I just posted a thread about Langka... Every time I try to open it, Explorer's opening another thread of another topic! Whoever can see it, can you copy and paste what I wrote and send me a PM with what I wrote, and anyone that responded to re-respond again when I delete that one and re-post it again so I can see what you wrote? It keeps opening a thread titled "New movie about racing" started by SVT!

Ed,
I just noticed that too. The post it's going to is one that was deleted earlier today. I clicked the edit/delete box in the message and your original message appears, here it is. I also sent you some different pictures for photoshop.

I tried 4 times already to remove the blob on my touched up scratches on the Miata...First three times, I waited the 90 minutes that they suggest to wait. Every time I tried to remove the blob around the scratch, the paint would come out of the scratch too.. Someone on the board with experience with Langka suggested I let the touch-up paint dry for 2 days, which is what I did, and still, no positive results..Not only did it remove the paint around and in the scratch, but it also removed the pinstripe I had on the car!
I had a silvery-white pinstripe running from front to back of the car, and then this nasty aqua green scribbly pinstripe in the center of each doors... On a good note, I finally figured out how to remove the nasty aqua pinstripe, but I wanted to keep the silvery-white one oh well.. I ended up Langka-ing the pinstripe all around the car and it came off like nothing...so now the car's pinstripe-free! I don't know if I should be happy or sad...

Hey SoofinTL, what was involved in changing the wheels to 17 inches. I want to get the 2002 TL but dont like the TL mags, but I love the TLS mags. Do the mags fit with no mods. Do you need to recalibrate the speedometer.

Yes, the 17" Wheels fit with no problems. As far as I know, you will need to go with a 225/45 tire rather than stock size(215/50) to avoid rubbing. Speedometer can't be recalibrated. The wheels are CL-S wheels, not TL-S..the differences being a 7" wide wheel for the CLS and 6.5" wide for the TLS, also there are other differences, visual though..

I think TLS wheels should be ok with stock tires due to the fact that it's a narrower rim... There are other subtle differences between the CLS and TLS wheel, you know..
