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.

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.

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

Super clean!
Love the color combo and the stripes. I haven't driven mine since September
These cars need and benefit from a drop even more than the CL!

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!

Love the subtle things you've done. Can't wait for some nicer pics with the new shoes and a drop!
edit: Have you gotten a chance to autox it yet? We sold ours before I ever did and still regret.

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.

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.
