have to do some searching for my shocks.
Back in 1994 I pulled the shocks off my '90 Miata for some adjustables. At the time the car had 40k miles. The old shocks promptly went into the boxes that the new shock came in. I placed them on a shelf in case I was unhappy with the adjustables. I have moved a few times since then but that is the type of thing I would keep.
I may be proud to see them go into this car.
I do not have springs, those stayed on the car.

They were big in the business back when your car was new. They may still have the ability to due the old graphics.
Carpet:
To the purists. I know that the black seat fabric for M1 Miatas changed over the years; did the carpet fabric change over the years?
The car is fully stripped. The bolt-in cage is unbolted and merely resting there. All of the parts are scattered throughout my garage. The correct numbers-matching engine and trans are in another Miata, my red 1991 driver. Mazda puts VIN plates on those parts.
bah we went from bare shell to running driving car in a week 2 years ago for the challenge
, granted it was a challenge car so we weren't that worried about numbers matching.
Who wants to guess the weight of a complete Miata wiring harness, nose to tail?
what did it end up weighing?
These 14" Michelin rally tires, leftover from a season of rallycross and the Treeline stage rally, are the last tires the car ran on. The wheels I'll use because they still have the paint pen marking "SSC 6" that my crew put there so we could identify our wheels and tires at the tire tent at the runoffs.
[iGotta ask do you have any pictures you would share of it rallying?
I spent last weekend cleaning up the suspension subframes. They're caked with mud and the front edges of the lower control arms are pitted from gravel.
These are the custom rally shocks I built 10 years ago. I started with standard Miata Bilsteins and replaced the fixed lower mounts with threaded coil-over seats. I had Schraeder valves welded on the bottom of the housings so I could de-pressurize and recharge them myself, then I cooked up a rally valving for the inside with help from a Bilstein buddy. The gas fittings also give my the option of adding remote reservoirs later. I had to fabricate centering rings for Eibach ERS race springs and weld them to standard Miata top mounts.
The finless diff on the left is the original unit from this car (I found a 4.3 pumpkin I forgot I had in my own garage). The finned housing on the right came out of a '91 production car. Anyone else have a naked Miata diff housing like this?
Found and installed a piece of package shelf carpet. Still looking for floor carpet. The local source that thought he had a piece turned up dry.
