I wish you audiophiles lived in So Cal

Well, some of us do.

I like it man. That first pic just shows how the car is so happy about her owner, lol. The new headlights just give a robotic look to the happiness but most definitely a great look. i also like those turn signals scoop.

Wow I had no idea Miatas could be made to look so aggressive. Anyways what the hell does that gauge say, is that some funny Engrish or something?

"Something Else Auto"?

That dash cluster is awesome.
David, I hope you have a garage to hide this car in. It will soon be a magnet for theft. 'Just a thought. A moded Miata is in much higher demand with thieves than our Foci. I have a contact for razor wire and electric fences.

Yes Something Else AWD.... AWD is the name of the place who makes the gauges... I wish they had some with the Roadster emblem.

Chromie.. not sure if they were overnighted but they sure as hell got here fast.

Dana.. there is a company named "Wolf Miata" that makes an encompassing alarm system. Has proximity sensors and everthing so if someone reaches inside the car the alarm goes off even if they do not touch anything. The alarm is custom created for miata's so it covers all aspects perfectly. Of course any alarm can be worked around, but I have no intentions of leaving to much eye candy for a thief to want.


ZX3autoxtasy ... yes a Flyin Miata turbo. they have new cast manifolds that they have done some really good flow work on. I can't wait to get one on this car. I just hope the CARB number comes soon so I can apply the sticker then start changing things up

Here is a pic of a Miata I saw at NOPI a couple of years ago. It's one of my favorite ones, kinda reminds me of CARS.

Those teeth are really popular (they have all diffferent kinds). You can rest assured they will never see my car, nor will a wing like that.

What a freaky looking car.

No wing? You plan to go turbo, but no wing? I bet you might at least reconsider that someday. There's a kid from Vancouver, BC who drives a blue Miata with *added HP*, big fat slicks, and a wing. It's hard to love the wing, but he's fast at Pacific Raceways and I'd bet the wing makes a difference. Maybe you should get a spare trunk lid and slap a wing on it for track days! Heh.

Yea, Slickshoes mentioned the idea of a spare trunk lid for track days with a wing on it. If I do a wing, that will be how I do it, but again, the wing will NOT be like that. I already have a low profile wing but I'm sure it provides no downforce at all.

At some point if I feel I want to go faster then I'll get a big wing on a spare trunk. We'll see.
