Car is in the air, commence fender rolling.

Also, picking up some black seats today. Dont know what I'm going to do with them, but they are cloth and will feel nice in the summer.

Long behold...Turns out Discount shipped the wrong tires, so I got 245/40s for the price of 235s.

Fucking sticks to the road like nothing I've ever driven before.

Did you go with the g-force sport comp2s?

chill_dog

Looks great!!!

MarbleGT

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Im looking at it at the window right now & making weird groaning noises. I think my wife thinks I'm sick.

What tires did you go with?

MarbleGT

BFG G Force Sports.

The Comp2s weren't available yet.

Ok, I noticed you mentioned the Comp2s on the previous page but wasnt sure if thats what you got. TireRack says they wont be available until the first week of April. Im getting ready to buy new tires, and Im trying to decide between the Comp2s and the Conti DWs. Similar prices, but the Contis have tons of reviews and weigh about 4lbs less per tire. Ive had the old g-force Sports and wasnt impressed though.

Comp2 FTW, those were awesome

Would have bought my own set if I didnt need tires sooner

MarbleGT

Went out with my good friend Simon today and had a little photoshoot. He bought my old RS+Ms.

Nice pics.

holy fat tires on a little car batman.

Look good. Actually makes the little bugger aggressive.

Be careful with launches though...more rubber = harder on the axles.

MarbleGT

Thanks guys.

Sarlacc, they are massive. It looks weird/insanely badass looking at the rear of the car. Im glad I didn't go with 255s, I don't think I would have the clearance for it with out really going medieval on the fenders. Luckily I dont launch it really...ever. Its not a fast car in a straight line at all...maybe 15s quarter with the performance mods I've done. In the corners though...different story.

I didn't want to be able to see from the outside that they've been rolled.

Wow, looks amazing! Almost convinced this will be my next car.

I liked your old set up, but your new wheels/tires are much better than your old ones.

The new wheels look effing great man! Congrats!

MarbleGT

Thanks dood!

Mazda/CRV caps ftw.

Sarlacc

choice #2

Costco

I'm the only one, but I like no center caps. Maybe because I'm used to seeing wheels like the Meister S1 and RPF1 without center caps?

MarbleGT

Washed and waxed her over the weekend.

Also, I found some RPF1 Center Caps in the Black Market over on the Miata forum for more than half off. I'll probably still attempt a custom cap, but for the time being...it will be the RPF1 cap, I can always sell them.

Next mod...TONS of Alcantara. I want to re-wrap the steering wheel, shift boot, brake boot, gauge hood cover and possible the door pulls. All black...

...but what color stitching? White will get dirty so my options are either black, which will be the cleanest or Yellow/Orange like the seats' stitching.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Yellow/Orange stitching.

MarbleGT

I guess I could always "make" it black if I didn't like it.

I like the idea of some contrast. Plus, on the gauge hood cover it would look sweet.

KillerG

coffee to match the soft top

keep one theme that way!

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

I dont think the brown would match the seats though.

BTW, pics of the seats? I looked really quickly through your thread and didnt see them.

MarbleGT

The stitch would be the yellowish stitch as seen here. I need to get better interior shots...

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Id get something that matches the leather on the seats. After seeing the pics of the seats, the top actually does match it - somewhat.

MarbleGT

Both are those wierd colors that are impossible to take pictures of. Case and point.




...and just browsing through pictures, its changed a shit ton from when I first bought it. I dont even recognize this car anymore.

1StGenCL

That looks damn good! I hate eyelids but yours are growing on me and make the car look mean. Still unsure about the LED thin lights, are they running like an Audi or fogs?

Love everything about it!

80k miles :wow: You do drive a lot!

MarbleGT

They are just DRLs. They turn on when I turn the car on and off with the ignition or when I turn my parking lights on. Anything to help get noticed a little more.

MarbleGT

The first three years I had it, my daily commute to work and back was about 75 miles, now its less than 4. I only put on about 8k miles last year.

Rick_TL-S

Looks really, really good! I think we need to get together soon.
