    Man I love those gauges! I always catch myself just starring at mine!


    I bought my car with more miles than that! That is a "low mileage" Miata!

    Very, very minor update. One of my wheels had different lug nuts than the others. So, of course, I had to get all new ones.

    Besides, the old ones were old and nasty.



    I bought 16 Gorilla nuts (tee hee) from Planet Miata off the garage sale page for cheap. Thanks, Planet Miata!

    Package arrived and opened




    It's so tiny!





    I think I need to get rid of that shifter extension. And the grass on the floor mat

    New (to me) Momo



    I need to buy new screws. The horn button and ring are just sitting there for the pic.

    You got rid of the Classico? That was where I fell in love with them, and went straight to Papa Joe and got my first one.

    I still have the Nardi. I just really like the thicker rim of the Momo.

    You can never go wrong with a Nardi Classico but most Momo wheels FEEL so much better when driving, very nice choice in the Competition! Size? I went from a 360mm wood Classico to a 320mm Momo Corse and the Momo feels so much better when driving. It is amazing how much of a difference in ergonomics a good steering wheel can make.

    Btw, FANTASTIC looking Italia! The only way it could get better than an Italia with a LE interior is if you add boost or a motor swap....v8....drool.

    Cool car as ever. It looks super clean. Colour and interior is spot on and if I had the time and money a build I'd consider.

    Ive got a few different wheels including a momo but am a Nardi fan. I've a 330mm Classico in the corns and a deep corns in the tuckin99 which work if you want a smaller wheel. I've the anniversary Nardi in the pitcrew which is larger but I just love the look of it.

    A prototipo momo would work with your car too.

    It's 350mm. I was worried it would look too "race car." I do think the Classico looks better in there, but I'm happy with the Competition and it feels great. I agree a Prototipo would be amazing.

    Forced induction or V8 would be awesome. I had an FM turbo in my first Miata. Right now the reliability of a stock drivetrain makes sense for me.

    Thanks for the nice comments, guys.

    Installed the leather in February of 2014. Slightly less than two years later:
