    They are VERY difficult to track down but WTB ads proved very useful, though may take months to produce results.


    @PaulB: When I had a Facebook account, I reached out to RyokuRob but never heard anything from him. So you could try that route. I even reached out to Project G who worked with Rob to produce them and they said he had been MIA for some time and this was over a year ago, iirc.

    Rob travels a LOT. He also has a young family, so getting a hold of him is pretty difficult. There are smaller, close knit groups that he's on, but they are private. His runs are usually small batches and MTO when he has time. He did a small run at the beginning of February, but kept it local.

    Hope I can get into his next batch! Thanks everyone.

    I've heard rumors that RyokuRob will not be producing any more new batches...then again, just rumors.

    I think the last time there was a batch made was at least 2+ years ago.

    You and your negativity!! Haha jk jk

    And i see Garage Star doesnt make their rear flat hook anymore. Sad sad.

    Got this installed tonight.

    Cut the "hi-flow" grille to fit around it. Looks decent.

    Rear flat hook? Do you mean the brace or was it a hook?

    if it was the brace they still have them. If their site is wrong, they have none and you want a brace then I think this one looks nice:

    Oh. That looks a nice tow hook, shame they stopped making that. It seems as though they are moving away from Miata's?

    Garage Star shorty console arrived today. Excited for the 2018 interior changes.

    Does the GS console come with the trim ring?

    Lousy Buffalo weather has put the Miata fun behind schedule for a couple weeks.

    The car came out today and got driven. Only a few spirited miles.

    OMG! The new suspension is incredible! Car feels amazing. Only got to drive it with the new FM VMaxx and chassis braces slowly in the rain the day before it got parked for winter.

    But I have been collecting parts.

    Today the new wheels arrived.
    949 6UL 15x9 +12 tungsten . They're beautiful.




    Time to order tires!

    Installed the valve stems right away.


    Finished up my GarageStar center console. Truck bedliner and then some satin spray. Hacked up boot retainer and new bolts.

    I really missed the shift boot. Maybe because it matches the steering wheel and handbrake boot? Idk. It will help tie it the soft interior goods together.

    Will be getting an OEM non-cut tombstone from a friend and will get it installed eventually.

    Next project will be to install the third gauge cup I got from Adam recently. It will be for my temperature gauge. Originally planned to put gauge in my glove box, but the glove box exploded and helped me decide that three gauge cups will be the better route.



    Cannot wait to drive the car more. Need to tweak suspension before it gets driven hard and autocrossed as well as adjusting for new wheels and tires.

    Your car is really coming together. Those wheels look great!
    I will be very interested in how your suspension and wheels work out, especially with the wheel width. I guess you will find out soon enough if you have a tire clearance issues.

    Nice! The exact finish I plan on getting if a get 15x10 6ULs. I think you will love the grip with the wider wheels and tires.
