Vesper the 96 Roadster

[— Willywongka —]

Looks very nice, I like the new steering wheel, especially with the new kg works horn push.

Thanks Mad,

It has definitely been a long slow process adding and removing pieces from the car, I hope I'll never get to the point when I'll run out of things to add to the car. Do you ever have that problem? =)

Definately one of, if not the cleanest white NA's I have seen....even with you playing bumper cars it is perfect!

Thanks! 2012 has definitely been one of those years I do not want to repeat car wise! I can only imagine how fast a V8 in our small cars would be like, that would be one scary bumper car! =)

Yes! Just gotta wait till the flipside custom seat brackets arrive and I will try to install them.

I love your wheels! Sadely they are really expensive!

Your ride looks really clean.

Thanks Tabasco,

Well all you have to do is slowly save up a 'Miata fund' so when a good deal pops up you will be able to jump on it. I'm not gonna lie its an expensive hobby.

When I feel I am spending too much money on this hobby of mine I just think of what my GF told me once, "It could be worse, you could be addicted to drugs or gambling or something."

This is shaping up to be one of my favorite roadsters ever.
So good, everything goes together nicely.

Jealous of those Elise seats, they should make an awesome addition into that sweet interior of yours.

[— Willywongka —]

Been a while since my last update. Only addition were the Elise seats and I also modded the seats with some air2gel kemmler padding that I saw a lot of people doing on the Lotustalk forum. The mod makes the regular seats a bit more comfortable to sit in, definitely worth doing.



I love the look of the seats, but the drivers seat will soon be swapped out with another seat soon. If all goes well I will get a matching seat, then I will most likely sell my Elise seats.

Loving that interior. Any plans for more power?

Holla at them seats. My back is killing me.

I've considered it, but I was just thinking about staying N/A. But I've also thought about slapping on a 99 head for more N/A power.

If anything MAYBE another supercharger down the road, though I would have loved to do IRTB's but of course that isn't CARB legal in CA =). Either way I just want NO headaches when it comes to more power. How about you, any plans for FI?

What seats do you have in your car right now?

[etikoner]

Yeah, maybe the the new super charger might be good for you. When I think of your car it's really one of those basic simple but really awesome roadster builds. Makes me wish everyone had money for a $15k engine build to keep with the roadster spirit, just sucks that Cali laws suck in that regard.

I'm building a high comp itb engine for my car. I thought I had some pics in my thread.. Lol I just saw half the pics are missing cause of stupid face book..

I have a Momo Start.

I just love the look and sound of ITB's... I've been down that road of going through some middle man to get my shit smogged every year, and all I gotta say is that its NOT worth the headache. Well the good thing is I can live vicariously though you and the few others that have successfully installed ITB's on their car!

I'm gonna drive my car in stock mode for quite a while... and after my next update I'm gonna really slow down on the spending on my hobby car. If I sat down and looked at how much I spent on my car over the last 4-5 years I'd probably have a heart attack.

I have a Momo Start.

I think I've seen it in your car before, is it pretty comfy?

[— Phatmiata —]

Recently fitted my KG works vintage horn button and I must say I am very pleased with how it looks!

Ricky is selling off everything......

that wheel looks pimp with the old school Mazda logo, you need these shiny bits to jazz up the area around the horn button.

Next time you see Ricky tell him I still have to send him some more Hot Wheels LOL

It's in the NB I just picked up.


Honestly it sucks if you're a small guy. My boney ass can't deal with the lack of cushioning in the wide seat. And I don't want to add a cushion because I'm already sitting higher than I was in my NA and I hate it.

Yeah, at least the stuff he is selling will be taken care of as long as they are in my possession =). It took a little getting use to since it is a 360mm and my previous Momo Tuner was a 350mm, those extra 10mm actually changes the feel of driving slightly. It felt like I was driving a bus for little bit. It took me about a week or so to get use to it.

I may have to get a set of those steering wheel bolts later, thanks for the link!

I may have to pick up a set of those bolts for my steering wheel.

Yeah us slim Asian guys need to get those Asian seats that fit our tiny butts!

So are you done with your NA then?
