My '05 LO and my roomies '04 Ti. We swap a few different sets of wheels/tires between the cars, lol.

Parts finally arrived 2 weeks ago!
Here are a few more recent shots since my last post.
Autocross with Martin Sports Car Club on 1/10, after I stopped mowing down cones on my first 3 runs I was able to come within 2-3 tenths of the GT3 RS and the C63 sAMG, the Cooper S didn't stand a chance.

Relaxing in the garage after autocross and checking over some things to make sure she is still tip top, DD Fiesta lurking in the background.

A few shots from the Rolex 24 meet at Classic Mazda. I wish I took more pictures, lots more Miatas and RX7's as well.

Willis (Willywongka) and I went to an "Initial D meet" in NorCal earlier this morning...huge turnout of 400+ cars. Our roadsters got a lot of looks. Well, I think most people were drawn to Willis' roadster. :)
Pictures were taken by our friend (who also has a roadster, but is unfortunately down atm.)
Vesper and Jazz

Willis' NA is...perfect. Peek at his new wheels. :)

Thanks for posting the pics Bryan! =) It was nice to go to a proper meet again... it has been too long.
What a pair of beauties!
Star sharks and wats! Looking good you two!
Thanks to Randy for the incredible packaging job he did on this pedal car. I had to change box cutter blades 51 times before I could wrestle this car out of it's double layered box!

Drop it an inch and a half, Tony, maybe two, add a 10-15mm spacer and you will have a beautiful car with great fitment -and awesome wheels, too! My .02

Thanks guys!

Had both out and realized I don't have many pics of them together.
Does your NA fit in the back?Quote:

If it wasn't for the shadows there'd be a little forced persective going on in that pic. The Miata is small, but not that small. It's not like it's a kei car. Huh, I think I want a Suzuki Cappuccino... and they did just become legal for import.
Now this is one sweet ride! Never really liked red NA's but you sir have changed my mind on them! So good!!Quote:

Did Zack sell you the 6ULs?
Nah, just borrowing them for a week.
The 200 with the spacers and singular end plates?Quote:

If so how is that running for you? And did you brace the deck-lid to handle the extra pressure. If it is in your build thread I'll have to have another sleepless night delving. LOL
200 is in my near future plans for Noir.
2.5" risers and the standard end plates that it comes with.Quote:

Clean as usual pnoy1duh! :)
Jazz is straight killing it.
Not my greatest effort. While focusing, two cars came charging into spots close to my car and I was in a hurry to snap the shot before the large woman in the BMW got out (and of course once people saw I was taking pictures they loitered):

I'd love to see more of your car but I can't because you've got a giant black border effect surrounding a low-resolution image. Compounding the problem, all images are automatically scaled down by MazdaRoadster.net forum software to fit neatly within the confines of the style template. But even if I click on the image and select View Image it doesn't get much better. IMO you're better off uploading images that are at least 1024x768 resolution or better (without that border effect) so we can see what's up.Quote:

Half way done putting my interior back in. Just need to get the seats reupholstered and fix some wiring gremlins.

Also pulled the crap out of my front fenders to fit the 9.5s and mocked up the Nue rear quarterpanels. Hopefully heading to the body shop soon.

Made it out to an autocross yesterday for the first time in over a year. The car felt great!

How’s handling affected with the wider/lower offset wheels? Especially at a track event. PM me if you want so we don’t spam the thread.

Haven't posted in awhile. Changed the steering wheel...loving it.

I really like the RF, but it is funny how bulky it looks in comparison to the NA. Then, it is way funnier how small both look next to that Punto :P
