They had a killer deal on the 17x10 +50 RS2 in that special blue color...I just couldn't pull the trigger. I felt 10" was too wide for the front since aesthetically I really liked the staggered look.

I honestly think I dig your RG's better...although these obviously look sex.

Forgot to post this - I saw a 4xxwhp AP1 meet an untimely death last night. Poor guy money shifted and all you saw was oil everywhere. He lined up for a race against an E92 M3 with bolt-ons and the rest is history. Shame.

He plans on fitting a T56, a K24 crank and a bigger turbo now. Dude's more power hungry than I am!

Hell no...
that's crazy. LS swap or nothing.

Tyler, on Chip's car, I spent the money on the CR emblems...but then realized that I hated how hard it was to realign the emblems where they belong and that they looked like black plastidipped emblems.

So Adam is right, this time around I just black plastidipped the emblems.

Lol what a little jerk.

I missed out on buying a S2000 CR. Back in 09, I thought it was a stupid concept. Now I'm over here weeping.

I highly doubt that, Roly. You have 2 exceptional cars and I bet you wouldn't be any faster around a track in a CR with that ugly ass wing. Even if you were, then you'd just be hear whining about how if you had a spec miata and smaller testicles, you could be even faster.

I think you see what I'm getting at.

Haha. Thanks. I like the CR for its limited edition availability and its focused intentions.

I don't think a stock CR would be faster than my car. But...the wing does have my interest lol. I think its the perfect blend of streetable and functionality.

I had a voltex gt wing last year. But...I didn't want an expensive wing that was going to get put on just for track days. The CR wing doesn't look too out of place.

I'm not a wing guy...
I'll gladly go around a track a little slower to have the car look the way I like.

Then again, I have never been to a track nor do I have interest in it.

It's a well proven fact that the moment you get behind the wheel of a Miata, your testicles grow by 30%.

Only the manliest of manly men can drive miatas to help offset the feminism of the car.

Your testicals must be confused..... I heard when you sit in a Miata your loose everything manly about you... Start having your aunt flow come and visit you as well.

New parts incoming





















and.......... they're nothing special .

Replacing my coolant overflow tank (cracked & leaking) & ordered a new license plate light bulb cover.

So, you guys have any suggestions on any new mod(s) that's under $500 bucks?

Exterior or interior or performance.

Not looking for Side strakes, Front lip, or anything to make my car lower.

I got some boring new parts too New side marker housing and fender emblems.

There's an Excel spreadsheet on my laptop that I have parts listed out that I would like to purchase. I'll list a few and maybe they'll give you an idea for your own car

-New Floormats
-OEM Metal Shift Knob
-Strut Bar
-Cooling Plate
-New Speakers (Subwoofer, too?)
-LBP Repaint

About the last one. But really

Thanks, J

Whenever I man up and get aftermarket wheels, I'm sure I'll end up doing that.

Or you could indefinitely be smart and just rock the oem look, maybe a little lower. Save that money, fuck it. You won't enjoy the car any more or less.

For now, spacer...dmv motorsports on ebay. $120. 15/17 and you'll be happy for a while, man.

I can't wait to see it coming together. So much more rewarding.
