Very nice!

[Caoboy]

Damn I want a g-string.

[sdemo45]

Nice car! I'm thinkin that upper rad hose needs some attention soon...

[garageSTAR]

That hose was beat to hell. Switched it out for a Samco before I left to LA.

Sorry for the crappy photo. Test fitting my new Craft Square mirrors and 15x9 UL's with RS3's.

new mirrors = 6732

[Phatmiata]

Wow this is a SEXY Miata!!! Loving the G-String too! The RSA Lights look Killer with those Zest Style TSI :bow:

[garageSTAR]

Thanks Randy! After 48 hour of running this setup I was over it. Put the SSR's back on tonight.

Also a few weeks back I picked up Garage Vary tails from my buddy Sean aka JDM Palace. Good thing he lives down the road from me.

For the month of March I plan to focus more on the motor and not so much on the appearance.

[I<3flippyheadlights]

I like the SSR's and chrome side mirrors MUCH more. 6 UL's are played out. You plan on switching the GV tail lights soon? What are the plans for the engine?

[garageSTAR]

From the other day.

SSR's are back on the car now. This is what it looks like with the Craftquare on the car. The mirrors are up for sale since I have no need for them anymore.

From this weekend

Now that I had a free weekend I fixed the alternator issue, replaced a bad belt and installed my water pump pulley. I installed the pulleys at home and forgot to take my impact gun home so I can change out the alt pulley while I had it out. I'll have to change it out on another weekend. Also I forgot to take a photo of the belt installed.

Met up with my homie Willis aka Willywonka for lunch and to drop of some parts.

My friends Al and Chris from Car & Bike Moto in Vallejo, CA are painting and installing my Garage Vary tail lights. This is what they texted me today. Can't wait to get my car back.

Your car gets cooler and cooler by the minute.....

:D

[theothersawyer]

Like I said on facebook, fitment looks phenomenal! :D

[Vegard]

This is looking better and better and still has a subdued coolness, no BAM in your face cool, just at ease with it's own coolness.

Wish I could get those craftsquares off of you, but alas no cash.

[garageSTAR]

Thanks for the kind words guys. I got a text with some updated photos today.

Ken car looks great wish i could get me a pair of those tail lights.





I wish you would Garagestar would make a set of tails like that with small differences so they wouldn't be considered knock offs of the GV lights .

[theothersawyer]

That looks fantastic!!

[garageSTAR]

While packing orders I took a break to snap a couple photos of the tail lights.

Lesac, JUST DO IT!!! I can tell you from first hand experience that there is no picture on the earth that does these lights justice, you really have to see them in person, the fit and finish is spot on, and man just so spectacular to drool at in person.

you can view More GV Tail lights installed in THIS thread

I emailed you twice a couple of weeks ago about some hardtop security bolts but never heard back from you.

Looks sick, Ken (:

[garageSTAR]

I was suppose to buy an NC over the weekend. It didn't happen.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y83/sidewaysae86/Miata/DSC_0976_25x25.jpg

[Phatmiata]

man why did you sell the red car?? it was perfect!! can't leave NA can you hahahahaha

[garageSTAR]

The car was nice but I have 6 NA's to test products on. I wanted to get a NC to start working on some new products and didn't want two project cars. I played this game with the AE86 and the red car. The AE86 lost that game. Looks like I will get a NC next year and I'm sure I can find a good price on a NC.


man why did you sell the red car?? it was perfect!! can't leave NA can you hahahahaha

[Flyin 92]

I'm kicking myself for not buying the GV tails

[revlimiter]

Love the new car! I saw it on instagram and smiled all big.

[Phatmiata]

.................. Looks like I will get a NC next year and I'm sure I can find a good price on a NC.

Just wait for the ND to come out and all of the other NA, NB, NC used prices will hit the floor.......

[Risingsun124]

Unrelated to the original topic, but I've noticed the NA prices are on the upswing as of recent, where as the other two are coming down quickly.

I think the clean low mileage (NA)s will always hold some value. Whenever I get free time I try to list them in this thread http://mazdaroadster.net/showthread.php?1964-Low-mileage-NA-s-still-holding-good-value!

Now back to more GarageStar goodness :slayer:

[atank]

I like the White!!!!!

[I<3flippyheadlights]

My god, that car is awesome.

[wolfgang]

looks like you traded up.

[garageSTAR]

Got new tires for the SSR's and had my Mazdaspeed trunk and wing painted by Car N Bike Moto in Vallejo. Next is to finish the bumper cut, paint behind the bumper and put stripes on the car.
