    Yeah was thinking that last night, I have the OLD version of the RS Panel so I am going to install that this week to see if I like it any better, also have an AWD panel so ill swap them all around to see which works best

    But the brass Nielex Shift Knob complements the gold colored Nielex Hazard/PopUp Toggle switches nicely, so I'm keeping that one.

    its all about the details.............

    I was thinking that, too!

    I really like the Nielex vents - the openings are much larger than mine.

    Time to install that old skool Panasonic tube radio.

    SWAG! I have one too, but I think I'll swap it for another I have with circumferential grooves.

    RS*R Ex-Mag GT-II

    Low miles apparently was only used a few thousand miles and then removed because the owner wanted something else.

    Overall good condition, no rust which is rare, and even came with the silencer (which I'll probably remove later)

    There is some light discoloration from heat and being used, but that was expected. But anyhow really happy with this purchase. Hoping to get this on the car soon.

    So I forgot I had this custom B6 valve cover powdercoated in wrinkle red from Alex here on the forum, it was some really fabulous work. I think I posted it on the forum but cant find the old post



    No much happening with the 1993 LE Miata lately as I am waiting for the new house to get built.
