update! got the Techno Pro Spirit roll bar. i just need to source 2 brackets that you can obviously see where they go. (bolts the bar to the top belt mount location) picked up the bar last friday. then had to buy some tools to install it so i could close the top. 15 minutes later, and a gallon of sweat, it was done. i finished it up at mig's and some last things just now that im back in IL.

after 1800 miles, in florida

now after im back home

not much of an update, but the car is as prepped for winter as it is going to be. cleaned up some surface rust under the car, and cleaned up the suspension and what-not.

i also decided that the garage needed a TV with cable, so i grabbed a spare TV and hooked the cable up to it. i may stick my old PS2 in there, but it probably wont be played (too cold to hang out in the garage) id work better in the summer

Cars definately making progress, it will look great on wheels.
What are you leaning towards?

Did the roll bar affect handling at all?

not at all. maybe if it was all welded instead of bolted in

im leaning towards Advan RGII in 16x8 all around. staggered tires (205/45-16 and 225/40-16 most likely) or i might get the work meister s1 2pc and run a wider wheel in back. (8.5 or 9") maybe 16/17 stagger if i go with the meister s1

yeah, i guess the car has more than youd expect (like any vert). many owners swear that bracing should be before coilovers, and the guy making them is more than likely doing a final run this time. it works similarly to the "butterfly brace" that is available for Miatas
