Aren't all the 01+ "sport" brakes? The spoke design leads me to believe that they WILL fit
Found on m.net
"All Miatas from 2003-2005 had the larger 2001-2002 "sport" brakes...and base models still had 15" wheels. If you have one of the 14" space-saver spares, you'll have to change it to a 2001+ spare (they're 15"), otherwise, just about any 15" alloy wheel will fit the largest of the NB-model's brakes."
Sorry, no experience with that wheel setup, or sport brakes.
Did some small work on the gauge cluster last night. replaced bulbs, calibrated needles etc. It's good enough for now!
Will be putting the NeoGens on the car this evening. Getting it ready for the weekend trip.
Tires on but wheels scuffed a bit. Not too mad, but still.
What do you guys thing about the vintage-style fuel lid (OBX/Zoom) on the NB?
I have always wanted to pick one up, but have 2 issues: First being that the car is black. Would it stick out like a sore thumb? The only other shiny on my car are the wheel lips.
Secondly, Would it disrupt the curvy sleek look of the car, adding something from an obviously different era?
Here is the only pic I could find for reference, but it's not that great. Lid looks good, but I don't know if that's due to the wheel color:
OH, And I really like the look of those clear winkers and side marker lights.
Personally I think that looks good. I too am a fan of that vintage style lid. I feel both the NA and NB have a stylish "vintage" look to them from the get go. As for the polish. Anything polished on a black car makes the color pop that much more. A very "VIP" look. And since you have polished lips on your rims they would compliment each other. But, if the chrome look isn't your thing then you can always try plasti dipping the lid black just to get an idea of how it looks and later on powder coat it.
Oh look, another website putting their watermark on my photos... Anyway, I really liked that fuel lid, it didn't disrupt the overall look of the car but people noticed it and complimented it all the time. That being said when I had the car repainted I threw the stock fuel lid back on (figured it might as well match just in case) and never swapped it back for the vintage lid, I guess it was just time for a change. What Slipstreem said is true too, I've seen the same lid powdercoated black on a black car and it looked great as well. Here's a couple more shots, in the last picture you can just see the lid, I think it's just the right splash of chrome.
I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.

It does look rather classy. I want your tail lights, too.
Are the Morette Lights still available??
It does, I'd say go for it! I wasn't sure about the tail lights at first, but after paint and install I loved them.Originally Posted by Demon I Am
Not that I'm aware of. Rev9 did have them but the site says Sold Out now.

My idle acts strange for the past couple of days. It is on a steady 820-830rpm but dips down to 780 when headlights are on. I suspect a depleted battery (unlikely as it was changed in 2013) or dying alternator. I will measure alternator output voltage tomorrow; any other leads on what it might be?
