MX5 Update
 
Well this car has been a blast...nimble, quick, fun, and efficient. Im waiting for a turbo kit to hit the market, and we're real close to!

Full suspension and exhaust!

Ive got some RX7 wheels for the track (16x8 - 245/45/16) and am waiting for my custom milled RJ Servos for the street (18x7.5 - 225/35/18).

Next is the appearance package (front and rear lips, side skirts, and lip spoiler).

Stereo is after that. Prob. going with an Avic F series, with 2 6.5" W3s behind the seats.

Ill wait and see about the turbo when it comes. :wish:

Looking good!

Looks great! It's a terrific car, my wife loves her MX-5 and keeps mentionning how she loves it and misses it since she put it away for winter.

Glad you're still enjoying it. Looks great!!!

Costco Jan 8, 2009 02:33 AM

Looks great, I never noticed your car had stripes on it, or did you add them afterwards?

1killercls Jan 8, 2009 05:17 AM

Great car. But I am rather biased. i own 2 mazdas. :rofl:

pmptx Jan 8, 2009 08:13 AM

J,

As always you have put together a really nice piece of work.

Can't wait to see it in person on the 24th.

EuRTSX Jan 8, 2009 08:47 AM

Damn, that is one hot MX-5

godfather2 Jan 8, 2009 08:50 AM

GreenMonster Jan 8, 2009 12:21 PM

Looks great Jordan !! :thumbsup:

hemhaw Jan 10, 2009 10:22 PM

Super clean!

Love the color combo and the stripes. I haven't driven mine since September :cry:

These cars need and benefit from a drop even more than the CL!

If i'm not mistaken, they brought back the "Miata" name for '09...I know his car isn't an '09, just making a statement..:toocool:

neuronbob Jan 11, 2009 10:38 AM

Clean car. That is one hot Miata!

MarbleGT Nov 10, 2010 03:40 PM

Little Update
 
Not a lot has been going on with the ol' MX5. Lots of road trips, lots of top down.

Just bought some 17x8 silver Ultraleggeras and coilovers...will do a full update in the next few weeks with better pictures...

Still loving it!

d-townhakuzo Nov 10, 2010 07:09 PM

Jordan you need to come out to another meet man. Meeting you at Peter's was tight man. It's Shawn btw...

VQPower37 Nov 10, 2010 07:11 PM

damn those are some sexy pics ... nice mx5!

MarbleGT Nov 10, 2010 07:28 PM

Ill come to another meet, yea I remember you guys!

Thanks for the nice words fellas.

nokiaman Nov 10, 2010 09:46 PM

Love the subtle things you've done. Can't wait for some nicer pics with the new shoes and a drop! :thumbsup:

edit: Have you gotten a chance to autox it yet? We sold ours before I ever did and still regret.

MarbleGT Nov 10, 2010 10:38 PM

No I haven't. After the new coilovers, brace kit and monster tires are on...I'll be looking into it.

Heres a pic of the interior the week I bought it. Since then I've added a Pioneer F700, stainless voodoo knob, slotted pedals, windblocker, escort, S2K antenna and a leather/alcantara wheel.

I always liked the new MX-5, and they grew on me even more. Love the flared fenders and the interior on yours. I'm a sucker for black and red/orange/brown/"saddle" interiors.

G Nov 11, 2010 09:26 AM

Haven't seen it since you put the lip kit on-looks great!

You going to make it down this Saturday?

CLtotheTL32 Nov 11, 2010 09:36 AM

Looking good man! I've driven a few of the new MX-5s and I love them.

Got some family stuff going on...I've thought about making the drive though.

I need to come down for a visit sometime soon anyway.:thumbsup:

MarbleGT Nov 11, 2010 10:34 AM

Heres the stance we're looking at with the new wheels. Nothing crazy, just nice and flush. My car will be slightly lower than this car.

After a long debate over 6ULRs or RPF1s or the Ultraleggeras, an offer I couldn't refuse came up on the OZ's. With this setup I wont have to roll any fenders or worry about any crazy camber. Nice and clean.

Nice. Sorry to have missed you on the BMT last weekend. We had a blast.

Gimme a holla when you get a chance and we can see about a drive with the S2K group.

Thats a nice lookin' car you have there! :thumbsup:

Shoofin Jan 8, 2011 05:16 PM

:thumbsup:

neuronbob Jan 8, 2011 05:57 PM

MX-5 FTW. Nice job there!

myron Jan 8, 2011 07:19 PM

nice car. I really like it. So turbo in the future? How much HP do these cars have stock and how much would it have with a simple turbo upgrade. Nothing too insane
