The MTE37's are finally back on the car ! I took out the Star Spec's tires and replaced them with 205/45 S Drives. Same as my SSR's.



I'm running a 3MM spacer. Alignment will be done tomorrow. Should reduce the fender gap.

I love the colour combo. Bronze on the Emerald Mica = ❤

Whoa.....it's been 10 months since my last post! So much has happened.

Here's a quick update.

Around February I got my REV9 order...... a Jet's Integral Kobe N1 Spec Ver 3 exhuast system! I haven't put this on yet since I need a new midpipe :/



2 months later I got a huge box! This was purchased back in December on YAJ.



Preowned NOPRO front bumper!



I was able to repair the damage with some help. Bumper didn't get painted until a few months later.



The REV9 Autosport 10th Anniversary meet was scheduled for Houston on Sept 3rd and almost got cancelled because of Hurricane Harvey. Luckily, the city rebounded pretty quickly and the curfew was lifted that same day. Woohoo !

Fiona...all cleaned up and ready for the meet! Few items were removed...Chaser Aero hood.....Jetstream front splats.....APR support rods.



The meet was held at 8th Wonder Brewery. Same as last year. Was great to hangout with friends and see new faces.









Maxime crashed at my place for the night. Always fun to hang out with this guy!







The following week I was doing some shopping and decided to street park. Bad idea!! The car parked in front of me must of backed into my car and .....it was nowhere to be found. My AutoExe bumper got banged up.



Luckily the damage was minimal.



I wasn't too upset from this because I had just gotten my NOPRO back from paint the day before the accident.



I was motivated more than ever to install this front bumper !



And then this happens................. 3 days after my first accident and first drive with the NOPRO installed.



At a red light the truck behinds instantly hits the gas when the light turned green.



I was in disbelief......at least this one wasn't a hit and run. Damage doesn't look severe at first glance....but I can't open my trunk. I'm afraid the chassis might of buckled near the license plate area. The trunk is warped as well from the hit.

I'm not saying Thanks for the damage but for the update and awesome bumper. Hope everything works out.

Oh man... I saw your post on IG but didn't know the damage was so deep. I hope it's all fixable.

You'll love how the exhaust sounds! I'm running the same setup as you (AutoExe ram air intake and Kobe N1 Spec Ver 3) and I'm in love.

Here's more pics of the NOPRO front bumper.





Just purchased a OEM front bumper retainer to fix the hood gap.

Man.... I haven't posted in a long time!

Let's get everyone caught up.

Shortly after installing the NOPRO bumper, I decided it wasn't low enough for my liking. It didn't match the height of my side skirts. I contacted APR performance and sent them a cardboard template for a splitter. I wanted the corners to have a different shape from the bumper.

2 weeks later I got my custom splitter!!!



After installing the front splitter, I decided to go to a car meet and in route my splitter decided to tear off in the highway! The front bumper shook violently...luckily I was near a exit and was able to slow down quickly. The APR splitter only came with 9 bolts and washers for the install. Once I ran out of hardware I decide to use regular screws along the edge of the bumper. These smaller screws were the ones that ultimately failed and ripped off. My NOPRO bumper got some stress cracks on the paint. Especially over the repair area I had worked on previously. Oh well, things could of gone worst.

This pic is from that day. I had to drive back home under 40 mph.



I really like how the splitter looks with the NOPRO canards. Super Aggressive!



Here's more pics from a talented local photographer.







Ever since the accident on the rear of the car I've decided to do a makeover even though cosmetically the damage wasn't too bad.

Here's a list of parts I'm hoarding at the moment.

1) Integral Kobe N1 Spec Muffler Ver3

2) Jet Stream Clubman R Rear Side Fins in carbon fiber.

3) Jet Stream Rear Bumper Lower Diffuser with carbon fiber fins.

This is the look I'm going for.

Back in March I bought KARO mats from REV9 Autosport. These are the RHD version but they fit our LHD Miata's just fine.



I got the SISAL model which is made of hemp. Black on Black !



I have DIY Roadster door bars and in order to fit these mats I'll have to do some cutting. Yikes !



In order to prevent the edges from fraying I used the molding from the door jams. I just happen to have a few laying around.



Now that's a clean modification!! I was super pleased.



Passenger side.



The mats look great with the rest of my interior !



The KARO plaque is on the right side. I don't mind it !



Last month I got the itch to buy something new for my interior. While browsing on YAJ, I found a trunk mat I've never seen before. I placed a sniper bid and I won!

Can anyone ID this mat? It's super nice and made with high quality materials.



The Roadster logo has suede and brass stitching. The colors compliment my emerald green NB very well.



What's cool is the mat covers the entire flat area of the trunk ! I love that since it covers my tools in the small cubby. I might relocate some of those tools so it can lay completely flat.





Here's some recent pics !!




As some of you might know, I've been working at REV9 Autosport for a few years now. It's been a amazing experience so far.

Maxime sent me the REV9 windshield banner and door graphics to match his ND. We both decided on this color scheme. I think it was the perfect choice. For those wondering.... the windshield banner is matte black with oil black lettering.

Nice updates, super jelly about the KARO mats, they look the part! That trunk mat, believe it or not, is OEM. I have the exact same one on my car (well, on my living room, it is too nice to have it on the car when daily it).
