She'll get some more attention tomorrow. I'll go over her with the claybar and give her a coat of wax. I should really do a full buff and polish, maybe next month.

Maybe this is the year I can finally get a rear bumper back on... lol
I love your roadster so much.
Same wheel and tire sizes? That's a very helpful comparison if so.Quote:

Got some snow this weekend.. Guess I took the BRG out of storage a little early :whistle:

I can't recall ever seeing your car without the HT.
Soft top is gone, so the hard top is bolted on pretty much permanently. Chassis flex that you get driving topless changes the feel of my car completely, so I rarely take it off.Quote:

3. Does the sidemarker on the 94 work or is it just a reflector? Either way, I want it.
Thanks!
Will second the larger photo request, would make a great wallpaper! Side markers AFAIK are just that; blinkers not reflectors, at least in EUDM cars
Since the US cars didn't come with them, I can see how someone would want the look but not to drill the holes. Just curious! I love how they look.Quote:

Panasports are always a good look
The side marker is functional, comes on only when using the signal lights. Yes you'll have to drill a hole in the fenders. I think there is a set for sale on this forum right now
A large photo would be awesome!Quote:

Panasport brought a new version of this wheel to market earlier this year. They call it " Z light " size is 15x7 +30, so slightly more agressive than what they've been offering in the past for the miata.
Here's the link : https://goo.gl/xTCkU7
YOu should post recent pictures of the BRG, Geoff. It’s living a good life with you.
Thanks! Didn't know there was a new Panasport, interesting...Quote:

Safety Drive tribute from the old JDM racers' sponsor Okamoto Rubber Manufacturing Company (Japan’s largest condom manufacturer - more on that story here: http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/the-...ogo-explained/).
A modified version was created for Rocketbunny with a more "sinister" hand. No linkage to ORMC as far as I know.

I see you too like to use your inactive Miata as a rack/storage space for stuff.

I had considered that roll bar at one point. Nice touch with the brake light.
Thanks. The brake light has made a huge difference keeping suv’s off my tail in urban traffic. It also has a rapid flash module to make it more obvious.
My father pasted away last Friday, so the day of his service I had a few hours free and I decided to go for a "get lost drive" to clear my head. I stopped at park to take a few shots while I stretched my legs some. He put himself through school as a mechanic on his way to become highly respected mechanical engineer. I've rebuilt almost every part of my Miata because he taught me the basics.

New engine doing alright?
There dont seem to be any issues with it, sounds about the same as before, temps were normal. Only issue I've come across, is the pop up light on the instrument panel stays on. Did manage to fix my door locking problem though!
See if one of the pop up mechs is getting jammed or caught on something. Check the fuses in the engine bay are seated.

Thank You for posting this photo of your car. The front looks soooooooooooo good!!! Red with the fog lights and KG Works 2B turn signal air vents. Now I can't wait to get mine done as my 97 NA is the same color and I have the same pieces to go on it as well. My car looks Very Bad for the last 4yrs. as it got hit by golf-ball & tennis-ball size hail when I was at the eye doctor:(Quote:

Last Night was a weekly car meet I attend here in South Florida (If any of you guys are in Miami area look up @sealevelsociety on Instagram.) But before the meet decided to change up the engine bay a bit. Took out the ARC box and strut bar and went mazdaspeed.

That depends on you, where you would like to mount it. By the way there was no fog light attached to the Roadster in Japan.Quote:

I don´t like the ugly fog light at all.
